ResinousWhat does 1890 (Parfum) smell like?
Longevity is rated strong and sillage moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. It is classed as a women's fragrance. Votes on season and occasion are too few to say when it suits best.
It opens with pink pepper, ginger and orange blossom, with citrus and green freshness over the spice. Rose and jasmine give the heart a soft floral body. The base gathers frankincense, leather, patchouli, amber and musk into a resinous, faintly smoky, woody warmth. Histoires de Parfums 1926 and Guerlain Santal Royal share a close profile.
