What does 1881 Fairplay smell like?

It opens with citron and white pepper, a bright citrus freshness with a dry peppery edge. Rosemary and coriander in the heart add a green, herbal note. The base settles on sandalwood and patchouli, a woody foundation, while the fruity and slightly synthetic accords stay in the background.

Longevity and sillage are moderate, so expect neither a heavy trail nor a quick fade. It is marketed as a men's scent. Perfumes with a close profile include David Beckham Classic Summer and Tuxberg Tuxberg.
