The first perfume in the collection was conceived as a tribute to the origins of the Frapin family, who settled in the Charente in 1270. After a long day of cognac tasting, the head of the family Beatrice tried her cognac a different way – she splashed a little on the back of her hand to smell the drink before tasting. So successful, everyone noted the incredible aroma and so the fragrance to honour the Frapin’s family legacy of cognac came to life. This fragrance is a distillation of gourmand pleasures that will turn your skin into a sensuous feast. An ode to the cognac that the Frapin family are world renowned for.

HOW IT WEARS
1270 is an Eau de Parfum which should give you anywhere from 6 – 8 hours worth of longevity on the skin. The rich opening notes of dried fruits, spices & nuttier tones combine effortlessly with the subtle dry down of vineyard blossoms & sweet precious woods, to create a subtle, enduring fragrance that will see you gently through to the end of it’s wear.
LORE LOVES
We love the way 1270 embodies the rich history from which this scent derives it’s name. Like a delicious stroll through the vineyards of olde France with a glass of cognac in hand. It is one of those rare scents that most people are drawn to, a favourite here at Lore for very good reason!

One heck of a wonderfully sweet and smooth scent. Cognac, honey, vanilla, dried fruits and berries will make you smell absolutely delicious.

One if the best smelling fragrances i have ever had my nose on. Dried fruits, pineapple, sweet resins – but the heartbreak is that it is so short-lived on my skin that i needed to spray more than i should. If it lasted a coupke more hours it would be 5 stars

This would be one of the best in this style of that cozy warm rich perfumes. I find it Beautiful boozy syrupy perfume, this is a go to Autumn / Winter scent. Lore trusty perfumery recommendations are so spot on me!

The dried fruit, cocoa, vanilla and pepper notes of this fragrance perfectly complement eachother along with the subtle note of tonka bean. The Lore staff must have showed me 20+ different fragrances the day I bought this and this one stood out above the rest there is just something so divine, heady and alluring about it. I agree with the other feedback here that it’s only detractor is that the sillage is poor (fingers crossed I used that word correctly) meaning it’s projection isn’t great and I find it’s lasting power to be quite limited, I try to overcompensate for both of these issues by just spraying heaps of it but within a couple hours I struggle to detect it anymore. Not great for a long work day then but perfect for meeting up with friends/loved ones or going out . When people get close enough to smell it they will ask what you are wearing. 5 stars despite my issues with it purely because I love the way it smells soooo much.

Gorgeous scent, one of the finest I’ve ever sampled.
Dried fruits, gourmand notes on a bed of woods.
Given it’s composition of notes and it’s eau de parfum concentration it should last much longer than it does, too short lived an experience, if it lasted a few more hours and performed it would be close to perfect.
