The “Bonne Chauffe" is the best kept secret of the master distillers, this second distillation which makes the reputation of the Frapin house. This is to evoke this ancestral know-how, that we have created with Maebh Mc Curtin from IFF, a fragrance to be enjoyed in winter by the hearth.
Iconic manufacturing secret giving its signature to the cognac, the "bonne chauffe" is the second distillation in a still of this spirit of character. The Maison Frapin offers you here, a powerful fragrance inspired by the burning fire; the one that heats, illuminates, forges and awakens the senses. Twigs, dried roots and shavings mingle with oak logs to provide warmth and protection in a flaming combustion with a thick veil of smoke. The fireplace crackles and embraces the air with its blaze.
The noisy vigour of a feast shared in a rustic, friendly and lively atmosphere is followed by a more subdued moment. Around the barely glowing embers, the drinks are passed from hand to hand. The final smouldering and glistening bark is mixed with the balmy, round scent of chocolate and honey. After a long day working, the scents of sweet liquor, vanilla milk and French coffee reward body and soul.
Notes of plum and davana compete with the smoky woody notes of vetiver, benzoin and cedar wood for a powerful and warm scent like a long winter's night by the fire.
