Reviews of 1826 ![]() BayKAT United StatesShow all reviews | I dabbed this on before watching the first episide of season 4 of the Tudors, so pardon my references. This is the episode where Kathryn Howard comes to court as Queen, and we the viewers get to see lots of bedroom activity. 20th April, 2010. |

| Diamondflame SingaporeShow all reviews | 1826 was inspired by Eugénie de Montijo, the last Empress of France - a beautiful intelligent woman of impeccable taste who apparently loved patchouli. In fact, within seconds of opening, the patchouli makes its presence known, turning sweet bergamot into something decidely darker and hippie-ish, until a violet note heralds the arrival of some white flowers to provide a brighter contrast. Unlike the others I have tried from this house, 1826's progression seems rapid, frantic even, the classic 3-tiered structure completely ignored. It's almost like a Royal Rumble, with notes of incense, patchouli, amber, ginger, vanilla, etc wrestling with one other for a shot at the title, and tumbling in and out of the 'ring'. And the winner? You. For this is indeed a fun, playful scent that doesn't seem to take itself too seriously. 26th November, 2009. |
| surreality United StatesShow all reviews | The opening of 1826 is a sweetened Bergamot which after the first few seconds is joined by patchouli. There is a nice spiciness to the heart notes that tames the florals and patchouli but that is so well integrated into the fragrance that it doesn't smell spicy. The amber and incense start poking through at about 20 minutes but like the spices in the heart notes these notes are integrated to work with the other notes to give them depth and character. After about 2 hours is when I get the most amber, a slightly dirty amber that doesn't seem too vanillic or sweet. On my skin it fades from existence after about 4 or 5 hours leaving only the slightest hint of perfume on the skin. This sticks fairly close to the skin and has very little sillage. I think this is more unisex in character than feminine as and such is worth checking out if you are into patchouli or amber frags. 6th March, 2009. (Last Edited: 24th March, 2009.) |
| Aznavour United StatesShow all reviews | I seriously can't fathom how a perfume that smells like My Little Ponies and cheap sandalwood fans has got anything to do with an obscure 19th century empress. Marketers need to get a grip. 19th February, 2009. |
