Description

Wandervogel by 27 87 is an aromatic fragrance for men and women. Launched in 2016, this composition is signed by nose Shyamala Maisondieu. Its olfactory structure unfolds with top notes of mint, marine accords, and shiso (purple mint); a heart of fennel, anise, and white flowers; and a base of sand and musk.

This is the fifth fragrance in the set, continuing the brand’s ‘curiosities’ line. The opening is very volatile and fresh, with a sharp burst of lively mint that’s almost like mouthwash but not overpowering; soon fennel embraces it, adding sweetness. This fennel is realistic, like holding a sprig in your mouth while walking through the countryside. After an hour and a half, the freshness fades, leaving a soft floral and creamy musk close to the skin. It has low projection. Visually, it feels fresh and clean, transporting me to a Mediterranean walk through fennel bushes on a crisp day. I understand the ‘toothpaste’ comparison some make in English, but I’m not entirely convinced. It’s youthful and carefree for heat. I like it, but like the others, I don’t see the price justified unless you’re looking for a very specific profile. UPDATE: Worn at work one day, it’s just fennel with a minty twist and nothing else. No evolution noticed. It’s pleasant, and if it cost €30 instead of €155 for 87ml, I’d buy it. I’ll admit I’m not lucky with Shyamala Maisondieu: they’re nice but don’t spark any special feeling. The longevity is almost that of a cologne.
