Isle of Man by Frapin is more than just a fragrance—it's an invitation to explore the boundless spirit of adventure. Created for the modern man with a deep sense of freedom and a thirst for discovery, this cologne is a tribute to the legendary Isle of Man, home to one of the world’s most thrilling motorbike races and breathtaking coastal views. From the first spray, you're transported to a world of speed, wind, and endless horizons.
Crafted by perfumer Alienor Massenet, Isle of Man captures the exhilarating rush of open roads and ocean air. It balances rugged masculinity with crisp, invigorating notes that evoke the salty freshness of the sea and the dynamic energy of racing.
Fragrance Notes:
Top Notes: Grapefruit, Bitter Orange, Basil
Middle Notes: Freesia, Black Pepper, Cardamom
Base Notes: Vetiver, Musk, Woodsy Notes
The journey begins with a punchy citrus burst of grapefruit and bitter orange. These vibrant top notes are immediately energizing, like catching the wind in your face as you ride through rugged terrain. A subtle touch of basil adds a green, aromatic twist that keeps things grounded.
As the scent evolves, the heart opens into spicy warmth. Cardamom and black pepper give a bracing edge, while freesia brings in a hint of floral lightness—like the scent of wildflowers carried on the sea breeze. This transition feels effortless, just like the glide of tires hugging a winding mountain road.
In the base, Isle of Man settles into something truly distinctive. Earthy vetiver and soft musks blend with woodsy undertones to provide a lasting finish that’s both masculine and refined. It’s not overpowering, but it lingers—leaving a fresh, clean trail that feels both adventurous and approachable.
Versatility Meets Signature Style
This cologne is built for versatility. Wear it casually during the day for a crisp, revitalizing presence, or use it to complement your nighttime style—it works just as well with a leather jacket as it does with a tailored blazer. It’s bold without being brash, modern without losing its timeless appeal.
Who Is It For?
Isle of Man is made for the man who lives with purpose and passion. Whether he’s racing through life or enjoying the quiet thrill of the open sea, this fragrance matches his energy. If you’re someone who values freedom, elegance, and a bit of edge, this cologne might just become your signature.
Longevity & Sillage
With moderate to strong longevity, Isle of Man offers staying power that can take you from morning to night. The sillage is balanced—not too loud, but strong enough to leave a memorable impression.
Design & Presentation
Like all Frapin fragrances, Isle of Man comes in a refined bottle that speaks of tradition and craftsmanship. The wooden cap nods to the brand’s heritage, while the minimalistic design lets the scent speak for itself.
