Floris London 1927 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018. 1927 opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, and Aldehydes, settles into a heart of Violet, Mimosa, and Narcissus, and dries down to a base of Musk, Patchouli, and Vanilla. Floris London's 1927 carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

This isn't your grandad's 1920s scent, despite the name. It's a modern, vibrant floral that's either a love-it or a 'marmite' scent for some due to its distinct, powdery floral character.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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 Fall

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

While quite potent, its elegant floral and powdery profile makes it suitable for formal settings and a sophisticated date. It might be a bit much for casual wear, and its intensity means a lighter hand for the office.

About

Opens with a bright, effervescent burst of aldehydes, bergamot, and mandarin, like a fizzy drink. This quickly mellows into a rich heart of powdery violet, mimosa, and narcissus, giving a luxurious, almost vintage-cosmetic feel. The dry down is a smooth, comforting blend of vanilla, patchouli, and clean musk, adding depth without heaviness. It's an experience of evolving florals, from bright and juicy to soft and enveloping.
