1873 Fragrance Reviews

The folks at Histoires de Parfums are obviously very big into intertextuality, so perhaps they will not mind my beginning my review of 1873 with the observation that this perfume reminds me a lot of Bond no 9 CONEY ISLAND. And not at all without reason, having just espied the notes: lots of citrus on the top, and caramel on the bottom. Yes indeed, these two compositions are definitely neighbors on the grand olfactory map, although in this composition the dominant citrus is grapefruit, while in CONEY ISLAND it is lime. I had thought that CONEY ISLAND exhausted the members of its own genre, but here, too, a confusing and unexpected cacophony of notes yields a rather thought-provoking perfume. The lavender in the heart here is a bit strong for my liking, but then I almost always find lavender too strong in any perfume in which it is detectable. Based on the dominance of lavender, I'd predict (having yet to take a peek) that “The Guide” (cough, cough) rates this composition very high, since LT loves lavender (along with all masculine-leaning feminine perfumes...). Well, let's test the hypothesis:

Yes, indeed, as predicted, 1873 gets four stars, although strangely it's been reviewed by TS, who regards it as a grapefruit perfume in the same category as Guerlain Aqua Allegoria PAMPLELUNE. Oh well, I’ve always suspected that she was quasi-anosmic anyway... She regards 1873 as “excellent, clever work” and CONEY ISLAND as “harsh and rather empty up close,” a phrase which quite accurately describes her own “reviews”, IMNSHO...

Almost goes straight to the drydown on my skin to a powdery, honeyed oriental amber which is quite cozy- how bizarre! I get no citrus at all- it's almost like a feathery CK Obsession on my skin, not floral at all, quite wearable but unremarkable overall. A cozy, subtle skin scent when the open subsides..I'm guessing HdP's scents should be tested on skin first given these disparate reviews..Colette does not offend me at all!

To me, the "worst" in line of a normally great range.
This does not smell like Colette and 1873, but like the latest by Dolce&Gabanna (see their "La Luna" scent).
A floral something with no refinement and no fun at all. Mainstream companies are just better at this kind of scent. If you're into such a fragrance, get a MODERN floral (see Gucci et.al.) - will also save you a lot of cash.

Histories de parfums is one of my favorite lines, but 1873 doesn't work on me. I get an initial, sharp blast of citrus and pineapple (though I know there is no pineapple listed--and it does not have the pineapple punch of 1804). The gourmand notes are quite subtle, serving mostly to neutralize the acid, creating an overall impression of tropical fruit on a cream base. Starts out sharp, dries down a bit sour. In all fairness, vanilla-fruit blends and fruity-gourmands are usually not for me, and this is no exception.

I would like to smell this and see if I like it. I usually do not like anything with musk or vanilla. I only like to cook with vanilla not wear it.

This is nice but i don't find it very intersting.The top notes are a bit synthetic and piercing but this happens with many citrus,on my mind even the most naturals. Then the most prominent note is lilly of the valley combined with a herbal hoenyed smell. the honey gives a somewhat gourmand impression , as black bacarra mentioned, but it;s very subtle. Unfortunately it does'nt last much and it fades in a relatively non descript powdery musky with a hint of ambergris.At least it's not as sweet as the vanilla caramel combo suggests.

Yes, it's very interesting combination of citrus and sweet notes, refined, subtle and very feminine.

It's considered a Citrus Gourmand. The perfect blend of citrus and sweet vanilla. I love it on me but not everybody does. Histoires scents are not for everyone. They tend to smell too strong.

No aquatic scents in this collection.
