Reviews of Frapin 1270
by Frapin

I’m afraid that Asha’s disappointment with Frapin 1270 is just as grave as mine. This had massive potential to be full-bottle worthy but didn’t really perform as well as expected. The notes are all there, sure, but its development is muddled and confusing, and the tart candy note never completely goes away – the whole gourmand theme overwhelms when, instead, it should have been just a facet.

Originally, I could sense great potential in this (particularly as a boozy version of Arabie with different twists and turns) but its execution and moderate longevity prevents it from scaling such heights.

I will certainly give Frapin 1270 another try in a few months but, while not wanting to completely dispute those who have posted positive reviews, I feel its fate may have simply fallen victim to that dirty word or taboo: ‘reformulation’.

Not a bad scent, but something just doesn't catch me. The initial blast is quite nice, rich brown liquor and dried fruits, but then all I smell is very ripe plums. I agree with Asha. There are some really interesting notes underneath. Wood, leather, caramel to me. However, that fruitiness just covers them up. I think this is much better for a woman. If those hiding scents would come out more, I'd be more likely to purchase a bottle.
