   |  Special no. 127 is no more than a cheap, rubbery version of no. 89 featuring the Floris house citrus note and a dull, boring drydown of dirty florals like geranium and carnation. Super powdery with the added mustiness of patchouli. This ought to have stayed in the 19th Century with whatever Russian duke commissioned it.14 November 2009 |
 |  Very sharp and bitter citrus opening with a large dose of rose and neroli. The neroli doesn't smooth out the rose so that's why it gets very sharp. Dries down into a green floral. Overall, very sharp! Did I say that already?04 November 2009 |
  | This fragrance may have worked at the turn of the XXth century but it is so cloying and outdated as to be simply unwearable (at least by a man) today on an everyday basis. Having said that, it is of course interesting from a historical point of view since it allows us to see how fragrances and consumer tastes have evolved in the past 100 years. No 127 was worn by the great Noël Coward and Argentina's Eva Peron amongst others. A thing of the past. 08 August 2008 |
   |  Actually in small amount it is perfect for everyday - For sure - it is a specialist scent - not grand, not in your face - but very Special .............127. 10 April 2008 |

| Created for a Russian Grand Duke (just prior to that nasty unpleasantness in the trenches). Neroli (orange blossom), orange, rose, petitgrain and a few others - rich, rounded citrus/floral and ultra sophisticated. That underlying dryness brings the high sweet neroli notes down from their heights and balances the whole. Very special and for wearing only on special evenings and state occasions. 08 November 2007 |
