The story behind the bottle.
Jérôme Epinette crafted 125th & Bloom as an exploration of contrasts: the warmth and spiciness of saffron, the unexpected metallic edge, and a heart of rose and violet that softens its rugged edges. The composition is anchored by leather and woody accords that give it depth, while powdery and animalic notes add complexity. This fragrance from Vilhelm Parfumerie leans into a modern sensibility, blending traditional notes with contemporary twists to create something both familiar and new.
Apply two sprays to ensure the powdery and animalic notes have time to develop. The metallic and leather accents are most noticeable close to skin, so this is best suited for intimate encounters rather than large gatherings. It pairs well with a warm coat or soft sweater.
