Terre de Sarment

A classy, uplifting aromatic gourmand fragrance that does not overpower. The impression it gives you is of waking up to a sunny morning in some Mediterranean island villa. The perfume opens with citrusy notes of grapefruit, grapes, neroli and caraway. It moves into a more spicier base of cinnamon, nutmeg, amyris and orange blossoms. Finally it settles into a nice spicy powdery base of frankincense, myrrh and benzoin. A bit masculine leaning with moderate sillage/projection and longevity, this is lovely understated slow burn of a perfume. Enjoy!

In contrast to the many lackluster reviews, the perfumer hit my sweet spot dead center with this one. I knew I'd purchase a fb long before the dry down. I appreciate it to the degree that I don't wear it on my wrists in public to avoid constantly sniffing myself. But privately!....I repeatedly, deeply inhale this amazing creation (for the head rush) well into its final stage. Mood altering in a very good way. Thank you, J Faugier!

I love this. I sprayed some out of the little sample vial I bought and was quickly looking for the price of regular bottles. I'm a huge fan of nutmeg in perfumes and this one really has it. The only downside for me is that although it gushes forth a good 2 1/2 hours, it suddenly disappears at the 4th hour. It's just gone. I wish it had left more gradually.

Very beautiful! I find it quite feminine and it reminds me very much of the middle of Valentina Assoluto minus the fabric softener finish. Not overly spicy, I get more of the creamy orange blossom and a bit of the incense... not much of the spices at all. Quite linear and wears close to the body, but a very nice fragrance.

This is an incredible bright woody fragrance. It's very unique and smells nothing like anything else in my collection. It's slightly on the masculine side of unisex, so for the bolder woman. The projection is good but the longevity is excellent. This has been my go to summer frag for 2012!

Every time I wear it, I get compliments. I get good longevity and projection from this one...This is actually a very good ,,Excellent! Different, exotic and top quality. very good

Terre de Sarment comes from Frapin, a house I mainly associate with good quality cognac, and while the scent itself is quite likeable, the performance leaves something to be desired. This is a smooth, sweet-spicy aromatic amber that feels unisex but leans slightly masculine and works best in warm weather and daytime settings. It’s well blended, pleasantly linear, and never overly sweet — just balanced and easygoing. The grape note is the star here, and surprisingly, it lasts for the entire wear. The spices, however, are very soft and restrained, almost too subdued for my taste. It does have a boozy quality and together with the grapes and spiced it feels to me like a nod to the cognac region with its grapevine yards and temperate climate. Performance is moderate overall, but it sits close to the skin for most of its life. Pleasant, polished, but ultimately a bit too gentle and modest for my liking.

Great fragrance! So, as someone mentioned, this opens with a very potent fabric softer vibe that sticks around for the duration of the fragrance. Cinnamon and nutmeg are present, woods, and incense are there as well. Overall, a great fragrance; needs more sillage, more projection after an hour-projects well once sprayed. Unisex, however, with the barometer leaning towards the masculine side of things. It is very different, unlike anything else in my wardrobe and probably yours also!! This is definitely worth a sample, even a bottle. Work, office, date-night, grocery store, not the kind of fragrance where one has to worry about offending. Try it!! This is very similar to 1697!...from the a boozy standpoint.

This is a very pleasant perfume. It ́s kind of slowstarter and very comforting. As F_A I detect a note of some kind of nettle in it, very green but in a light and subtle way. It warms up very slow, but all the time I find it to be a perfect perfume for spring, the time of spring when only the earliest flowers bloom, and you can see the first butterflies... Sensual, laidback and softspoken. This is very unique but in a quiet way. Would be excellent on men to. Recommend you to try this one, maybe not a super wow favourite at once, but you might like it more than you think from the beginning. In the top among perfumes that are very personal but still not make a lot of noise.

Leans a little more masculine than feminine on my skin, but I'm not deterred. I pick up benzoin, lemon, incense and the spices; myrrh, cinnamon and caraway, but none of the florals or grape scent. For me this is easy to wear, and I'm looking forward to trying it in warmer weather. Not much projection but it lasts more than 10 hours on my skin. Worth checking out if you like dry, natural scents. EDIT: love wearing this in Spring weather, its a beautiful aromatic and nothing in my collection comes close. I find it more unisex now. I don't throw the word original around, but that's just what TdS feels like. I adore this composition.

While this is too fruity for my liking, with a strong grape opening and the sweet orange blossom middle note, there is a bit going on that I really appreciate. The first time I wore it, it ended up spicy and resiny but the next time was quite different: the top notes linger, most of all the caraway, and once it loses the stronger aromatic notes the dry down makes it smell like buttery pastry - like having a fresh fruit danish in front of you. I am fast thinking that Frapins are their best at the dry down.

I like the scent but I don't like its performance. This is a nice unisex, linear and pleasant scent for warm weather, daytime. Performance is moderate overall but it stays close to the skin most of its life. It is a smooth, spicy, sweet scent very well blended. Not overly sweet, just as it should be. Dominant notes are benzoin, a green note, sweet grapes, caraway, nutmeg and soft incense/myrrh. Beautiful blend but not for me.

I find Terre de sarment as a solifloral fragrance. Why, you would ask. On my skin, it smells like the blossoms of White dead nettle from the beginning to the very base! For those who doesn't know how this plant smells like, it has the flowery scent of sweet honey with some powdery notes. Very specific and extremely pleasant:) A must try!

Reminds me of less intense Terra Mia by Carthusia. Interesting and evocative but Terra Mia offered clearer view. This is subtle in comparison.

Today’s review focuses on a fragrance that shifts away from the effervescent cocktail styles of the house and dives deeply into a warm, atmospheric, and highly narrative aesthetic, serving as a continuation of my exploration of the house of Frapin: Terre de Sarment. Translated as the land of vine branches, this composition draws direct inspiration from the rich winemaking heritage of the family estate, aiming to capture the sensory experience of the golden hour sweeping over a French vineyard. The intricate note profile for this release suggests an incredibly sophisticated and comforting autumnal journey, promising a highly unique juxtaposition of sweet wine grapes and sharp caraway against a dense, deeply resinous core of warm spices, benzoin, and mystical incense. This creation showcases the house applying their technical blending expertise to celebrate the raw, natural terroir of their homeland, utilizing thick, balsamic raw materials to deliver an old world warmth that heavily favors atmospheric depth over mainstream sugary sweetness. Approaching a fragrance that sits as a quiet, relatively untalked about hidden gem within the brand portfolio, the question remains whether Terre de Sarment can deliver the transportive realism and exceptional blending required to stand out as a cold weather staple, or if its complex arrangement of fruits and heavy resins will feel muddy on skin. Let’s see if this fragrance stands as a gorgeous, comforting masterpiece of independent liquid art or if it is simply an over-engineered concept. Opening: The opening is fruity, spicy, and balsamic. The primary notes I get are grapes, caraway, nutmeg, and benzoin, with the grapes and caraway leading the introduction. The grapes confidently take the lead in the opening as a distinct, beautifully realized fruity and sweet accord, naturally different than any other fruit note I have ever encountered in a fragrance. They don't read as wine specifically, but of grapes still on the vine, and I believe that's the point. The caraway joins the grape at the top as a dry and slightly savory seed like spiciness. I have often heard this specific note compared directly to the distinct aroma of rye bread, and I can easily pick up on clear hints of that texture here. The nutmeg works as a vital supporting note of warm spiciness, blending seamlessly with the caraway to drive home the unapologetically spicy nature of the opening minutes. Lastly, the benzoin wraps the opening in a beautifully glowing and resinous balsamic accord, assisted in part by the accompanying myrrh and amyris lingering beneath. The result is an opening that delivers a truly unique, highly texturized fruity and spicy introduction. Dry Down The dry down transitions into a balsamic, spicy, and sweet experience. The primary notes I get are benzoin, nutmeg, myrrh, and caraway, with the benzoin and nutmeg leading the composition. Structurally, the benzoin has moved definitively into the spotlight as the central main note, establishing a much denser and more potent balsamic and sweet accord on skin. The nutmeg has also noticeably increased in overall strength to sit proudly alongside the benzoin, providing a much larger, dustier dose of its signature warm spiciness. The myrrh has officially emerged as a prominent supporting note in the dry down, layering in more balsamic tones but with a noticeably deeper, darker, and more resinous accord. Lastly, the caraway remains present in the background, providing gentle, persistent puffs of that bready spiciness from the opening hours. The result is a dry down that completely steps away from the initial fruity sweetness of the grape, choosing instead to lean heavily into a much deeper, more atmospheric resinous tone. Performance The initial projection within the first hour of wear is moderate, hovering consistently around four to five feet. The sillage matches that range, casting a trailing scent trail that is completely noticeable to others but remains strictly controlled and polite. After about three to four hours on skin, the projection draws in further to sit right around arm's length, and the scent trail lightens up significantly until it is only faintly noticeable. The fragrance officially becomes a true skin scent around this same milestone, demonstrating a disappointingly mediocre performance level that stops short of expectations for such a deep profile. When to Wear Terre de Sarment is a fall and winter fragrance that is highly versatile, proving completely suitable for both daytime and evening wear. Its structural core is entirely anchored by warm, balsamic resins, making it a stellar, sophisticated pick for after hours gatherings, but the juicy sweetness of the grapes and the fresh spiciness of the caraway ensure it possesses enough brightness for wearing under the autumn sun as well. This is a profile that leans naturally towards casual luxury special occasion wear, but it functions just as beautifully as a cozy, comforting choice for relaxed days at home. However, I would avoid selecting it for high level formal events or professional office environments where its unique spice profile might feel out of place. Blind Buy I would not consider Terre de Sarment to be a safe blind buy, although this warning is not for the reason you might initially assume. The prominent grape note is certainly a novel and uncommon inclusion, but it is not a challenging or abrasive element by its own right. The truly polarizing side of this fragrance comes directly from the heavy caraway note. I find that this element works exceptionally well in dry juxtaposition with the sweet grapes and rich resins, but that highly specific, savory, bready spice accord will definitely not resonate with everyone's personal tastes. In addition to that risk, the subdued, quieter performance level of the composition will certainly be a major mark against it for many collectors. Sampling is completely essential before pursuing a full bottle. Final Verdict Experiencing the concept behind Terre de Sarment reveals something extraordinary. It takes the abstract idea of a sun drenched vineyard aroma and runs with it wholeheartedly, while crucially sidestepping the trap of becoming a pure, unwearable novelty. The intelligent blend of harvest grapes, old world spices, and thick resins tells a beautifully cohesive, highly wearable olfactory story on skin. However, as incredible as a fragrance might smell, or regardless of how accurately it captures its intended inspiration, an artistic fragrance creation is ultimately only as good as the actual length of time I can smell it. From the very first application, I could immediately tell that this formulation was going to be underwhelming in its technical strength, and encountering such a rich, gorgeous note profile with this kind of fleeting life span is truly disappointing. For this explicit reason, I will be passing on purchasing a full bottle. Scent: 7/10 Longevity: 5/10 Sillage: 4/10 Versatility: Average Compliment Factor: Average Gender: Unisex Value: Overpriced

Olfactory pyramid from Frapin website: Top: Grapefruit, Neroli, Cumin Heart: Incense, Nutmeg, Orange blossom, Cinnamon Base: Benzoin absolute, Amyris, Vanilla, Tobacco I like Frapin. And TDS wasn't bad at all untill vanilla came out of the shade. The base mix is far from good for my nose. Vanilla feels pretty overwhelming. I had mostly benzoin vanilla with a little hint of a tobacco. Or maybe I just wished tobacco was there, who knows.

More of an aromatic spicy than anything. I have never smelled grapes in a scent but the note lasts the duration of the scent. All the spicy notes are so tamed and light that it does no justice here. The pyramid looks great but that's about it.

The notes looked good but the smell is aweful. Opens up with a fruity ambery note, dries down to a weird ambery, churchy resinous scent with spices in the back. Really strange scent and I dont like it.
