What does 1740 smell like?
Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with summer a distant last. It is chosen mostly for evenings and nights out, and less for daily wear. Voters mostly read it as masculine and classic.
It opens with bergamot and davana, then coriander, cardamom and patchouli add a spicy heart. The base is led by labdanum, cedar, immortelle, vanilla, birch and leather, so the scent turns sweet, smoky and earthy, with a resinous warmth. Marc Gebauer Air Tiger and Dior Leather Oud have a close profile.
