1270 Extrême

somehow i've never tried the original 1270 - but i'd always been curious. When i saw this - and heard it had better performance, it was an immediate buy. I knew at first spray, i'd made a mistake waiting so long to try this line. It's a very deep, boozy version of fruitiness that you dont often smell. Like a plethora of fruits in a punch bowl of cognac and spice. Just really alluring and unique. seems to last a decent amount of time. Overall, i'm really impressed with it - and can see this being one of my favorite - go to scents. 3/18/22 coming back to update as ive had full week of wearing now. The scent really doesnt go through much change - what you smell at first spray is pretty much what you get. It's a deep, sweet, fruity cognac. Performance is medium with about 4 sprays. The note breakdown shown in the fragrantica listing is essentially useless - so i wouldnt take that much into consideration. The best note breakdown i could provide would be Fruit and Booze. With that said, this isn't as heavy and dark as say - john varvatos dark rebel. It's not a light fragrance either - kind of in between. Very nice! 8/10

I just got this in today smells heavenly. I can't describe it I'm still trying to understand the scent profile. However it smells like candy to me I am getting a mix of pineapple and strangely grape? The more I think about it the more it is getting delicious and smells like effervescent of grape soda

This is a beautiful fragrance. It's fruity, sweet, spicy, and woodsy. Very nice pineapple and grape-like scent, sweetened with tonka and warmed with vanilla, draped across a background of woods. Great classy fragrance that I prefer over the original. Full bottle worthy.

Absolutely love it. Fruity with that sweetness from vanilla and tonka coming through. Also get that guaic woods to add a little smokiness. Overall just so amazing, natural and long lasting

Frapin 1270 Extreme is fittingly an amped-up version of the original boozy/fruity/sweet/spicy 1270, a consensus delight except for its performance, and the Extreme flanker is a bit stronger, but in its increased density, loses a little bit of the balance that makes the original so light and easily enjoyable. So Extreme immediately feels like a tradeoff, with increased performance but decreased ease of wearing, and I think that’s a tradeoff that many would opt for, but I’m a bit stuck in the middle. The density of Extreme reminds me of 1 Million or perhaps 1 Million Intense, with a sort of candied musky sweet brightness that, when exaggerated, makes it a bit of a departure from the original. I never regarded the original 1270 as quite full bottle worthy for retail since it was a bit fleeting on my skin and short of magnificent as a scent, and I more or less come to a similar conclusion with Extreme, which, while performing better, has a little less magic to it than the original. Overall, as with the original, though, I quite like it, but don’t quote love it to the point of pursuing a full bottle. Frapin Extreme is sold at boutiques like Luckyscent (where I got my sample) for $190 for 100ml, slightly higher than the $165 pricing for most of the rest of the line. 7 out of 10
