The world first encountered Frangipane by Rimmel in 1865. A feminine fragrance belonging to the floral family. Available as eau de cologne.
Brand country — the United Kingdom. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A fresh and light fragrance with a concentration of fragrant substances up to 5% according to French standards, giving a feeling of purity and coolness
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The composition of Frangipane unfolds as a cohesive olfactory arc, where layers reveal themselves without rush and without gaps. The creative approach of Rimmel is recognizable in details that define the fragrance identity. No excess details, only what works, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de Cologne sets the depth and body this composition needs.
In a unified mixed pyramid the opening appears as one connected movement with a voluminous floral mood: Frangipani. In this case 1 note sounds as one integrated frame, building the effect of a living bouquet that keeps the opening compact and balanced.
The deeper layers are felt as a continuous motion from lift to depth, which gives the structure continuity.
The olfactory framework is built around these accords: Floral forming a compact and readable structure. The stylistic positioning is feminine, which makes the scent profile easier to read.
From the group perspective the composition is built around Floral and Whiteflower. From a family perspective the fragrance belongs to Floral.
Overall Frangipane sounds complete from start to finish — the first stage creates momentum, the heart develops the core line, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. These are the fragrances best experienced on skin.
