1875

1875 s'ouvre sur du citron et du gingembre, presque confits.
Immédiatement après vient un magnifique safran, et ensuite arrivent les bois, un patchouli un peu humide qui rappelle le tabac (plus que l'encens, selon moi) et du bois de gaïac.
Un très beau parfum de résines et de citrons confit, et mon safran préféré avec celui de l'Artisan parfumeur.

Ps: les versions parfum de 2014 et Absolu edp plus tardive ne diffèrent que très peu, la 2014 étant peut-être plus vite résines et patchouli, et la edp plus longtemps citron confit-safran.

A set of samples of HdP had been in my possession for a while. After the first test I found all HdP more or less pleasant to smell but it didn't blow my mind. Now I have suddenly discovered 1875. I actually like the top notes the least. It may indeed smell a bit medicinal like some people say, but it somehow reminds me of nettle tea too. But wait! After not too long it starts to smell a bit smoky, a bit sweet but certainly not too much. I don't recognize myself in the comparison with chewing gum that I saw online, but it also depends on your own skin of course.Some people make a comparison with Black Orchid by Tom Ford, although I like that scent too, it is certainly not the same in my opinion. Maybe it's the kind of 'tea' smell that makes them smell alike. In any case, a recommendation that you should give some time to settle on your skin.
I would describe it as a 'warm' scent, fit for autumnal scenes with a base that you will still smell in the morning. I love it.

Do I need to go to some sort of help group? I have been overspraying it when I'm home alone and using it every day. Idk what's in it that smells so heavenly. I don't particularly like patchouli but here it's layered so well with other things that is not overwhelming. The amber (actually the notes do not mention amber, but this is what I smell). Some sort of citrus comes through. This is on my top shelf, with the Guerlains, my vintage Carons and others. Usually I stick to vintage and snub the new perfumes but I LOVE IT. A sexpot Oriental.
