It is to François Rabelais, the most illustrious member of the dynasty, that the house of Frapin has dedicated L’Humaniste, a fragrance as bracing and limpid as the curious, open minds of Renaissance men. Its playful ‘gin’ accord is a wink to Rabelaisian humour and to the oracle of the Divine Bottle consulted by Pantagruel.

An intoxicating citrus perfect for the outdoors, L'Humaniste is fresh enough to be worn on hot days without becoming cloying. Pepper and spice notes add a soft kick. Gin notes add sophistication. A light, transparent favourite for casual summer cool.
