What does 1904 (Absolu Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters recommend fall and spring, though winter and summer are not far behind; daytime, evening and office wear draw nearly equal votes. Most voters read it as feminine and classic.

It opens with neroli and mandarin giving a fresh, bright lift. Heliotrope and iris then bring a powdery, creamy softness to the heart. In the base, cedarwood, sandalwood and musk settle it onto a warm, woody ground, with spicy and earthy touches staying in the background. Acqua di Parma Vaniglia and Initio Rehab have a close profile.
