Pineapple, bergamot and pink pepper at the top, mandarin, red thyme and rosemary in the heart, and cypress, cedar, sandalwood and amber in the base. What does 27.9 Lapel smell like? Crisp and modern. Bergamot and pineapple open it with an edge of pink pepper, mandarin and rosemary carry the middle, and the effect is fresh and structured rather than sweet. The pineapple is dry, not tropical. Is Lapel masculine or feminine? Unisex, leaning slightly masculine by convention because of the rosemary and pepper, but nothing about it is gendered in practice. When should I wear it? Spring and summer, and daytime over evening. Bright citrus-aromatic fragrances like this one hold up in heat where richer compositions turn cloying. It is also a straightforwardly office-safe choice. Should I try it first? Worth it. Pineapple is the note people most often misjudge from a description alone; here it is dry and crisp rather than juicy, which is not what most people expect. The 1.5mL sample settles it. Where can I buy it? Here, or in person at our counter in West Hartford, Connecticut. If you have not tried it, start with the 1.5mL sample before the full bottle.
