Special No. 127
Bergamot, orange and lavender meet geranium and neroli, supported by musk and patchouli.
Special No. 127 was created in 1890 for Russia’s Prince Orloff. Originally called Orloff Special, it later took its name from the page of the formula book where the recipe was recorded. The historic Eau de Toilette connects restrained citrus and flowers with a more naturally tailored sense of dress.
Bergamot, orange, lavender and petitgrain give brighter citrus an aromatic outline. Geranium, neroli, rose and ylang ylang create a softer floral centre. Musk and patchouli form the finish, connecting fresher flowers with a quieter texture and earthier depth.
Consider it with summer tailoring or for an outing where freshness should feel more restrained. Winston Churchill was among its long-standing admirers. The illustrated 100mL bottle pairs a gold cap and orange front label with rectangular clear glass, pale yellow liquid and a thick transparent base.
