"I was lucky enough to travel from the north to the south of India during a charity race this year and on passing through Mysore, the verses of "If" came to me. It was my grandfather, a great traveller if ever there was one, who introduced me to this poem when I was a child. This lesson that needs to be repeated every day in order to become what we are": David Frossard, artistic director of Parfums Frapin.
