Henry Rose London 1983 is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2026, created by Patricia Choux. London 1983 opens with Pepper and Fig, settles into a heart of Water Lily and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Blond Woods, Orcanox, Musk, and Vetiver. Henry Rose's London 1983 carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.

This one's a divisive affair, riding the coattails of a popular fig scent but adding a peppery, woody twist. If you're after a clean, musky fig and don't mind a softer presence, you might love it. Otherwise, expect to be underwhelmed.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Its soft sillage and 'clean skin' scent make London 1983 ideal for office and casual wear, where it's unlikely to offend. While pleasant for a date, its intimate projection might not cut it for formal events. The fresh, musky profile makes it surprisingly apt for light activity.

About

London 1983 opens with a sharp, peppery kick that quickly mellows into a smooth, slightly sweet fig. The heart blooms with delicate jasmine and aquatic water lily, adding a touch of clean freshness. It settles into a comforting, skin-like musk, underpinned by warm blond woods and earthy vetiver, giving it a sophisticated, intimate finish.
