Can anyone confirm if Frapin 1697 comes in extrait form, and if so, does it differ much from the regular Frapin 1697?

Many thanks.....

the extent of my involvement with it is, it comes in the absolu format which COULD be considered extrait I suppose. i understand the differences are significant.

I think the limited edition release was more concentrated than the current release.

Now it's part of the regular line in EDP concentration, 100ml bottle.

So far it's more expensive than the rest of the line (140€ vs 96€)

Yes he is, the limited edition is more concentrated and there was only 1697 ever made. I was recently tolled that they since have added it to their line. So I did a bit of research to see whats the difference and that was one of them other then the obvious bottle design.

Do you mean they have added the more concentrated version to the regular line?

No he means that the regular line 1697 is less concentrated than the initial limited edition launch.

I have the Absolu version and while it lacks in the sillage department, it has very good longevity. I've smelt the EDP in the regular lineup and it smells the same. They just lowered the concentration from 14 to 12 I believe and it has better sillage and more jus and...well you get it.
