What does 1872 Acacia smell like?

It opens on black cherry and moves into a heart of freesia, May rose, ginger and acacia. The ginger adds a faint spice between the flowers. The base of cedarwood, patchouli and amber is woody and warm, closing the fresh, green character with a powdery, creamy softness.

Its longevity and sillage are rated good, though few people have voted. There is no season or occasion data; with its floral, powdery profile it reads as a feminine perfume. Diptyque Orphéon and Xerjoff Oesel have a close profile.
