1804 Histoires de Parfums for women

Very sweet pineapple, as if it were preserved in syrup. Would be nice to occasionally sniff but too strong to be smelling like all day.

This is just lovely; however, it was love on second sight for me.
The first few minutes were a bit too much, too strong, I thought it almost stuffy, but it quickly settled into a very warm, sweet and aromatic smell.
Overall, it's a rather sweet perfume, but it's not "candy-sweet"; I would call it an aromatic sweetness with some fresh and elegant notes surrounding it.
The base of vanilla and sandalwood lasts very, very long; it's even still there in the morning when I leave it on overnight.

Histoires de Parfums 1804 has a decidedly Lolita Lempicka-esque demeanor. And that's a very good thing, according to my nose: voluptuous and sumptuous, a thick comfort scent of the woody floriental variety with an ever-so-slightly masculine edge that makes it wearable by guys and gals alike. Although this composition does not contain the trademark Lolita Lempicka licorice note, there is enough overlap of everything else to impart the same general aesthetic to this perfume. One of the nicest features of the perfumes of Lolita Lempicka is their declarative nature: they are not afraid to seduce, and neither is 1804. Wearing this perfume is a full-fledged experience in and of itself, not merely an accompaniment to whatever one happens to be doing. Sandalwood, patchouli, benzoin, and vanilla combine to anchor the rich floral notes spiced with a touch of nutmeg. I like it a lot!

fragranza meravigliosamente morbida e femminile.

A warm floral oriental in the grand, classic style. It is very fruity in the begining (not suitable for poeple who hate ananas!) and develops into a very strong, remarkably spicy-fruity concoction (very innovative: spices PLUS fruit!). Very characteristic, discernible - no easy crowd pleaser. High quality, indeed, elaborated by Sylvie Jourdet who teaches at the ISIPCA in Versailles and who seems to be a professeur "connaisseur", judging by this powerful fragrance.
Don't confound it with George Sand by Les Parfums Historiques i.e. MPeG - it is totally different.

Wow, KTerhark, your review is spot on! I tried the sample and I did get haven't gotten to stinky flamethrowers (sigh of relief) and gardenia, but I did get a fresh pineapple with a slight hint of warm plastic afterwards. Then it all sort of mingled into an anonymous base -- or I stopped paying attention. I'll try again and update the review.

does anyone know where I can get the 1804? i am having a very hard time finding this..

"m giving this an initial sniff becaue I just got back from Maui 12 hours ago, so fresh pineapple and tahitian gardenias are still hanging on my skin and clothes. While this does not transport me back to the islands it does bring up some good memories:

Heated plastic. Every day I smushed my face into a snorkling mask after a long drive in the car. That initial whiff of warm plastic is captured nicely here.

Pineapple wedgies. Opening blast smells just like the garnishment on my mai tai last night.

Stinky flamethrowers. One night we went to a Luau that ended with a guy who danced with fire sticks. Afterwards I had my picture taken while standing next to him; where I got a good whiff of his sweaty back. This is one memory I could do wihtout, actually.

Gardenia/tiara: You have to make an effort not to step on these there, they are so plentiful. Here the note is not as pure as it is on the islands. Nevertheless, it is sure to rekindle your desire to strap on a coconut bra and to shake those hips.

A fun, light and breezy fragrance. do I agree that it is 4 star? Not after sampling Galimard's pineapple fragrances. But a noteworthy option, certainly.

The initial blast is very Floral...
Rose water and Lily of the Valley and fruity a coupling of Peach and something else...
Little did I know it was Pineapple!!!

Very much a Vanilla /Wood Mix ...as it settles on my skin...which is definitely
my favorite Base ...

First out of the vial, this one made me cringe. A blast of vanilla, fruit and sandalwood, a combination that I hate as much as it hates me--we do NOT get along--blasted off my skin in harsh, sharp waves. Luckily it faded very quickly into a creamy, softer version, heavy on the vanilla. Dry down kept getting better and better, ending up in a soft, rich vanilla/wood mix with just a touch of citrus and one flower hiding somewhere behind. Lovely, creamy and soft, but not sure how it relates to George Sand, who it is supposed to represent. Still, very very nice after that initial blast of awful. Recommended for sampling.

This is a delicious oriental, with a rich and creamy gourmand character that is simply gorgous. 1804, also known as George Sand, starts off with a sparkling top of peach and pineapple. They add a slightly fizzy, tickle your nose quality. The heart is a spicy floral, heavier on the spice than floral, with clove and other spices adding warmth and softness to the mix. The dry down and base are creamy woods with vanilla and a hint of patchouli. Rich, complex and sensual, this ia a marvelous sweet oriental that leans toward the gourmand. Just terrific!
