Reviews of Frapin 1270
by Frapin

I like this, smells sweet like candy and not so boozy to me. Anyway thumbs up for women, only for men that like the sweetest scents.

Sweet, tangy, delicious ... but 1270's $$$ thwarts any temptation to own this vapor that puts a virtual Gewürtraminer aftertaste in the back of my throat. This is a quality scent, don't get me wrong, but it's not radically superior to or different from affordable offerings like Chopard Mira Baï or even Britney Spears Believe. (Yes, yes, I realize what I just said.)

Nice spicy apple accord in the opening, (smells like a proper Calvados) and then more fruits will follow, candied and dried. Serge Lutens, anyone?
Heart of this fragrance smells very plummy to me, make it with the flower, pulp, prune pit and all....drenched in sugar.
Unisex, but by the sweet exotic floral-fruity charachter more suitable for women.

My favorite honey scent, and one of my top boozy scents also. This is a grown-up gourmand, with a honey-centric aesthetic, sweet plump raisins, cognac, woods and a peep of vanilla threading in and out. It lasts and lasts. I have a few samples from Luckyscent, and they're very potent--just a few drops and I'm set for several hours. Luscious and rather decadent. Like a flourless chocolate cake--a little too rich for everyday, and a little too heavy for summer, but a potent treat for occasional indulgence!

Where's the French court painter when you need him? This is a decadently Bourbon banquet of brandy soaked fruit, nuts, honey and wine.

The table is groaning as this gorgeous gourmand weighs it down. Before too long, though, the fruit-laden opening slowly winds down and a gentle after dinner glow commences, with vanilla and honey and coffee for all.

The drydown separates this heavenly fragrance into two distinct parts: a) the ebullient gourmand laughing and eating having a good time and b) the sophisticated gastronome smiling shyly after what can only be described as one hell of a feast.

This is the first Frapin frag I've tried to date, and now I can't wait to sample the others.

The beginning of this wonderful fragrance is a beautiful, smooth, rich, boozy, woodnote and leather accord so rich and spicy that it projects almost an incense note. The opening includes the restrained sweetness of dried fruits that reminds me a bit of the fruit notes in Arabie, but more subtle – more refined – less dramatic - more wearable. Those fruit join the leather to provide an ultra smooth texture to all the accords of the 1270. Besides the fruit, I don’t get much of the other sweetness mentioned by other reviewers – particularly the honey and vanilla: I’m not complaining, I’m completely happy with the dry, smooth woods, the dried fruit, and the leather – they’re perfect. The fragrance exhibits a strong sillage and it has impressive longevity. Definitely unisex. This is one superior fragrance.

Berry and plum compote drizzled with honey followed by a few sniffs and sips of brandy! A tinge of leather, vanilla and wood rounds out this upscale gourmand. I agree with all the previous commentaries and find ROBYOGI's to be most accurate. Heavy, different, intoxicating!

This ends much more woody on me than leathery, which is a shame, as I'm looking for a nice buttery leather scent. Still, a fragrance of amazing character and complexity, mature in that black-tie, classy, sexy way that's more James Bond or Frank Sinatra than mature as in your folks. Well worth a look in for someone looking for a gourmand-type that still somehow smells black tie.

A boozy, almost wine-like (makes sense, huh?) scent with a sweet, warm, smooth drydown of vanilla, woods, and a suede-like leather. I like 1270, but something about it, maybe the over-ripe fruit, makes it lean a tad to the feminine side, sort of the way the plum note in 10 Corso Como shifts that one from the truly unisex column for me. Frapin 1270 is definitely interesting, unique, and multi-faceted, and well worth checking out if you like sweet, boozy, quasi-foody scents. The woodsiness and suede notes keep it from being too sweet or flubby, and make it a wearable and comforting scent. Pretty good, maybe just not for me.

This is my ultimate fall fragrance. I was looking for something with a honey note, and ordered quite a few samples from LuckyScent that featured honey. This one is the winner! Honey, but not girly sweet, this has rich golden honey, sexed up with warm notes of grapes turing into raisins in the sun, spices, cognac, oak and leather. And I love that this lasts on the skin most of the day and goes through several distinct stages, never boring and all parts are fantastic. I'd give it two thumbs up if I could.

This is Wheee !!! such a great foody figgy bit of folly with VSOP cognac undertones,Dare I say foody but not in a bad way -
much more sophisticated than a Comme des garcons "foody" scent like that sweet
series. Vanilla, figs soaked in brandy ,
nutty , orange bits , delicate and sensual honey , perhaps a whiff of grapes from a French vineyard - FABULOUS-NESS !!!!!
A comfort and true feeling of luxury is
about me when I wear this ! Extremely
rich and heart felt work of liquid art.
Exotic, unique , addictive. It slaps
a hum-drum typical Dept. store scent
line up in the face without mercy !

A surprisingly boozey blend of exotic woods, spice, raisin, vine flowers, pepper, candied orange, nut, hazelnut, prune, cocoa, coffee, leather, woods, white honey, vanilla. Starts out rich and sweet but then mellows into a slightly floral note set against a buttery leather. Wonderful stuff and quite unique. Not for those looking for clean or light scents!
