Product detail
"If" is the English title of the famous poem by Rudyard Kipling.
"I was fortunate enough to travel across India from north to south during a charity race this year and passed through Mysore, where the verses 'If you can keep your head when all about you are losing theirs...' came back to me. It was my grandfather, a great traveler, who introduced me to this poem when I was a child. This lesson needs to be repeated every day to become the person we are." David Frossard, artistic director of Maison Parfums Frapin. It is India that is honored in this latest creation, specifically the precious wood from the Karnataka region, Mysore sandalwood. And who better than the poet native to Bombay to accompany with his verses the gentle and warm scent of this olfactory composition.
