WoodyWhat does 1881 Collection smell like?
It opens with olive leaf and mandarin orange, giving a green, fruity freshness. In the heart, iris adds a powdery softness while grapefruit keeps the citrus going. The base of patchouli and cypress settles into a woody, lightly spicy ground, with the sweetness staying in the background.
Longevity is moderate and sillage weak, so it stays close to the skin. Voters place it mostly in leisure, business and daytime wear, well ahead of evening and night-out use. Goutal Les Colognes - Eau d'Hadrien and Bois 1920 Agrumi Amari di Sicilia have a close profile.
