Caravelle Epicee
Eau de Parfum
by Frapin



The Scoop
An irresistible ambery brew. Caravelle Epicée takes its name from the spice ships of long ago, but there is nothing remotely aquatic or damp here. This is heat and spice -- the dry interplay of pepper and coriander, nutmeg and tobacco, patchouli and precious sandalwood. Each one stepping forward and then receding as if you were being carried in a palanquin through an ancient market, passing the stalls of the spice vendors. Outside, there is chaos and danger and noise, but in your silk swathed cocoon of well-worn wood, none of it touches you. Safe and cozy, you move effortlessly though the whirlwind, the waves of exotic aromas washing over you in a dreamy haze, as the blazing sun warms you. A rich-as-cashmere comfort scent with an unpredictable streak that keeps it playful and seductive. We try not to play favorites, but this is our pick of the line.

Like another reviewer, I find a similarity with 10 Corso Como and this one. In fact, I think I like it more than 10CC because it's louder and with more sillage. Full of spices with just a touch of amber to bind them together. I like it a lot but not enough to buy a FB right now.

A great woody-oriental. 'Coriander, nutmeg, hot pepper, pepper, thyme, Gaiac wood, patchouli, amber, tobacco, sandalwood' - Lucky Scent I would add also Cedarwood, Myrrh, and Tonka to that list. I would also add Cumin. I'd describe it as "Aromatic Dry Spices layered on Precious Woods", "Oriental Woody", and "Fabulous"! A very beautiful base of creamy pacthouli/sandalwood and is brimming with irresistible spice and Cedar notes. I bought a full bottle and am tempted to overspray. But it's rich and feels like a concentree - there's no need for more than 2 spritzes. Great sillage and longevity too! I get a beautiful honeyed sandalwood and amber in the drydown. I love it on its own and give it 5 stars, but I also love to layer it with Montale Patchouli Leaves in order to get an Earth-woody-oriental-mideastern thing going...!

I believe this is one of those few scents that you will continue to explore every time you wear it. It is an amazing contradiction of spicy yet balsamic, of sweet yet tangy, of fresh yet woody, of seductively feminine yet grounding and masculine. It truly is wearable by both sexes. An olfactory work of art.

I am getting the coriander and a bright fir forest kind of woodsiness, with a shade of medicinal tang. Too oriental for my tastes, but might be lovely on others. Complex and lasting.

Beautiful, accurate description by Lucky Scent. Warm, wonderful spices and amber. This is too strong and masculine for my personal taste, though I can't help but appreciate its rich, lovely construction. Beautiful dry-down. Trying in on my hubby : )

It's snowing outside, cold blowing wind, just really nasty. This perfume is just the thing to make me feel warm and happy. Lovely exotic spices, not sweet. Very refined. I love it! May need more than just the little sample....

I ordered a slew of samples and this one may be my favorite. Like other reviewers have commented, this is warm, amber-y, spicy. No icky sweetness or baby-soft powder dry-down. I love complex Oriental scents and this one fits the bill. Perfect winter scent.

I just recently tried a sample of FCE and I instantly fell in love. Kind of warm with a fresh twist, may I suggest to the previous reviewer not to apply to heavy,if you love your fragrance strong spray lightly but more often.

Why oh why must all Frapin fragrances turn to hot plastic nastiness on me? I love you Frapin, I really do. I just can't make it through the plastic phase.

I love love love this scent! It's warm and spicy but never bracing or obvious. My wacko chemistry turns many scents into icky sweet monstrosities so it is nice that this works. I may have to buy this one.

If you like L'Artisan's Safran Troublant and PG's Cadjmere, then you will love this one. It's warm, spicy and woody. Very nice.

A kissing cousin to Corso Como in my humble opinion. Since I like Corso Como I naturally like Caravelle Epicee. It has sharp wood and spice notes that need that requsite working body chemistry to make one happy. If you gravitate towards soft florals, this is NOT for you.

Just wonderful. The blend of spices, not too sweet, not too strong, the harmony of this is amazing. Never sharp, it's a delight in the bottle and from the time it hit my skin to hours later when the drydown was perfect for bedtime. I'd buy all of them if I could, but if I had to choose just one, this is the one I'd buy.
