1740 is my first experience with the house of Histoires de Parfums; a wonderfully surprising woody leather scent with some unexpected oriental facets. Initially it opens rather bitter and harsh with a pronounced rindy bergamot and herbal artemisia, though it soon becomes much more inviting. The dry, vegetal nature of immortelle is paired with a beautifully thick, almost sappy leathery labdanum. This dry woodiness is furthered by an earthy patchouli, contrasted by the inimitable warmth of cardamom and creamy coriander, with just a touch of sweet vanilla. It’s magnificently complex. It has elements of classical chypres and orientals, combining characteristics of the golden age of French perfumery - but elevated to something slightly more contemporary and unique. This scent has really taken me by surprise, I think I adore it, and I’ll definitely need a bottle.
This fragrance is absolutely BANGIN'!!! A big regret of mine from a recent trip to France is that I didn't buy this, it's superb and a stand out juice from this house. I'll be honest I'm usually not a fan of immortelle and I definitely smell something of it in here, floral yet sweet and caramelized but in this context it's appealing. That's probably because in the main 1740 is a heavyweight masculine bomb of leather, patchouli and resin which totally speaks to me. Perfect mixture of heavy indulgence and something more animal and dirty. This is a rich, oldskool type of fragrance with the raw power of spicy leather, bracing labdanum (which I love) and even a hint of vanilla detected in the drydown. This sweetens things up and does give add a boozy, maple syrup vibe to proceedings. I love 1740, strong on the skin projecting well and lasting for ages, my collection is crying out for this one.
