What does 1681 smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters place it in autumn and spring, with summer not far behind, and it leans towards leisure, daily wear and the office. Most voters read it as masculine, though some find it feminine or classic.

The opening brings mandarin orange, coriander, bergamot, rosemary and red thyme. In the heart, lavender, iris and neroli add a floral, powdery softness, while black pepper adds spice. The base turns sweet with vanilla, alongside cedarwood and sandalwood, and frankincense and white musk close it in a resinous, slightly smoky calm.
