1270 - Extreme amplifies the gourmet and liqueur-like aspect, with a desire to create a deeper, more enveloping and more distinctive fragrance, while retaining the elegance associated with the world of cognac.From the opening, one senses a rich and almost syrupy sweetness, with a more pronounced alcoholic facet, like a more concentrated cognac. The effect is immediate, warm, almost opulent, with an unreservedly attractive gourmand sensation. Then, the fragrance evolves towards an even denser and more enveloping texture, where the gourmandise becomes creamier and more intense.Over time, 1270 Extrême settles into a darker and deeper base. The amber notes take on a more powerful dimension, with a persistent warmth and a very addictive signature. The base is rich, sensual and distinctive, with a stronger presence than the original.

P. Frapin & Cie is a French family house based in Charente since 1270, winemakers from father to son for twenty-one generations. Its 240-hectare estate stretches across the heart of Grande Champagne, Premier Cru du Cognac, where the chalky soils and micro-terroir give the brandies their singular depth. This same demanding approach to land and time was brought by Frapin to perfumery starting in 2004. The family's genealogical tree holds a surprise: François Rabelais, one of the great humanists of the French Renaissance, was Anne-Catherine Frapin's nephew. The quill on the house's logo is a tribute to him. Later, Louis XIV presented a coat of arms to his apothecary, Pierre Frapin. This demonstrates that this house embodies something beyond simple artisanal production. Its perfumes are stories. 1270 pays tribute to the family's establishment in Charente and to Folle Blanche, a mythical grape variety now extinct, whose scents of grape, burnt vine shoots, and candied fruits revive its memory. 1270 Extrême pushes this logic with notes of honey, pineapple, and tonka bean. L'Humaniste evokes the spirit of Rabelais, his curiosity and tolerance. Each bottle is a Charente fresco, an era, a character, a noble material staged with the same patience as that which presides over the aging of cognacs in the century-old cellars.
