SpicyWhat does 1873 smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are moderate. Most voters recommend spring and summer, and it suits leisure, daytime and office wear more than evenings or nights out. Half of voters find it feminine, and some call it modern.
It opens with a bright mix of orange, lemon, bergamot and grapefruit. Orange blossom, violet and lavender bring a soft floral heart. In the base, vanilla, caramel and white musk sweeten and smooth the scent, while green and spicy shades stay in the background. Claus Porto 4 - Agua Clementina and Acca Kappa Green Mandarin have a close profile.
