Marquis de Sade

by Sylvie Jourdet

Histoires de Parfums Marquis de Sade is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2000, created by Sylvie Jourdet. The fragrance opens with Artemisia and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Patchouli, Cardamom, and Coriander, and dries down to a base of Immortelle, Labdanum, Leather, and Birch.

Our verdict on Marquis de Sade: Acquired

This is a seriously polarising beast. Forget your usual crowd-pleasers; 1740 is a dark, leathery, boozy powerhouse that demands attention. You'll either adore its scandalous charm or recoil from its perceived mustiness. Definitely not for the shrinking violets.

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Formal

With its beast mode performance and intensely dark, leathery accords, 1740 is too much for the office. It truly shines on a date or in formal evening settings, projecting a daring confidence that's less suited to casual daytime wear or anything active.

About

Opens with an intriguing herbal edge, mixing artemisia's green bitterness with bergamot's zest, quickly deepened by a rich, earthy patchouli wrapped in warm, spiced cardamom. As it develops, a powerful, animalic leather accord dominates, softened by balsamic labdanum and a hint of sweet vanilla and immortelle, creating a complex, syrupy, almost boozy warmth. The birch adds a smoky, leathery dryness to the enduring base.
