FLORIS LONDON 1927 EDP 100 ml A dive into the roaring 20s. The geometries and inlays of the Art Deco style adorn the silk tapestries of the cafés of Montmartre. Young girls stroll through the streets of Paris sporting short à la garconne hair and linger dreamily in front of the windows of the most popular designer of the moment, Coco Chanel. The Cotton Club in Harlem, New York is packed with spectators enveloped in thick clouds of smoke, Duke Elligton's Jam session is about to begin. Jazz is in its infancy, the syncopated sound of piano and saxophone improvisations is preparing to change the history of music forever. In London, the West End ballrooms are teeming with couples dancing to the rhythm of Swing and the Charleston. Rivers of champagne flow in crystal glasses. Multi-strand pearl necklaces encircle the necks of the ladies, feathers and sequins embellish the cocktail dresses. The men wear morning suits and seem to have stepped out of Francis Scott Fitzgerald's masterpiece, The Great Gatsby. The 20s are a "golden age" nestled between the two World Wars, a decade dominated by hedonism, the desire to live and faith in the future. Floris celebrates the roaring twenties with 1927, a unisex Eau de Parfum with an eclectic and original flavour, which continues the story begun with The Fragrance Journals, the collection of three exclusive fragrances that immortalise the heart and soul of the city of London in key moments of its history. 1927 revives the festive bohemian atmospheres of London cocktail parties in the early twentieth century thanks to its seductive yet sophisticated character and pays homage to a group of British artists known as the Bright Young Things who, while distancing themselves from the nonconformist and frivolous excesses, were able to fully embody the spirit of the times of those years. The fragrance opens with bright citrus notes of bergamot supported by a light touch of mandarin, masterfully balanced by voluptuous aldehyde tones. This fresh debut leaves room for a sensual heart dominated by narcissus, which gives the characteristic warm and softly powdery scent. Notes of violet and ylang ylang add depth and complexity to the fragrance, while mimosa gives an eccentric and surprising connotation, very original. The base notes are an intense and persistent combination of musk and patchouli, enriched by an opulent trail of sweet vanilla. Olfactory family: Floral aldehyde Top notes: bergamot, aldehydic notes, mandarin. Heart notes: mimosa, violet, narcissus, ylang ylang. Base notes: musk, patchouli, vanilla. EDP 100 ml
