Ultravocal with Franketienne

“Si tu veux vraiment mourir, commence par te taire. Mais si tu veux vivre, parle, parle plus fort que le fracas de ton corps.”

“If you really want to die, start by being silent. But if you want to live, speak, speak louder than the thunder of your bones.”

Imagine the ideal setting for a meeting with Franketienne. We meet him in a lakou, in the mountains of Fort Jacques, eating coconut meat straight from the husks. Within seconds of lighting this inspired candle, you inhale the top notes of this original scent: Citrus, Palm, Coriander, Sea Salt, Orange Peel, and Grass. You talk to Franketienne about La Spirale, how to dare for your cause, the egos of powerful men, and creating art with the spirits of Ginen.

You sit on the ground, at the feet of his ti chèz ba, and feel connected to the core the island’s magic, as you’re enveloped in the sunset smell tapestry of Haiti. The base notes of Teakwood, Sea Salt, Amber, Dark Musk, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Moss are reminiscent of the mountains which completely surround the island, a persistent and comforting shadow.

It doesn’t take long until Franketienne starts humming an ancient tune, while lighting a fire, before regaling you with old forgotten Haitian tales, that pull you into the magic of timelessness.
