1899 tells of Paris on an evening at the turn of the century: a carefree capital, painters and poets sketching love affairs, champagne coupes stacked into pyramids and, in the cafés, the first notes of jazz making the room vibrate.
Italian bergamot, juniper and black pepper open the composition. Orange blossom, Florentine orris and cinnamon form the heart, before a base where vanilla and vetiver answer each other, resting on amber.

1899 in detail
Histoires de Parfums, a Parisian house founded by Gérald Ghislain, gives its fragrances dates and names that tell stories. 1899 tells of a Parisian evening at the turn of the century: a carefree city, champagne coupes stacked into pyramids, and the first notes of jazz making the cafés vibrate.
The official pyramid opens with Italian bergamot, juniper and black pepper. The heart brings together orange blossom, Florentine orris and cinnamon. In the base, vanilla and vetiver answer each other, resting on amber. The house classes it among woody ambers.
1899 suits autumn and winter, especially in the evening: a dinner, a party, a night at the theatre.
Three amber fragrances in our catalogue come close: Althaïr Exclusif by Parfums de Marly shares bergamot, cinnamon, orange blossom and vanilla; Lettre de Pushkar by Ella K Parfums pairs cinnamon, orange blossom, vetiver and vanilla; Alexandria II by Xerjoff finds cinnamon, amber and vanilla again.
