Warm, rich, exotic, intense, spicy dramatic notes, often based on amber, vanilla, incense with florid floral top notes. Fresh, floral, sometimes herbal/mossy scents dominated by leafy, grassy, crisp notes. Lemon, bergamot, neroli, petitgrain, tangerine, grapefruit, cedar, syringe and lime. Reviving and refreshing. Rich, dark, smoky, deep, spicy notes usually intensified or contrasted with green, floral or animalic oils. Bouquets of flowers - tuberose, roses, lily, jasmine, lilac, muguet, ylang-ylang, violets, orange blossom etc. Fresh, sweet, feminine. Mostly florals and greens enlivened with notes of soft sweet fruits - peach, apricot, plum, pineapple, prune, and raspberry. Literally "from Cyprus". Longlasting, warm, mossy, soft dark scents. Very sophisticated, urban, couture and elegant. Usually chypres feature sharp, green top notes which soften to bases of oakmoss, amber, leather, vetiver, patchouli and sandalwood. Full-bodied, green, dark, aromatic notes of cedar, sandal, juniper, birchwood, rosewood, ebony, patchouli, oak-moss, lavender, clary sage. Entirely synthetic and quirky modern sub-group which uses a variety of chemicals (e.g. calene) to  introduce a suggestion of the sea, lakes, rivers and streams to the top and middle notes of a perfume. As innovative and ingenious as the introduction of aldehydes in the early 1920's.

  
Fragrance  << P.Frapin et Cie -  <<   1270

1270   The name used is the date of the Frapins' arrival in Champagne long, long ago: before Crecy, Poitiers, Agincourt; in the days when English kings still laid claim to the throne of France.

1270 is complex, seductive, suitable for both sexes and draws directly on cognac for its harmonies and construction; the top notes are bright with candied orange, nuts, prunes, cocoa and coffee; the piquant heart is a sublime medley of warm vine leaves and flowers, blended with peppers and linden blossom; the base, like that of a superb cognac is honey, vanilla and precious woods. A warm, sensuous perfume; opulent and mysterious.

We find it irresistible - and if you are not a worshipper at the shrine of Bacchus don't be afraid! It is not compulsory to enjoy drinking cognac to be utterly bewitched by 1270.
