What does 1949 smell like?

It opens with apple, lemon and bergamot, a bright and fruity start. In the heart, juniper, cinnamon, labdanum, ivy and cedarwood give it a green, spicy, woody backbone, while the sweeter and floral shades stay in the background. The base of leathery notes, patchouli, musk and amberwood dries down warm with a light leather feel.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so expect a presence that stays fairly close. Most voters recommend it for daytime and the office, with leisure and evening wear getting fewer votes. It is positioned as a men's scent. Duftanker MGO Duftmanufaktur Sparks Of The Gods and Xerjoff Renaissance have a close profile.
