The story

27 87 was founded in Barcelona in 2016 by Romy Kowalewski. The brand treats fragrance as a sensory experience of the present, not as a finished role, but as an open surface shaped by the person wearing it. Its guiding idea is “No Scent Like the Present.”

01 · Founder and origin

From a personal scent to an independent house

Romy Kowalewski describes how a fragrance she made for herself became an early personal signature. After time in Paris and years spent finding support, she launched 27 87 in Barcelona in 2016. The city is not decorative background for the house, but part of its present and its way of working.

02 · The present and the method

Arhythmic, open, collaborative

On its official brand page, 27 87 calls this approach “arhythmic”: decisions should not automatically follow an industry rhythm. Fragrances instead grow from the present, experimentation, and collaboration. The house describes its bottles as clear, opaque forms and its packaging as artist-created extensions of each fragrance’s character.

03 · Material and collaboration

The fragrance comes first

27 87 places product quality above packaging and promotion. Its definition includes ingredients, production, maceration, local craftsmanship, and durable packaging. In the current brand interview, Kowalewski also explains that new work grows from experimentation and deliberate selection, rather than from a fixed release rhythm.

10/10

„The fragrance begins fruity and sweet with raspberry and caramel and then transitions into a tiresome spiciness. A very interesting scent, which is nevertheless very wearable.“
