What does 1445 smell like?

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick spring and summer, with autumn not far behind. Daily wear, leisure and business settings lead, and most see it as masculine and classic.

It opens with the citrus brightness of lemon and petitgrain. Tarragon adds a green edge in the heart, while lavender gives it a fougère feel. The base of patchouli, clove and vetiver leaves a spicy, earthy woodiness. Lacoste Lacoste Original and Acqua di Parma Colonia Futura have a close profile.
