1899 - Perfume

1899 - Oil Review

I am BEGGING for this in EDP form! It is exactly as advertised--like drinking a whisky sour in an ancient dive bar. The kind of dive bar where only locals go to drink, because its furnishings (and menu) have not been updated since the current owner bought it 30+ years ago. Its history is long enough to be murky with questionable lore and legends, and every surface bears some scar or another from the passage of time. This is the fragrance of a place where everybody knows your name, and your order is always simply "the usual".

I want to start with saying I am a bourbon girl that doesn’t shy away from a double oak. I didn’t wear this on because upon first smell the sweetness was overwhelming and then it quickly got covered in smoke. I think this has some potential, but as is-it’s both too sweet AND too smoky. (Maybe it’s someone else’s tea-or maybe i just prefer to drink rather than wear it)

A total Whiskey Bomb

It smells like it's top note: Sweet Whiskey, and that note stays all throughout the time it's on your skin. I didn't like it, personally, but a female friend of mine found it strong, but sweet, and enjoyed it's frutier notes
