Borbonese 972 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2024. 972 opens with Sea Water, Grapefruit, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Peony, and Carnation, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes, Sandalwood, and Patchouli. Borbonese's 972 carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a bit of a chameleon, starting fresh and airy before settling into something more grounded. It's a modern, gender-neutral take on a classic vibe, but don't expect it to shout.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Fall

Grapefruit and sea water over a woody chypre base is a warm-weather build - the salty-marine opening is what makes it work in summer, and it carries into spring easily. Patchouli and sandalwood give it enough backbone for a mild autumn day, but the marine accord reads thin and cold in winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Sport

Its fresh, clean opening makes it suitable for casual wear and the office, as it's unlikely to offend. While versatile, its subtle projection means it might get lost in a formal setting, and it's not quite energetic enough for sport.

About

Imagine a brisk walk by the sea, the air zinging with salty freshness and a hint of sharp grapefruit. That initial marine blast is quickly softened by a delicate floral bouquet of jasmine, peony, and a touch of spicy carnation. As it dries down, a comforting blend of woody notes, creamy sandalwood, and earthy patchouli emerges, giving it a sophisticated, grounded finish. It's a subtle shift from bright and oceanic to warm and woody.
