Freedom

Franck Boclet Freedom is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2019. The fragrance opens with Basil, Rosemary, Cumin, and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Tiare Flower, Passionfruit, Rum, and Tonka Bean, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Oakmoss, and Musk.

Our verdict on Freedom: Acquired

Freedom isn't for the faint of heart; it's a divisive beast. Some find its herbal, boozy complexity bold and captivating, a true scent of self-expression. Others find it harsh, even stuffy, likening it to furniture polish.

Given its strong opening and 'heavy' nature mentioned in reviews, this isn't an everyday office scent. It shines in more intimate or purposeful settings where its demanding character can be appreciated, suitable for a confident date night or a formal event seeking to make a statement.

About

Freedom opens with a lively, aromatic burst of basil, rosemary, and tangy mandarin, quickly deepened by a hint of cumin's earthy spice. The heart reveals a surprising twist with tropical passionfruit and creamy tiare flower, swimming in a rich, boozy rum and vanilla concoction. This leads to a dense, mossy base, grounded by patchouli and a soft musk, creating a thick, sweet, and somewhat powdery drydown that feels both vintage and daring.
