1873

1873 by Histoires de Parfums is a complex citrus gourmand with a bright, fizzy opening dominated by bergamot, grapefruit, and citrus zest, delivering a sweet-tart burst that feels both juicy and slightly synthetic. The heart reveals a quiet floral-herbal accord of lavender, lily of the valley, and wildflowers, which tempers the sweetness and adds a dry, powdery texture. The drydown centers on vanilla, caramel, and musk, creating a soft, gourmand base that unfolds slowly over time. While the scent is described as unisex, most wearers find it leans masculine due to lavender and herbal depth, though some perceive a feminine, talcum-powdered elegance. The fragrance is notably long-lasting, with a slow evolution that draws attention through its prolonged sillage and moderate projection. It is most suited to spring and summer, and ideal for daytime wear.
