1270 - Extrême amplifies the gourmand, liqueur-like side, aiming for a deeper, rounder and more pronounced fragrance, while keeping the elegance tied to the world of cognac.

From the opening, you feel a rich, almost syrupy sweetness, with a more pronounced boozy facet, like a more concentrated cognac. The effect is immediate, warm, almost opulent, with a gourmand feel that draws you in without hesitation. Then the fragrance moves into an even denser, more cocooning texture, where the gourmand side becomes creamier and more intense.

Over time, 1270 Extrême settles into a darker, deeper base. The amber notes take on a more powerful dimension, with a lasting warmth and a highly addictive signature. The base is rich, sensual and pronounced, with a stronger presence than the original.

P. Frapin & Cie is a French family house that has been based in Charente since 1270, with winegrowing passed down from father to son for twenty-one generations. Its 240-hectare estate lies at the heart of Grande Champagne, the Premier Cru of Cognac, where limestone soils and a unique micro-terroir give the eaux-de-vie their distinctive depth. Frapin brought this same respect for the land and for time to perfume from 2004. The family tree holds a surprise: François Rabelais, one of the great humanists of the French Renaissance, was the nephew of Anne-Catherine Frapin. The quill on the house's logo is a tribute to him. Later, Louis XIV had a coat of arms presented to his apothecary, Pierre Frapin. Clearly, this house carries something that goes beyond simple artisanal production. Its perfumes are stories. 1270 pays tribute to the family's arrival in Charente and to Folle Blanche, a legendary grape variety now lost, whose scents of grapes, burnt vine shoots and candied fruit bring its memory back to life. 1270 Extrême takes this logic further with notes of honey, pineapple and tonka bean. L’humaniste summons the spirit of Rabelais, his curiosity and his tolerance. Each bottle is a fresco of Charente, an era, a character, a noble material brought to the stage with the same patience that governs the ageing of cognacs in century-old cellars.
