6 Hours to Rio captures Frapin at its finest – a fragrance that balances elegance, refinement, and character with effortless style. Created by master perfumer Julien Rasquinet, this woody-amber composition embodies the vibrant tension between longing and distance in one captivating scent.
It opens with a radiant burst of bergamot, ginger, and mandarin – bright, spicy, and full of life. At its heart lies a sensual blend of cardamom, rose, and musk, unfolding into a smooth base of creamy sandalwood, earthy vetiver, and modern amber woods that linger delicately on the skin.
The name evokes the legendary Concorde flight – a supersonic journey to Rio, yet one that feels agonizingly slow when your heart aches to be reunited with the one you love. Onboard, amid the quiet luxury and anticipation, Frapin cognac flows freely.

Musk
Musk: versatile and exciting. Musky perfumes are powdery, creamy and caring, but also sensual, earthy and a little animalic. It is a favorite base note used in all kinds of products, from perfumes to skincare to candles and beyond. Back in the day, actual musk was derived from animal glands. Fortunately musk of animal origin is no longer allowed. The musky scents you smell today is entirely ethical, made up of a combination of beautiful synthetics and natural resources like plants.
