Project 1945 Waters of Maluku is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2022. Waters of Maluku opens with Carrot Seeds, Grapefruit, and Green Tea, settles into a heart of Peony, Lotus, and Cinnamon, and dries down to a base of Musk, Clove, Labdanum, and Incense. Project 1945's Waters of Maluku carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

Don't let the name fool you - this isn't an aquatic, but a unique, spicy-citrus bomb that some absolutely adore for its freshness, while others find the performance a bit lacking. It's a divisive delight for those who crave something different.

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.

Date

Its moderate longevity and sillage, combined with its fresh and spicy character, make it highly suitable for casual wear and daily use, including the office. While reviewers enjoy it for dates, its informal nature means it’s less ideal for formal events.

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.

Other declarable allergens

  • Clove Eugenia Caryophyllus Flower Oil from Clove
  • Eugenia Caryophyllus Leaf Oil from Clove
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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

Waters of Maluku opens with a zesty, almost effervescent burst of grapefruit and green tea, quickly followed by an unexpected earthy whisper of carrot seeds. The heart unfurls with a delicate, watery lotus and soft peony, warmed by a surprising kick of cinnamon. The dry-down settles into a comforting, musky embrace with balsamic labdanum, a hint of clove, and a smoky trail of incense.
