FLORIS LONDON 1927 EDP 100 ml A plunge into the roaring '20s. The geometries and inlays of the Art Deco style adorn the silk tapestries of the Montmartre cafés. Young women stroll through the streets of Paris sporting short à la garconne hair and pause dreamily in front of the shop windows of the most fashionable designer of the moment, Coco Chanel. The Cotton Club in Harlem, New York, is packed with spectators enveloped in dense clouds of smoke, the Duke Ellington jam session is about to begin. Jazz is in its infancy, the syncopated sound of piano and saxophone improvisations is about to change the history of music forever. In London, the West End ballrooms are teeming with couples dancing to the rhythms of Swing and Charleston. Rivers of champagne flow into crystal glasses. Multi-strand pearl necklaces encircle the ladies' necks, feathers and sequins embellish the cocktail dresses. The men wear tailcoats and seem to have stepped out of Francis Scott Fitzgerald's masterpiece novel, The Great Gatsby. The '20s are a "golden age" set between the two World Wars, a decade dominated by hedonism, a desire to live, and faith in the future. Floris celebrates the roaring years with 1927, a unisex Eau de Parfum with an eclectic and original flavor, continuing the story begun with The Fragrance Journals, the collection of three exclusive fragrances that immortalizes the soul and heart of the city of London at key moments in its history. 1927 brings to life the festive bohemian atmospheres of early twentieth-century London cocktail parties 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 nonconformist and frivolous excesses, fully embodied the spirit of the times. The fragrance opens with luminous citrus notes of bergamot enhanced by a light touch of mandarin, masterfully balanced by voluptuous aldehydic tones. This fresh opening gives way to 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 it an eccentric and surprising, very original character. The base notes are an intense and persistent blend of musk and patchouli, enriched by an opulent trail of sweet vanilla.
