SpicyWhat does 1853 Lady smell like?
The opening is citrus-led, with bergamot, orange, lemon and lavender, while rosemary and neroli add a green coolness. In the heart, orange blossom, rose and jasmine bring a soft floral note. The base of patchouli, sandalwood, amber and musk turns it woody, lightly powdery and a little sweet.
Longevity is moderate and sillage is weak, so it stays close to the skin without announcing itself. Voters split it almost evenly between daytime, leisure, business and night out, with some also choosing evening. Parfums de Marly Darley and Roja Parfums Bergamot have a close profile.
