1697 by Frapin retails for $195 for 100ml
Name of this fragrance (1697) is connected with a year very significant
for Frapin. The Frapin family received the coat of arms by Louis
the Fifteenth that year.
Top notes offer the intoxicating bohemian game of notes that accentuates
resins, spices and rum. Rum absolute from Jamaica is combined with dark rum,
labdanum and pink pepper, touched with davana accords.
A heart highlights floral notes decorated with spices. Sambac jasmine,
hawthorn and ylang ylang are combined with a mixture of fine spices cloves and
Ceylon cinnamon. The scent of dried fruit embraced with a veil of rose essences
inflames the imagination.
Base notes are warm, comfortable and very casual. Amber, tonka, vanilla,
cedar, labdanum, patchouli and white musk leave a perfect trail on the skin and
give a hot and more sensual sound to the whole composition
The opening is a very real smelling sweet rum with lots of spice and dried fruit. The vanilla is very much like a vanilla extract with that alcohol boozy note. The cinnamon was pretty noticeable
Now after an hour and a half
The booziness is less but still there. The cinnamon is a lot more prominent with the pepper making it hot and spicy. I am still getting some of the fruityness too.
The order that is ranked on fragrantica makes perfect sense to me.
Still undecided if I would buy it but I don't think I would. Strong cinnamon often gives me a headache.
