The House of Frapin introduces its newest fragrance…Speakeasy is an olfactive ode to film noir and illicit vices of an era long past captured by one of niche pefumery's most talented perfumers Marc‐Antoine Corticchiato of Parfums D’Empire.
“Imagine a Tropical bar where Hemingway could have bumped into the characters of To Have and Have Not. Misted glasses, club chairs, smuggled Cuban cigars savored by gentlemen bootleggers under wood ceiling fans fast churning the damp air…As tough as Bogart and as sensuous as Bacall in a black satin sheath”.

Heart notes: Cold Russian mint, Egyptian geranium
Base notes : Oriental leather accord (Ciste absolute, Labdanum absolute, Styrax essence),Turkish tobacco accord (Tobacco absolute, Liatrix absolute, Everlasting flower absolute Tonka bean absolue and White musks).

Editor's note: Really looking forward to Speakeasy, and it’s on my most wanted list for Fall 2012 so let me quote Slim from to Have or have Not “ You don't have to say anything and you don't have to do anything. Oh, maybe just whistle. You know how to whistle, don't you, Steve? You just put your lips together and… blow”.
