Frapin Checkmate Eau de Parfum 100 ml
Inspiration
Checkmate was created as a tribute to Pierre Frapin, a nobleman passionate about chess and equestrian pursuits. The fragrance evokes the atmosphere of leather armchairs, polished wood and intellectual refinement. It is a perfume of strategy and elegance, balancing the delicacy of tea and iris with the strength of leather and woods.

What our ParfuMaria team thinks of this fragrance
Checkmate is elegant, smooth and sophisticated. The opening of citrus and tea feels crisp and refined, followed by the powdery iris and mate that add depth and texture. The leather note is soft and polished, never harsh, while the woody musky base brings warmth and longevity. We love how versatile this fragrance is: refined enough for formal occasions yet comforting for daily wear. It feels like wearing a tailored suit with ease and confidence.
