1876

by Sylvie Jourdet

Histoires de Parfums 1876 is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2001, created by Sylvie Jourdet. 1876 opens with Litchi, Bergamot, and Orange, settles into a heart of Rose, Iris, Violet, and Caraway, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Sandalwood, Guaiac Wood, and Musk. Histoires de Parfums's 1876 carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it beast. 1876 is a spicy, powdery rose that conjures vintage glamour for some, while others find it too old-fashioned or just plain weird. Definitely not a safe blind buy, so test first to see if you're team 'glamorous spy' or 'antique cosmetics'.

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall
Also Works:
Spring Summer Winter

An autumn-weather scent at heart - warm leaves and shorter days territory.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its bold and complex spicy-rose profile leans towards evenings and special events rather than daily casual wear or sports. While intriguing, the divisive nature and moderate to strong sillage mean it might be a bit much for a conservative office environment.

About

It kicks off with a fizzy litchi and orange zest that quickly gives way to a full-bodied, almost jammy rose. Soon, a rich, powdery iris and violet emerge, underpinned by a warm, spicy mix of cinnamon and caraway. The dry down settles into a smoky, musky vetiver and sandalwood, softened by a touch of clean vanilla, leaving a lasting impression of sophisticated antiquity.
