What does 1853 Men (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Bergamot, lemon and mandarin orange keep the opening bright and crisp. In the heart, lavender, neroli, rose and pepper bring a floral and spicy side, giving it a fougère and chypre feel. The base of sandalwood, patchouli and musk settles it onto a soft, woody footing.

Voters rate its longevity and sillage as moderate, so it leaves a calm, close trail. Most voters pick spring and summer, with fall not far behind. It leans towards daily wear, leisure and the office, and most voters read it as masculine and classic. Lanvin Lanvin for Men and Rochas Eau de Rochas have a close profile.
