Someone tested this one? Does it share the same high quality as rest of the line? I`ve heard that it`s more ordinary than the others..

I really liked it, but I may be more biased than others considering I really love the smell of gin and tonics. I think that's what they're going for with this one, was the smell of a gin and tonic, with some citrus and a woody drydown. I found it lovely, but it's not something that's super dynamic.

I agree with mtxprox05 that it's well made and very pleasant, but it's not anything earth shattering.

Yes, I'm quite impressed by it. It resembles to Esprit de Fleurs, but much more masculin. So far the best Frapin I've come across.

Yes they do. I bought it from them months ago when it first came out. you have to look under men, and then under Frapin. It's in the men's directory.

Hmm.. Strange. On Luckyscent, Caravelle Epicee and Passion Boisee are described as unisex fragrances. On Fragrantica they are classified as male-fragrances..

I think all Frapins are unisex

I tried this one a week ago and liked it very much, but my favorite still is Caravelle Epicee

Obviously, I am in minority here: LHumaniste didnt impressed me at all; or to be perfectly frank, it was a disappointment to me. It didnt bring me anything new or original.
I have and love Caravelle Épicée, Passion Boisée, 1270 and Terre de Sarment. The news about the new Frapins scent really intrigued me. Alas, huge expectations, as a result, have pretty often huge disappointments.
I see Caravelle Épicée, Passion Boisée, 1270 and Terre de Sarment as the unisex scents; Esprit de Fleurs is a bit feminine for my standards; and one of the propaganda logos which follows LHumaniste is Man having his reason; also has his perfume. LHumaniste.
However, I cannot see any good reason why woman wouldnt wear it; of course, if she likes it.

Oh, and LuckyScent still has it
