Perfumehead is easily one of the coolest and most exciting fragrance houses around (just check our profile). New for summer, the IYKYK brand returns with 1272, a coltrait — a riff on a cologne-extrait hybrid, made with a high concentration of perfume oil and luxe ingredients. Inspired by Palm Springs and the iconic Wexler House architecture, it exudes a fresh, citrus-chic vibe. The scent opens with a radiant burst of orange flowers — breezy and bright — layered over woods that nod to the architectural beams of the house. Cistus absolute (an intense citrus note) mingles with verdant greens and creamy sandalwood to capture the spirit of desert modernism. To my nose, it’s clean, fresh and refined — perfect for anyone who loves that classic cologne vibe but wants something more dimensional and with lasting power. Crisp, elevated and irresistible, like a freshly pressed shirt, 1272 should be a new signature this summer.
