Special No. 127 Eau de Toilette
Floris London · £125
Worth being NRY provisional
Bergamot and orange over lavender and geranium, finished with patchouli and musk. Special No. 127 was made to a private commission in 1890 and is still in the range, which tells you more about whether a fragrance works than any note list does. £125 for the oldest continuously made thing in this category.
- For
- Someone who wants a classic cologne structure and does not care that it is not new.
- Not for
- Anyone wanting something contemporary, because this smells of the century it was made in.
What we checked
- It blends bergamot, orange and petitgrain over lavender and geranium, with patchouli and musk beneath. Floris London
