Fortnum & Mason 1707 Or — a fragrance with a British character
Fortnum & Mason 1707 Or is a women's fragrance released in 2013.
The fragrance was created by Fortnum & Mason, a British brand with a particular focus on elegance, tradition and the art of beautiful details.
The name 1707 Or evokes an atmosphere of luxury and precious radiance, while the composition itself is built around an expressive combination of amber, oud, rose and vanilla.
This is a fragrance for a woman who loves noticeable, rich and memorable perfume accents, is not afraid of depth and appreciates the oriental side of perfumery.
The fragrance's character and accords
At the heart of the composition lies a warm amber accord framed by dark woody oud notes.
Rose adds floral softness and contrast, while vanilla makes the overall character rounder, sweeter and more sensual.
Thanks to this combination, Fortnum & Mason 1707 Or comes across as a dense, evening-ready and highly expressive fragrance.
It combines balsamic, floral, gourmand and woody facets, so the fragrance may unfold differently depending on the warmth of the skin and the surrounding environment.
Sillage and suitable occasions
The sillage of Fortnum & Mason 1707 Or is considered very strong.
The fragrance leaves a noticeable impression and is particularly well suited to cool weather, evenings, formal occasions or situations when you want to emphasise your individuality.
For everyday office wear, the composition may seem too intense, so it is best to start with a small amount.
The exact number of sprays for skin and clothing is not specified, but with such an intense profile, moderation is advisable: the fragrance should surround you beautifully rather than overpower the space.
Who will enjoy 1707 Or
This fragrance will appeal to lovers of amber-woody compositions with rose and vanilla accents.
It may interest those looking not for a light floral fragrance, but for a dressier, warmer and more distinctive scent with an oriental mood.
The perfumer and exact concentration of Fortnum & Mason 1707 Or are not specified.
There is also no information about other concentrations in this release, so it is best to appreciate the fragrance as a standalone composition, paying attention to its richness, lasting impression and expressive sillage.
