Per Se — Intellectual Purity by 27 87 Perfumes
Per Se Eau de Parfum is a unisex fragrance from the Spanish niche brand 27 87 Perfumes, released in 2023.
It is a modern composition with a distinctive character, combining transparent freshness with spicy energy and soft musky depth.
The 27 87 Perfumes house was founded in Barcelona in 2016 and quickly established itself as a creator of conceptual fragrances with a digital code and a contemporary perspective on scent.
Per Se perfectly reflects this aesthetic: it does not try to be overtly masculine or feminine, but offers an individual scent that unfolds differently on every person.
The Fragrance’s Character and Development
At first, Per Se smells cool, sparkling and slightly sharp. Aldehydic airiness blends with black and white pepper, while green violet leaf adds a dewy, clean nuance to the composition.
Gradually, the fragrance becomes smoother: bamboo, floral nuances and powdery-earthy iris emerge at the heart.
The base unfolds more softly and warmly than the opening might suggest. Ambrette and angelica create a natural, botanical undertone, while musk forms a clean, noticeable and exceptionally long-lasting trail.
The result is a fragrance with the effect of well-groomed skin, fresh air and a light spicy haze.
Wearability and Sillage
Per Se belongs to the floral, musky and spicy fragrance families. Green and woody nuances are also easy to detect, making the composition feel layered and unconventional.
This eau de parfum has very powerful sillage: it is noticeable in the surrounding space and remains on the skin and clothing for a long time.
The fragrance will appeal to those who enjoy clean, cool-toned and abstract compositions without the usual sweetness.
It works well in the city, at a meeting or in the office when applied moderately, and smells especially beautiful in cool weather.
For a first impression, one or two sprays on the skin and the same amount on clothing are enough: the rich formula does not require excessive application.
The Perfumers and the Brand’s Style
Per Se was created by Shyamala Maisondieu and Romy Kowalewski. Their work is evident in the precise balance between sterile freshness, green naturalness and a sensual musky base.
The fragrance smells composed and technological, but not cold: behind the geometric composition, one can sense living skin and the wearer’s individuality.
Per Se is a strong choice for fans of contemporary niche perfumery who value distinctiveness, longevity and freedom from gender conventions.
If you would like to compare it with fragrances that share a similar mood, take a look at Calvin Klein Reveal: both share the idea of a clean, fresh, musky-spicy scent, although Per Se feels more conceptual and layered.
