1899 was the first scent I tried from Scentbird. I enjoy the smell. It is too early for me to rate anything but a 3. Edit: After using this scent for a few weeks I’ve learned I need to reapply it every 4 hours or so. I would like it to be a little stronger. Four sprays in the morning during my routine (2 neck and 1 each wrist). Asking coworkers about the pungency, it seems that this scent doesn’t knock people over, which is a goody thing. A good, but shuttle smell.

I really enjoyed this fragrance! It's very similar to V&R Spicebomb. Definitely get the cinnamon and pepper notes. Can't wait to try the rest of this fragrance house. Would recommend this as a Fall/Winter, date night fragrance.

Love this perfume! It's a complex, spicy scent that is not overpowering.

I know what the descriptions and notes say but for me this was very bland and uninteresting. Nothing to make me want to come back to it.

Not impresssionable.

by far the wtf is this

This is so warm and hits your nose just right! After having a child, my scent preference did a 180 and all the fragrances I used to love, I found revolting. I noticed I was now drawn towards, dry, peppery, woodsy ones. This one checks nearly all the boxes and it still has a lovely sweetness to it

This is sweet and slightly spicy. I can't think of any other scent like it.

I adore this spicy, amazing scent. It lasts quite a long time on me and it settles into something very cozy. This is a Fall/Winter scent for me but I'd wear it all year if I could.

I LOVE this scent! It's peppery and enticing and lasts forever! I got so many complements wearing it, and I couldn't stop my smile every time I got a whiff of it on me.

I really didn't like the smell of this perfume. It's just my opinion, not my cut of tea for sure. Different strokes I suppose

I love rhis accent it. It smells like the woods after a spring rain.

so interesting.. so unique..

Received my bottle today and love it. Very unique fragrance. I will save it for special occasions.

If you're looking for a spicy date night perfume, look no further. The main note that stays while its fresh and once dried is the black pepper. When fresh its a little sweet/citrusy as well from the juniper, but once dried it spices right back up with the other note being cinnamon. I'm always afraid to try spicy/date night type perfumes for fear of them being too mature for someone in their 20's, but this one is perfect and I'm so happy I tried it.

This scent feels like a romantic date night. A little gourmand, a little spicy, and not too sweet.

My fiance can't get enough of it when I wear this perfume. It's woodsy and refreshing in a world of vanilla/citrus perfumes.

This is my first review, and I didn't intend to use language like that, but after spraying this, I felt extremely sexy. I am a man and my girlfriend loves this. It smells elegant and reserved. The spices really lead the pack here, but everything blends in a way I lack the vocabulary to describe. I can only really describe the vibe I got from it. And that is like a film noir character about to seduce someone for a lead. 100% try it.

This is the best fragrance by far that I've had the pleasure to enjoy not to mention those that are in my 50 ft of space that agree this fragrance really smells good and it also helps me make a good first impression. I also love it because it can be worn anytime of day for any occasion!

Wow. This is really a unique and gorgeous scent. Spicy and a tad sweet, effervescent, and richly layered. I couldn't be more thrilled, I've loved several of the perfumes I've gotten through Scentbird but this is my favorite.

22 year old female here. I was expecting this to smell very nice but I'm really surprised HOW nice it smells and how age appropriate it still is. It has the light spiciness to it with a backing of light sweetness and definitely isn't "old lady". It smells like a date night that ends with sitting by a fireplace reading together! Cozy, warm and a little spicy. LOVE it (and my boyfriend does too)

My work people grabbed me and hugged me said my scent was intoxicating! I like this in a scent! I have ordered 8 scents so far and this is the first that got that reaction. It’s warm and spicy and I like it a lot! Even when I think it’s gone, someone commented on the scent, it was there.

It smelled disgusting

Super sexy smells nice and masuline I love it

Pleasant scent but nothing unusual or memorable

Exactly what is described! Changes as the day goes on and personalizes itself to your own body. Just beautiful!

Just didn't care for it, strange odor.

This is a wonderful winter scent and my husband LOVES it. So do I! Great find!

I love the scent, it's sweet, and spicy a little woodsy all at the same time. Sadly last on me from my bedroom to my car and it's gone.

I love the feminine scent this gives off...but I'll admit I'm old soul and love bygone eras

Long lasting, great scent.

...of my grandmother wearing faux fur scarves and smoking Virginia slims from a cigarette holder while sitting in a diner people watching in Paris. It's a nice scent, but I'm not mature enough for it, yet.

Opens with a little bit of citrus freshness. That wore down pretty quick and the base was an ever changing cascade of pepper and spice. Late into the drydown it turned into a powdery, cinnamon/vanilla which I actually didn’t hate. It lasted all day on me at work but I didn’t not get very good projection. Overall I’m happy with it. It’s a nice cozy fragarance on a relaxing fall day or out around town in a casual setting.

While scentbird has this listed as uni-sex, on the actual website, it's listed as a male scent. That being said, I do think it works for either. When you first spray it, there is a strong woodsy/cedar smell. After a few moments and throughout the day, I pick up the vanilla notes. It smells soft as it wears. I've received several compliments. It is strong and lasts long on me, so I am using it as a fall/winter scent. I live in FL and it would be WAY TOO HEAVY FOR FLORIDA SUMMER. I would definitely order again and would recommend to someone who likes to different and complex scents.

I'm very impressed with HISTOIRES DE PARFUMS 1899, has a unique and very sweet scent. Smells great, this will be a great addition to my collection, thanks!

Really spicy smell, very warm. Might be a little strong immediately after putting it on but it seems to lighten up throughout the day.

The scent is nice, but I wish it had a bid more projection and legs.

I didn't like this perfume as it had notes of things I didn't like. I did not have this in my queue.

Smells like shit

Love the blend of spicy vanilla. It starts spicy at first then a beautiful warm spicy vanilla. I will be using this for the fall and winter season.

It may be the best scent to usher in autumn

This was not for me. I tried it one time and had to wash it off.

I like it. Its different and still sexy.

This is one that I may turn into my signature scent. It’s different than anything I’ve smelled before. I recently discovered that I adore scents that lean a little masculine but are definitely feminine at the same time, and this is it

This was the worse smelling perfume ever. It smelted like the wooden bedding in a hamsters cage. I would give this a 0 star if I could.

I enjoyed this scent the moment I got it. It does start strong,but then mellows out and leaves a pleasant scent al day with a few sprays. Everyone mentions the vanilla and cinnamon which I can definitely detect. I’ve gotten nothing but compliments when worn. This is a spicy scent for sure but a pleasant one in my opinion. Looking forward to trying Histoires other offerings.

Very nice for cooler weather, in my opinion. Makes me think of a fresher spicebomb.

Love the scent. Classy yet not overwhelming. Very masculine

Has a very spiced/sweet scent. A little too sweet for me though.

too sweet for me

I’m floored at how much this reminds me of spice***, yet has its own characteristic differences. Comes on strong but mellows out quickly to a more subtle, enjoyable scent. Not an everyday scent as far as I’m concerned, but rather something put to use when you want to make a statement.

This is NOT for those who don’t like complicated, intense scents. This is a statement scent. Reminiscent of “Spice Bomb” but with a sophisticated feminine twist. This is a long lasting perfume that will linger after you leave. This is the kind of perfume your lover would smell on an item of your clothing you left behind.

Way too spiced...bordered on medicinal. No wonder people carried around snuff boxes in those days if this is what everyone smelled like.

Deliciously spicy and smoky. A softer, more feminine equivalent to Baux by L'Occitane.

This scent is so rich and calming. It reminds me of the best library book smell. Great evening perfume. Lasts a very long time.

I didn't care for this one. There was a licorice undertone to it that was both sweet and floral. I didn't care for that. Not long lasting enough to suit me, I had to reapply several times through my workday.

I absolutely loved this scent. I love to wear Burberry Brit for her with it, because it is quite spicy. But it also mellows out on its own. It reminds me of SJP Stash but slightly more dark notes. Occasionally I think it’s going to turn powdery on me but it immediately shifts into a nice vanilla musk. A really lovely scent!

Smells awesome !!! Love

Love this!!!!

GREAT SMELL!! ONE OF MY FAVORITES SO FAR

Wonderful, crisp scent. One of my favorite colognes

I have been sending messages that this HISTORIES DE PERFUMS is empty. The container it came in was stained and saturated with a perfume. Although I love the scent of the perfume but I was not able to use it due to being spilled into the container.

This perfume reminds me of the holidays! Lol I love it! I’ve tried it before and loved it and I’m still in love with this scent. It’s warm, sophisticated, cultured, and more of a fall/winter perfume. I don’t care, I’m still going to wear it now I’m the summer! :)

The scent is bold yet feminine. Wore it daily, was consistently complimented...

this fragrance was a little heavy for the summer and had very musky masculine notes.

It’s a very sensual fragrance. At first spray you get a heavy dose of cinnamon and black pepper. The juniper starts to creep in as it first starts to dry down. I really don’t get the smell of jasmine in this. After half an hour, you start to get just a little dab of vetiver and then you get a nice dose of vanilla in an excellent way to finish the touch on the dry down. This fragrance is compared to Spicebomb Extreme, which I love more in my opinion. This fragrance is a more heavier and niche version of it. Nonetheless, it’s a great buy!

I love it so much I have more in my queue already and although the bottle price is really steep, I am thinking of buying one. This is a very woodsy, sexy, date night perfume in my opinion. I wish I could vote on it! Not the votes I intended to place, only the last two are ones I placed.

I want to love this spicy scent, but for some reason it's giving me old lady vibes instead of sexy spicy. Not a huge fan

Reminds me of spicebomb but not an exact clone. Has its own niche quality & lasts longer than SB. One to definitely get your nose on if you're into spicy frags or spicebomb. Projection & sillage is strong for the first 3 to 4 hours but then it becomes a skin scent but lasts longer on clothes. Nothing groundbreaking but definitely a keeper!

I really did not like this scent at all. It really just did not smell good in my opinion.

I enjoyed the soft smell of it. It didn't knock my husband over with the strong smell of it

This fragrance smelled exactly how I anticipated- a little musky, but not so intense it smelled unisex. It was more overpowering when I first put it on, but dries down to a subtle, sexy scent. Love!

Perfect for anytime. If you love spicebomb you will love 1899.

This is a very nice and long lasting scent for nights and dates. If you like spicebomb then you would love this. It is for sure bottle worthy.

it was nice not my fav though

This is my favorite scent in quite some time. I love how heady and romantic it is!

Histoires de Parfums 1899 has great scent complexity in a wonderful way. With subtle undertones, it makes an ordinary day elegant!

1899 is sexy stuff. Definitely unisex...I would love to smell this on my hubs. The juniper note is prominent on my skin, with the cinnamon and pepper in the background. It's a bit loud right after spraying, but settles down nicely in the drydown. Longevity is excellent too; I get 6-8 hours. This works best for me in the fall and winter....I think it would be a bit much in heat and humidity. LOVE IT!!!

It was good strong scent at first but then softens during the day, one does gets good complements. I like it.

smells great

Smells.. very sweet. Almost musky once I put it on, composition changed quickly on my skin. Not my favorite

This is like Spicebomb for grownups. A more mature scent that is really good--if you like it spicy. If not, stay away. Doesn't push out like SB, but lasts longer with better than average longevity on my skin. Seems more appropriate for warmer temps than SB. Most importantly, my wife liked it a lot! All that being said, probably not full bottle worthy to me.

Too much for me

I love this scent. It’s a perfect mix of notes I enjoy in cologne. I actually like that it’s kinda androgynous, either man or woman can wear it well.

Great cologne. Not too strong. I use it mostly at work and my coworkers love it

very strong smell not sure how to describe it. Just not the smell for me, it doesnt fit my personality.

Loved it....Smells very musk and masculine...also expansive.

This perfume is so sexy!!! I love it and don’t have to re-apply throughout the day. It’s my favorite so far! 😍

I love this. It is really unique which is what I look for in a fragrance. It starts out spicy but mellows into a softer, more floral, sweeter note. I will definitely put this one my list again or perhaps buy a bottle.

I did not like the spice in it yuk

Originally received this in a Birchbox subscription, absolutely love it when I saw it on Scentbird I had no choice but to add it to my queue.

I did not enjoy this scent. Wish I could return it.

Loved the layers of this scent but the silliage wasn't amazing.

Reminds me of Spicebomb a bit, but does not last as long. It is a very nice scent, easy to wear, but wish it would last longer.

It’s pretty intense in scent, definitely not for everyone. I love it though, it’s a heavy, woody/earthy scent.

This smells like a Grandma from 1889 visited the an old musty library and somehow happened to get covered in pickle juice on the way home. No no and no. Into the trash it went

First I want to thank SCENTBIRD because I got it n 2 days before the date. I love the sent. It reminds me of cedar. Clean smell. I want to keep smelling my wrist 😃 since I can't reach my neck.

It's deep and sweet it has many beautiful layers that take you through the day. I wake up and still smell something wonderful. My husband loves this one on me too. Don't forget to put this one in your queue:)
