But the deluge of all 4 at the same time makes me not want to try any of them. Too much work. My nose is getting lazy.

I'm sure I've tried it. I do like the 1270 bottle better than these. I'm trying to remember 1270 but I can't. I'm sure I've tried it. I do like the 1270 bottle better than these.

But in any case, Caravelle Epicee definitely piques my interest. Way too many new launches to sample, one after another after another! Sigh. Passion Boisee doesn't sound bad either, but that copy just makes me want to rebel and "hobnob" in a lawn chair while sipping cheap beer and gossiping about B-list celebrities. Is it also suitable for *that*?

They seem watery to me, compared with Frapin 1270's depth and richness. Not very long lasting for me, either. I thought they'd be great for Fall, but they're just not that memorable. just got samples of the Boisee and the Epicee and was mightly disappointed by both.

I think it has to do w/ the fact that I seriously distrust multiple releases. Anyway, was very pleasantly surprised by the woods one. I may need a bottle of it. The opening didn't do much for me, but the dry down had me resniffing my wrist all afternoon. The spice one was enjoyable as well, but not more than decant worthy for me.
