Olfactory masterpiece
First of all: this fragrance is different - different from 1976, different from the other Floris fragrances. But what is it like when it is so different? You'll find the answer at the end of my commentary.
The fragrance starts with a light citrus note, which - unlike many citrusy, fresh scent starts - appears very natural and not pungent. A peppery note is much more pungent at the beginning, which makes the scent immediately interesting and sets it apart from other fresh scents right from the start.
After the citric and peppery opening has subsided, a distinct juniper note comes to the fore, which, together with the vetiver, determines the further course of the fragrance.
Contrary to expectations, after a while a light natural citric acid comes to the fore again. It leads to an interplay between earthy juniper aromas and fresh accents. I have never experienced a fragrance like this before. Patchouli, amber and musk are added at the end and round off the fragrance without losing its edges and corners
The fragrance is clearly perceptible in the initial phase and naturally decreases somewhat as the process continues. The durability is nevertheless outstanding, even after hours you can still enjoy a fresh juniper scent. And on clothes the scent lasts more than a day anyway.
So why is 1976 so different? Because it's an incredibly complex, fresh juniper scent that stays exciting throughout the fragrance, yet is easily wearable. In my opinion, it is one of the best modern gentleman's fragrances.
