1920 The Origin

TOUS 1920 The Origin is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2017, created by Daphné Bugey. 1920 The Origin opens with Bergamot, Pepper, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Cumin, and Tea, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Patchouli, and Ambergris. TOUS's 1920 The Origin carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh spicy-led wear.

This one's a divisive one, blending classic masculine spice with a cumin note that some adore and others find rather ripe. It’s often touted as a more budget-friendly take on Cartier Déclaration, but whether it truly measures up is a hot debate.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:

Spring Summer Fall

Also Works:

Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:

Office Casual

Also Works:

Date Formal

Its moderate projection and generally refined spicy-woody character make it suitable for office wear, especially as many consider it a 'friendly introvert'. While it has a sophisticated edge good for dates, its limited longevity might require reapplication for longer evenings. Casual wear is fine due to its versatility, but it's not quite bold enough for formal events or fresh enough for sport.

About

Opens with a lively pop of bergamot and sharp pepper, softened by aromatic cardamom. The heart introduces an intriguing mix of jasmine, a distinct but smoothly integrated cumin, and a dry tea note. It settles into a warm, grounding base of cedar, earthy patchouli, and a subtle hint of ambergris, creating a sophisticated and somewhat complex dry-down.
