Chopard 1927 Vintage Edition
The House of Chopard has always maintained close ties with the classic car racing world over the years, supporting several classic competitions such as the Mille Miglia Race.
This fecund partner- ship has inspired the design of several watches and of a line of perfumes that includes Chopard Mille Miglia and Chopard Mille Miglia Extreme. And now, that tradition has been carried on to create the Chopard Vintage Edition.
In keeping with Chopard Mille Miglia and Chopard Mille Miglia Extreme, Chopard Vintage Edition retains the striking contrast between fresh lavender, a daring asphalt accord and sensual leather.
To these iconic notes, master perfumer Bruno Jovanovic (IFF) added carefully selected noble and vintage ingredients that emphasise the prestigious lineage of the fragrance. This exclusive oriental fougere perfectly marries classic elegance and modern sensibility.
The top notes of lavender are facetted with a rush of green and citrusy juniper. Softened by violet leaves, the intense asphalt heart is both very masculine and full of mystery.
The root note was inspired by the renowned Connolly leather, a material used almost exclusively for the upholstery of deluxe classic cars. It is blended with amber 83, an accord designed during the Roaring ‘Twenties, the very decade that saw the birth of Mille Miglia Race. This sensual combination of rare scents pays tribute to the classic race cars that inspired this complex and textured fragrance.
Chopard Vintage Limited Edition revisits the Chopard Mille Miglia bottle. The pro- filed and sophisticated silver flacon alludes to the metallic finish of Chopard luxury watches and to the bodywork of certain classic race cars.
The top fret is reminiscent of a brushed steel car part. As for the iconic cap, it emulates both the Mille Miglia watch bracelet and the Dunlop tyre that inspired it.
