1927 Combinations

1927 seems to be, for once, not a year but the sum of the fragrance note combinations that this extraordinary perfume takes on during wear.
From green-earthy to sweet-powdery, back to green, now fresh, then spicy, then floral, and it continues like this for quite a while.
I can't believe it, it's a permanent game between 2 fragrance notes, then a turnaround and suddenly a new combo.
Moss, flower, Aunt Frieda, powder, I'm going crazy, it's different again, I waver between like and dislike.
I've never encountered anything like this before.
When I look at the fragrance type pie chart of the community, I have to smile; that's the statistical proof.
Ultimately, on a cold autumn day, something floral-creamy has remained for me; it would be interesting to see how it would be in summer.
I'll put you on my watchlist and keep an eye on you.

Why is it called 1927?

Uncommented Fragrances No. 138

Usually, one writes a comment when one is enthusiastic. I’m no different. Critiques are rarer. I usually don’t enjoy them. Even rarer, or never, does one write comments about something, or a fragrance, when one is puzzled. I certainly never do. Nevertheless, I decided to do so here.

The fragrance actually fits quite well into various of my categories (yes, yes, I have interests beyond lavender and colognes): It contains aldehydes (I’m currently testing everything that contains aldehydes), it contains daffodil (which I simply like a lot), it contains violet (they look cute and smell very fine, I think), and it starts with bergamot and mandarin, which I already find good. Musk and patchouli in the base isn’t so bad either. At least that’s the theory, which you can read above in the ingredients.
However, how all of this smells together, I had expected differently.

It starts off bright (but not fresh), with the aldehydes not being overpowering. They take control here and don’t let go for quite a while. So you have to like that. If you don’t, you can quickly exit the comment (HERE).

Then a harmony sets in for me that should appear quite green to all synesthetes (anyone there?). Where this could come from - aside from the bottle color - I don’t know, but it somewhat reminds me of that climbing plant green from Cacharel’s Eden (which I like very much). And lo and behold: The two fragrances have a lot in common: mandarin, bergamot, mimosa, white flowers, patchouli - and I also bet on musk and aldehydes. Thus, the flowers in both cases are hard to differentiate and act more as a whole. In both cases, patchouli seems to play an important role, which by the way doesn’t come across as earthy, hippie-like, or Indian in either Eden or 1927, but rather somewhat dull, heavy, waxy, which I actually find very nice, even if it doesn’t sound like it. A powdery note certainly comes from the musk, the sweetness perhaps from the vanilla. All in all, it’s quite logical. One shouldn’t have been surprised, but I just couldn’t imagine how these notes would connect.

Now the question from the title arises, namely why the fragrance is called 1927. Attempting an answer: Floris has launched a series of fragrances, all of which bear a year in their name. Naturally, the composition of the four fragrances is meant to connect with the fragrant traditions of the corresponding year (1927, 1962, 1976, 1988: actually, all are quite good, and I find the idea exciting). Floris also evokes the Roaring Twenties, jazz, and the bohemians of those years. I also think that the aldehydes and the floral opulence fit very well, and in that very year, fragrances like Arpège, Zibeline, Chaldée, Cuir de Russie, and amusingly even Pitralon (the old blend sometimes referred to as the "Swiss variant") were indeed created. Arpège serves quite well as a comparison (see ingredients), but 1927 by Floris seems to me in this context a little too modern, which could again be due to the quite strong aura of patchouli that reminds me very much of the 70s in this pronounced form. That’s when I was socialized.

All in all, the fragrance is very successful, very exciting, and unfortunately still hardly noticed. It’s scratching at my wish list.
