TOUS 2017 EDT
1920 The Origin
by Daphné Bugey
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 woody-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.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
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.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Best Occasions
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.
