    A rounded juicy scent that is primarily a deep rose on my skin ,spice-y ,rich ,full with accents of blackcurrant and lychee which enhance the rose note wonderfully. It is gorgoeus and long lasting .Femme Fatale indeed!

    1876 MATA HARI had me fooled. It starts off rather coquettish with a soft feminine lychee accord which gets me thinking of a flirtishly attractive girl. But as the scent warms on my skin, it reveals its glorious self: a distinctive powdery floral blend which is all woman, and a daring and passionate one at that, a deft touch of cumin giving it a raw almost animalic edge. While I prefer it to be edgier as befits the femme fatale, I must concede that Mata Hari was a woman first, a spy second. And it is this particular distinction that ratchets up 1876's wearability factor a couple of notches, even more so with its fabulous drydown. Sillage and longevity? Never an issue with this house apparently.

    Civet and lots of civet, that's what I get out of this fragrance. Daringly old-fashioned indeed!

    Named Mata Hari, this perfume features a strong blackcurrent note and is primarily floral. I don't particulary associate that note with bygone eras. In fact, it reminds me of my reference redcurrent scent, Aqua Allegoria Grosselina, which came on the scene to rave reviews by fruity fragrance lovers and then disappeared off the radar like so many other AAs. I would expect something more exotic, spicy, dramatic, sensual, and tragic to represent this woman.
