1826

by Sylvie Jourdet

Histoires de Parfums 1826 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2001, created by Sylvie Jourdet. 1826 opens with Bergamot and Tangerine, settles into a heart of Violet, Jasmine, Ginger, and Cinnamon, and dries down to a base of Woody, Patchouli, Musk, and Amber. Histoires de Parfums's 1826 carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one is a real puzzler. Some folks adore its 'old books and dusty library' vibe, praising its nuanced charm, while others find it a weak, chaotic mess or a band-aid smelling disaster. Definitely a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent, with performance complaints echoing loudly.

Its subtle, skin-scent projection and delicate character make it suitable for office and casual wear, as it's unlikely to offend. However, its poor longevity and minimal sillage detract from its suitability for formal events or dates where more presence is desired.

About

Opens with a fleeting, bitter tangerine and bergamot before settling into a soft, dry violet heart, dusted with subtle cinnamon and ginger spice. The backbone is a woody, powdery patchouli-amber accord, woven with wisps of incense and a hint of vanilla, creating a delicate, almost antique air. It's often described as smelling of old books or dusty elegance.
