Chopard 1927 Vintage Edition
by Chopard
Chopard 1927 Vintage Edition is a deeply character-driven fragrance that stands out through its bold use of asphalt, leather, and green notes. It opens with a sharp, fresh green and lavender core, subtly grounded by juniper and a wet, mossy violet leaf. The heart reveals a deeply tactile asphalt accord—dry, slightly rubbery, with a sense of cool pavement after rain—supported by smooth leather and an earthy undercurrent. The drydown brings a creamy, sweet amber and lavender, creating a surprisingly refined and balanced finish. It feels elegant and modern, with a restrained sillage that lingers without overwhelming. While many note its resemblance to Bvlgari Black in atmosphere, this version leans more masculine and distinct, thanks to its layered green and leather components. It performs best in cooler months and suits evening wear or introspective moments.
