   |  I'm with several others and can't find the appeal. It's not BAD, by any means, but it just never really rises to anything distinctive. There's a LOT going on in this scent, but the mass of notes seems to me to blend together into something rather dull and flat, much in the same way mixing fifty different colors together will give a dull shade of brown, or fifty different sounds will give a single dull tone. Each of the notes, individually, might be something nice, but a little goes a long way and more isn't always better. 24 November 2007 |
   | Pleasantly green and citrusy, but unfortunately quite artificial smelling. It also has ginger, and I'm a sucker for ginger so that's what saves it for me. 20 June 2007 |
 | I can't find the love. It smells good, is headed in the right direction, but lacks in both quality of raw materials and blending. It develops, but the main accord just sits on the skin never doing much. Either way, I'm sure many would like it. It's clean, fairly intriguing, and somewhat wearable. My recent application of the amazing Nino Cerruti Pour Homme provides a powerful dynamic, and further clarifies my disappointment in Frank #1. 12 May 2007 |
 |  It's hard to describe Frank No. 1. It's very soapy and clean smelling, similar to the Gendarme line, but it's balanced by the addition of grapefruit and some spices. It's nice. Unfortunately, scents like this always disappear on my skin. But, if you want something extremely subtle, I'd give it a try.04 November 2006 |
 | Wonderfully structured and truly elegant, Frank comes across with a captivating presence. I’m not sure which is more successful, its beautifully balanced accords or its almost translucent ambiance—both are extraordinary. It is brightly fresh with its grapefruit, ginger root and green tea; and lightly spiced with its cassis, clove, and angelic seed. Its accords are elegantly seamless, unrippled, and rich. It has green freshness as well as a surprising depth. Its long lasting dry down of clove / sandalwood gives the feeling of being a nutmeg accord. Totally masculine but, because of its subtlety, Frank could easily be worn by a woman with no threat to her femininity. I am highly, highly impressed. 29 October 2006 |
 | Outstanding scent that is very quiet and well made. It has a nice non sharp citrus edge at the top and the sweet spice and florals mark the middle. There isn't a dominant note in this scent. All of the scents seem there solely to compliment each other. Excellent scent and one that should get more attention. 04 June 2006 |
