The story behind the bottle.
Stockholm 1978 by Vilhelm Parfumerie was launched in 2015 and is a chypre floral fragrance for women and men. Created by perfumer Jérôme Epinette, this composition opens with the bright freshness of lemon and black pepper, creating an immediate sense of vibrancy and energy. The heart of rosemary and geranium adds a herbal depth that balances the initial spiciness, while moss and patchouli in the base provide earthy warmth and a lingering muskiness from black amber.
Apply this fragrance in light layers — the bright citrus and spicy opening is potent but fades within a couple of hours. The warm base notes will continue to develop on your skin for several hours, making it ideal for daytime wear or an early evening out.
