Launched in 2013 by Xerjoff and crafted by Karine Vinchon-Spehner, 1888 is a complex Oriental Floral fragrance that balances warmth and freshness. The composition opens with a bright yet spicy blend of pepper and coriander, which cuts through the rich, amber base notes of sandalwood and patchouli. At its heart, carnation and rose introduce an unexpected floral softness, while ylang-ylang adds depth and warmth. This fragrance is neither traditionally masculine nor feminine, instead offering a nuanced blend that reads as sophisticated and versatile.

Application Tips
Apply this fragrance in moderation — two sprays are enough to capture its full complexity. The spicy top notes dissipate quickly, making way for the warm amber base that lasts throughout the day.

The story behind the bottle.
A dimly lit study where the warmth of leather-bound books mingles with the subtle spiciness of saffron and pepper, creating a cocoon of sensory richness.
