Special 127

Floris London Special 127 is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1890. Special 127 opens with Lavender, Petitgrain, Bergamot, and Orange, settles into a heart of Rose, Neroli, Geranium, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Patchouli and Musk. Floris London's Special 127 carries a Favourite verdict, a citrus-led wear.

A divisive yet historically significant citrus aromatic. Some find it a timeless, clean barbershop classic, worthy of Churchill. Others detect a dated, overly soapy quality, likening it to bathroom cleaner. It's a love-it-or-hate-it affair, but undeniably carries a certain vintage charm.

Formal

The fresh and clean citrus-aromatic profile makes it excellent for casual wear or sport. Its subtle projection makes it non-offensive for the office, while its classic barbershop vibe offers a touch of formality. It's perhaps too understated for a bold date night scent.

About

Opens with a zesty, invigorating burst of bergamot and orange, sharpened by petitgrain and lavender. The heart unfolds with a floral medley of rose, neroli, and geranium, subtly sweetened by ylang-ylang. It settles into a clean, musky base with a hint of earthy patchouli, retaining a fresh, soapy character throughout. It's a bright, aromatic composition with a distinctly old-world feel.
