What does 1888 smell like?

It opens with Persian saffron, carnation, coriander and green pepper, a spicy, slightly sharp start. Moroccan neroli and Indonesian ylang-ylang bring a soft floral heart, and Mysore sandalwood, patchouli and amber settle the scent onto a woody, sweet, resinous base.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with summer well behind. It leans towards evenings and nights out; most voters read it as masculine, though a fair share find it feminine. Boadicea the Victorious Ardent and Xerjoff Fars have a close profile.
