What does 1984 smell like?

It starts with a spicy warmth from nutmeg and pink pepper, while blackcurrant adds a fruity edge. In the heart, jasmine, rose absolute, amber and frankincense lead, and the floral side settles onto a resinous, faintly smoky ground. Vanilla absolute, benzoin and musk close it creamy, powdery and sweet.

Voters find both longevity and sillage strong. Winter, fall and spring draw nearly equal votes, with summer behind. Leisure and nights out lead among occasions. It reads almost evenly feminine and masculine. It has been discontinued. Its profile is close to The Dua Brand Rare Rose 1984 and Phlur Rose Whip.
