1899 Ernest Hemingway

Inspiration
Night throws its mask over Paris, the City of Light radiating freedom. Artists and writers capture the games of love and seduction in their modern languages, champagne flows over crystal pyramids and the first jazz bands make the café walls tremble. A twirling vanilla plays hide-and-seek with vigorous vetiver. The night belongs to those who know how to live it.

What our ParfuMaria team thinks of this fragrance
1899 takes us to Hemingway's Paris, where writers and artists spent their nights in cafés and the first jazz bands made the walls tremble. The opening is fresh and lively: Italian bergamot, juniper and black pepper, with that dry, gin-like quality of juniper setting a bold accent at once. Then it grows more refined. Orange blossom and Florentine iris give an elegant, lightly powdery softness, and cinnamon keeps it warm. In the base vanilla plays hide-and-seek with vigorous vetiver, and that very tension is the highlight for us. The vetiver stays earthy and woody, while the vanilla gives it a soft, almost velvety sheen, supported by amber. So 1899 is never sweet and never stern, but stylish and a touch nonchalant. We picture it with a tweed jacket, a notebook and a long evening when the conversations matter more than the clock.
