What does 1927 smell like?

It opens with bergamot, aldehydes and mandarin orange, giving a fresh, slightly green citrus sparkle. In the heart, violet, mimosa and narcissus lead and the scent turns powdery and creamy. The base of musk, patchouli and vanilla ties it to an earthy, woody and softly sweet chypre character.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it leaves a light but noticeable trail. Voters spread it almost evenly across business, leisure, daily wear and evening. Balmain Ivoire de Balmain and Nicolaï Odalisque have a close profile.
