Vilhelm Parfumerie 125th & Bloom is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015. 125th & Bloom opens with Angelica and Saffron, settles into a heart of Rose and Violet, and dries down to a base of Ebony and Leather. Vilhelm Parfumerie's 125th & Bloom carries an Acquired verdict, a leather-led wear.

This one is a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect strong opinions, divisive reactions, and a good few people telling you it smells like 'fancy dirt'. It's unapologetically bold, so if you're after subtle, look elsewhere.

About

Opens with an intriguing, slightly herbal kick from angelica and spicy saffron, before settling into a rich, dark floral heart of rose and violet. The main event, though, is the deep, sophisticated leather that underpins everything, intertwined with the earthy depth of ebony, creating an animalic, almost metallic warmth. This isn't your grandma's floral-leather; it's a modern, edgy take.
