Special No. 127 was created in 1890 for Russia’s Prince Orloff and named ‘Orloff Special’. Later the fragrance was launched into the Floris repertoire having been renamed after the page in the ‘Specials’ formula book in which the recipe was recorded. The fragrance has become a favourite with many over the years – both men and women. Devoted followers included Eva Peron and Winston Churchill. A receipt sent to Winston Churchill for an order including Special No. 127 still sits in the cabinets at 89 Jermyn Street, while his ledgers remain on display in our perfumery.

"An alluring and mature heritage scent. Refreshingly citrusy and herbaceous, Special 127 is a unique blend."

    This is the fragrance of which I prefer most of all. Not at all overpowering and blends well with other Floris products that I purchase.
