How it wears

The fragrance opens fresh and unmistakably aromatic — bright bergamot, classical lavender and the slightly resinous bite of juniper, cypress and elemi give an immediate impression of polished masculine elegance. The heart turns slightly powdery and floral, with vetiver, rose and lily of the valley layered against ylang-ylang and cassia. As the dry-down develops, classical oakmoss, pine, cedar, patchouli and sandalwood combine into a deep, slightly chypre-leaning trail with serious presence.

Who it's for

1881 is for men who love classical aromatic-fougère perfumery — wearers who appreciate the polished, slightly nostalgic character of late-20th-century masculine signatures, fans of Italian tailored fragrance and those rediscovering or sharing a beloved scent across generations. It is also a popular gift choice thanks to its broad appeal and timeless character.

How and when to wear it

This is a true day-to-evening fragrance and works beautifully year-round, with particularly strong performance through autumn and winter. Spray two to three times onto the chest, neck and inside the wrists. The 100ml format is generously sized for daily use.
