OK you can call me names but, to me, 1828 is not so distant from Gucci Envy for Men.
It opens with citruses and eucalyptus immediately joined by incense. Frankincense perfectly blends with the aromatic grapefruit note adding depth and consistency to the fragrance. This accord is definitely successful and so well executed that I was ready to declare 1828 as one of my favourite compositions from this house. Elegant, masculine, fresh but not dull, with a remarkable presence but not loud...a fantastic everyday's fragrance...but...
...but disappointment was waiting for me just right behind the corner. The eucalyptus note evaporates in couple of minutes and you can say goodbye to the "balsamic" effect. Same is for the aromatic grapefruit leaving 1828 in a sort of generic territory made of vetiver, spices and woods (mainly cedar) that's really too similar to Gucci Envy For Men. Overall I can't say that 1828 is unsuccessful but after the outstanding opening I definitely expected something more.
Said that, if you're not familiar with Gucci Envy For Men and you are ready for a challenging price tag, you could enjoy 1828. Personally I stuck with the Gucci.
Rating: 6.5-7/10
"A freshness tinted with sophistication" - a quote from Histoires de Parfums, about their "1828" fragrance ... which is a simple but perfectly correct discription.
All the scents from their "liabrary" are inspired by literary figures. This one, being inspired by the "father of science fiction" - Jules Verne. ... So a scent for travellers and adventurers. And it fits the bill perfectly. It's fresh, but with a heart of subtle spice.
It's an aromatic hesperidic scent, with Grapefruit shinning centre stage. With Top notes of Grapefruit, Italian Orange, Mandarine and Eucalyptus. Heart notes of Nutmeg and Black Pepper. And Base notes of Atlas Ceder, Patchouli, Siberian Pine Cone, Vetiver and Incense.
It's just perfect for summer, but much more sophisticated than the run of the mill sporty citrus fragrances. It really is in a much higher league of it's own. Pure quality !
