Chantecaille Frangipane is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1997. Frangipane opens with Water Hyacinth, Orange, and Violet Leaf, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang, Frangipani, and Incense, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Vanilla. Chantecaille's Frangipane carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

A truly gorgeous, realistic tropical floral that has seduced many but frustrates an equal number with its maddeningly inconsistent availability and suspected reformulations. If you find a good bottle, cherish it, as it's a sublime take on frangipani.

About

Frangipane opens with a green, dewy freshness from water hyacinth and violet leaf, quickly ushering in the star of the show: a profound, honey-like frangipani. This central, intoxicating yellow floral is complemented by creamy ylang-ylang and delicate jasmine. A warm amber and vanilla base then wraps everything in a sensual, slightly sweet embrace, with a whisper of incense adding a touch of exotic depth.
