Picked up a bottle at the Acca Kappa store in Vegas. This is a solid, masculine fragrance with a spicy, peppery accord. Sillage and longevity are fair to good, and is great for a variety of settings, including the office.

Being an EdC, I gave this due justice. 1869 smells very, very similar to the pimento Gucci pour Homme II and sweeter than Jil Sander for Men. A very nice accord in both of those scents and 1869 does it just as well. Nice, subtle and good.

I came across this in a small niche fragrance shop in Austin, TX and was pleasantly surprised. 1869 is a light, peppery fragrance with melon undertones. It stays close to the skin and lasts longer than your average EdC but doesn't project at all. It's perfect for the office or any other time you want to smell nice without alerting the rest of the world. It's a somewhat unusual accord, and the only thing I've experienced vaguely similar is the lime/pepper accord created by the massive dose of the 'Iso-Super E' in Escentric 01 (by Escentric Molecules). 1869 is much less sharp and tangy than E-01 and not nearly as flagrantly synthetic.

Curiously located somewhere between a timeless fairytale and the mid-1800s, Acca Kappa's 1869 puts me in mind of a Bavarian village of around that date. The Lord descends from his manor; the goose girl blushes but nevertheless gives him an accusing look. Their poetic love child, steeped in mystery and tradition: Acca Kappa 1869. (de Charlus).
