PowderyWhat does 1831 (Parfum) smell like?
The opening is fresh and lightly spicy, with pink pepper and aldehydes. At the centre, rose, jasmine, ylang-ylang and labdanum form a floral core, while green and chypre touches keep it from turning soft. The base brings vanilla, benzoin and praliné sweetness, which musk and patchouli temper into a woody footing.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. The number of ratings is small, so these impressions are tentative. It is classed as a women's fragrance. Ajmal Evoke for Her and Etat Libre d'Orange Exit the King have a close profile.
