1976

A few years ago, I was talking to an Englishman at work and I couldn't help smelling the perfume he was wearing. The pleasant aroma of freshness and joy reached me little by little. unable to resist, I asked him what perfume it was. He had to ask his wife, since she bought him that perfume. it was Floris by London in 1976 People compare it to Aventus, and they are right to compare it to it, but the scent of birch and lavender changes everything. This perfume is more gentlemanly than Aventus. It's not sweet and it's not an in-your-face perfume. He is more like a gentleman in a suit, who takes care of himself, who has money and who has a hidden gun with him. This perfume is Jaguar, while Aventus is Ferrari. Everyone has their own taste, I prefer old school. This perfume smells more like summer rain, like the first espresso, like the first love... it smells like new, a new beginning... a very optimistic perfume and I experimented with it for a week and every day I put it on my arm and measured its longevity and notes ... those were good days. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 7/10 Perfume performance - as far as performance goes, this is not a beast of a perfume. It is a more polished and very nicely put together perfume, which is able to surprise and appear even after 8 hours after application, even when you forget about care. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 8/10 Perfume rating - People are noticing and I have been getting compliments on this perfume. It is extremely beautiful to me and when I want to raise my energy, I use this perfume. One of the perfumes that are always in my collection.

Floris is very underrated company. And 1976 is one its latest gems flying under the radar of most fragheadz. It indeed has quite some in common with Aventus, especially Aventus' less juicy and more smokier batches. Think of it as Aventus' first cousin who was sent to British boarding school. Although introvert and man of few words, this distinguished gentleman makes himself noted and respected by any crowd in any situation. This is ridiculously safe scent. It would be barely possible to offend with it anyone, ever person wanting to be offended. Taking into consideration how well it projects and how long it lasts (9-10 hours in Winter and Summer, 11-12 in Spring and Fall) it is quite unique creation, because most of soft agreeable scents doesn't perform well. 1976 is also super versatile - it is perfect for any time of year, any occasion and any outfit. If you running out of your Aventus and not sure if you want to buy another bottle, or if you looking for office (or any type of workplace) safe and classy fragrance give 1976 a try, it is definitely full bottle worthy at $100-150 current price range at discount retailers.

I did not planned to write a review about another Aventus/Aventus Cologne similar fragrance but Floris did here a better job than just copying the popular scent DNAs. This is a perfume which will start very smoky with this Birch, so famously present in all the possible Aventus talks. There is no pineapple or extreme citrussy character to it when you spray it at first, and will keep a gentleman like profile .. this is not your party fragrance, but also not the conservative No. 89 type of lavender old school barbershop style. I sprayed twice on my forearm and now hoping for the best, but about 20min in dry down I can sense that it has a better projection than my reviewed Aventus 2021 Batch and in scent it is more similar to the Cologne version than the OG. For the price, the presentation and the heritage of Floris .. this is a steal and I like that it has its own idea of what a fruity, summery scent should be. The combo of Birch and Lavender makes it unique in its own British way and I will enjoy my bottle to the last drop. Top release from Floris !

1976 (and 1962) by Floris is a really great example of a modern twist on a classic, dapper scent. It's well blended. I couldn't really recognise the individual notes due to how everything blends together, but get a kind of spicey/peppery apple cider/juniper scent. The pepper note reminds me more of Viking than Aventus. The projection is mild, but last for most of the day on me. I could see myself wearing this in a polo shirt all the way up to a suit. This is more of an after-work scent for me due to the floral/spice note. This feels unisex because the floral and lavender elements give a feminine feel, but can certainly get away with it as a man due to woodiness and pepperiness of it too. My girlfriend keeps complimenting me on it when I wear it. The fact this isn't hyped on Youtube is a reflection of the Floris Fragrance Diary line being relatively hard to obtain and not well marketed internationally. I'm certain that if this was called 'Tom Ford London Birch Special Collection', it would have been very successful (likewise with Floris' 1962).

A surprising gem from Floris, a house that makes very old school and austere perfumes. This one, however, is very light, classy but modern and very safe and likable. Imagine Creed Aventus without fruity notes and without vanilla and ambregris. Birch leaves, juniper, pepper, lavender and vetiver are 5 key notes here. That will give you an idea. The closest fragrance to this one, IMO, is Frapin's Orchid Man: not the same notes but very similar vibe with a better performance. Longevity is average for a perfume, projection is sightly below average but the scent is exquisite! Great for office and casual day wear, could be worn year round but spring and fall are best for it. Unisex but masculine leaning. Overall, my favorite from Floris, must try if you like this type of scents.
