1828 EdP

The opening whiff is a sharp, almost peppery rush that settles into something warm and thoughtful—like the first page of a good novel. I’ve worn it three days straight and the dry-down lingers for hours on my scarf, which is exactly what I hoped for from a scent inspired by Verne’s voyages.

Got this for the Jules Verne tie-in alone, and the scent lives up to the adventurous vibe—woody with a sharp, literary edge that lingers for hours. It's a touch pricey for the bottle size, but the storytelling makes it worth the splurge for a collector.

The scent is a bit unusual at first—woody and slightly sharp—but it settles into something really intriguing after about an hour. I've gotten compliments on it, though I wish the longevity were a bit stronger for the price.
