Launched in 2023 by Rosendo Mateu Olfactive Expressions, 1988 is a Woody Aquatic fragrance that captures the essence of a fresh sea breeze.

Application Tips
Two sprays are sufficient to capture the full essence of this fragrance. The dewy and citric top notes fade relatively quickly, but the musky and woody base notes linger throughout the day. It's best worn in cooler weather when the aquatic freshness can be fully appreciated.
