What does 1989 smell like?

Plum, patchouli and pink pepper read together. The fruity sweetness of the plum leans on the earthy, resinous depth of the patchouli, while the pink pepper cuts that sweetness with a spicy edge. The whole carries a dark, woody mood.

Voters find the longevity good and the sillage moderate, so it sits close to the skin and doesn't push itself on the room. It is classed as a masculine scent and suits those who like dense, earthy notes. Those after a similar profile may also look at Andromeda's Curse Orrery and Maison Mona di Orio Café Simien.
