Truefitt & Hill 1805 is a Cologne launched in 1805. 1805 opens with Bergamot, Mandarin, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Lavender, Geranium, and Clary Sage, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, and Sandalwood. Truefitt & Hill's 1805 carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

A universally praised fresh and clean scent, 1805 combines classic barbershop appeal with modern smoothness. It's often compared to Issey Miyake, but many agree it's the superior, less harsh sibling. A fantastic blind buy and a true everyday hero.

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.

About

Truefitt & Hill's 1805 kicks off with a vibrant citrus burst of bergamot and mandarin, spiced just so with cardamom. The heart unfurls into a clean, aromatic blend of lavender, clary sage, and geranium, evoking a sophisticated soapiness. As it settles, a smooth, woody base of sandalwood and cedar emerges, softened by a comforting musk.
