1925
Fragrance notes
Character
Coriander and cinnamon open 1925 with a warm, dusty spice that feels immediate and slightly dry. Sweet orange and Calabrian bergamot brighten the entry without turning it juicy, while neroli adds a clean, faintly soapy floral edge that keeps the spices from feeling heavy. It is a crisp, inviting start that leans more aromatic than gourmand.
The heart shifts toward a soft leather that is smooth rather than rugged. Ylang-ylang and jasmine bring a creamy white floral quality, and nutmeg carries the earlier spice into the middle. Orris adds a powdery, root-like texture that rounds the edges, so the leather reads as polished and refined instead of sharp or animalic.
Peru balsam and labdanum give the base a thick, resinous amber character that feels cozy and deep. Vanilla absolute sweetens the resin, while Indian sandalwood and musk provide a creamy, woody foundation that stays close and personal. The overall impression is a velvet curtain in a wood-paneled library, heavy, warm, and faintly scented with old spices.
