Frais et Frais Gentlemen's Code is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2026. Gentlemen's Code opens with Bergamot, Lavender, Pepper, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Sea Water, Amber, and Patchouli, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vetiver, Vanilla, and Tonka Bean. Frais et Frais's Gentlemen's Code carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Gentlemen's Code is Frais Et Frais trying desperately to cling to relevance, but it's too little, too late. A tired riff on overplayed themes, it's destined to be either instantly forgotten or relentlessly derided as a cheap knock-off of something better.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall

Its aromatic, fresh spicy and woody composition leans towards autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Casual Sport
Also Works:
Office Date

Its moderate projection and generally inoffensive, if derivative, aroma make it fit for casual wear and the gym. It lacks the sophistication or uniqueness for formal events or impressive dates, and while it could work in an office, it won’t make any waves.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

Other declarable allergens

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a fleeting burst of bergamot and blackcurrant, quickly overshadowed by a generic, peppery lavender. The aquatic heart promises freshness but delivers a murky, synthetic amber, whilst the base attempts a comforting dry-down with vanilla and tonka, bogged down by an earthy patchouli. It's a jumble sales of notes, trying to be everything to everyone and succeeding at nothing.
