About this fragrance
Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.
1740 by Histoires de Parfums is an aromatic fougère that opens with a striking blend of licorice, citruses, and grapefruit. The licorice lends a soft spiciness that immediately sets it apart from conventional fougères, while the citrus adds a brisk, bitter edge. This unconventional opening leads into a heart of lavender and star anise, where the lavender's herbal calm is spiked by anise's sweet, aromatic bite. The base is a warm, powdery mélange of vanilla, almond, sandalwood, amber, and cedar, creating a soft, enveloping finish that lingers with a gourmand-tinged sophistication.
This fragrance suits collectors who appreciate a modern take on the fougère genre with a gourmand twist. It is versatile enough for daytime wear but has the depth for evening occasions, particularly in cooler weather. The prominent lavender and anis accords, supported by powdery and vanilla nuances, make it a distinctive choice for those who enjoy complex, spicy-aromatic compositions. Perfumer Sylvie Jourdet's creation is a testament to the house's literary-inspired approach, offering a scent that is both classic and unconventional.
