IF by R.K. - eau de parfum

IF by R.K. by the French perfume and cognac house, Frapin, is a warm, soft and woody perfume with a slight sweetness due to hints of fig, tonka bean and cinnamon.

R.K. are the initials of the historic British writer and poet, Rudyard Kipling. His famous poem “IF” was the inspiration for perfumer Anne-Sophie Behagel to create this perfume. With Kipling’s upbringing in Bombay, this fine fragrance is also an homage to India, and more precisely to the forests of the Karnataka region where the fascinating sandalwood, Mysore, grows.

Paragraph from IF by R.K.:
“If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And – which is more – you’ll be a Man, my son!”

Cinnamon, Sandalwood, Black pepper, Guaiac wood, Ginger, Cashmeran, Patchouli, Tonka beans, Fig, Bergamot
