1876
A spicy rose built around lychee, orange, and cinnamon, with iris and violet softening the heart. Named for Mata Hari, 1876 pairs the warmth of spice with a floral center that feels both mysterious and composed.
Perfumer: Sylvie Jourdet
1876 is dedicated to Mata Hari, whose name means the eye of day in Malay. The house draws on her captivating beauty and taste for adventure. The fragrance centers on a spicy rose: cinnamon and cumin sharpen the flower, pulling it away from simple sweetness and toward something warmer and drier.
Lychee, orange, and bergamot open the composition with a juicy, faintly bitter fruitiness. The rose then rises, softened by iris and violet, whose powdery texture keeps the flower from feeling too polished. Carnation adds its own clove-like warmth, loosening the bouquet.
Sandalwood, vetiver, guaiacum, white musk, and vanilla form the base. The woods are dry rather than creamy, and the vanilla rounds the spice without turning the scent sweet. The brightness of the fruit finds a calmer counterpart in rose, spice and the woody foundation.
Wear it for an evening out, or on days when you want a rose with some distance to it. It suits anyone looking for a floral that leans warm and spiced rather than soft and dewy.
