Histoires de Parfums 1725 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2001, created by Sylvie Jourdet. 1725 opens with Citrus, Bergamot, Grapefruit, and Licorice, settles into a heart of Lavender and Star Anise, and dries down to a base of Amber, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Histoires de Parfums's 1725 carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

Don't let the 'Casanova' tag fool you; this is a powdery, sweet, and surprisingly versatile scent that's more elegant than overtly seductive. It's divisive, with some finding it a refined fougere and others dismissing it as mere baby powder, but many agree it's a classy, comforting wear.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall
Also Works:
Winter

Built for the cooler edges of the year - spring and autumn pair best.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its moderate projection and smooth, inoffensive character make it suitable for office wear, while its comforting sweetness lends itself well to casual and date settings. The sophisticated blend, though sometimes intimate in sillage, is still appropriate for formal events, but definitely unsuitable for sport given its powdery nature.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Bitter almond Benzaldehyde from Almond
  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Vanillin from Vanilla

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Imagine a soft, powdery cloud of spiced lavender and almond, given a subtle zing by bergamot and grapefruit. As it settles, vanilla and amber emerge, entwining with the initial anise and licorice to form a smooth, clean, almost gourmand embrace. It's a sweet, herbal, and subtly woody composition with a refined touch.
