1920 The Origin

When I see people say "headache inducing", especially about this fragrance, I roll my eyes and move on to another comment. This is a splendid fragrance for men. It is surley and spicey. Dirty whilst being clean. Vengeful while being compassionate. A novice to the fragrance world would turn the nose at this probably. They are not refined yet. It is like wine. When you are young you go for the Boones Farm Strawberry Hill... ugh...savages... As you develop your palate and fully understand the relationship of fragrance to mood, others, and how you can affect the world around you by your scent... then and only then will you understand the POWER this frag has. It is bold, demanding and convincing. This is what a man of trust, dignity and ability to lead will smell like. This can be used in most situations. Not necessarily a date night fragrance but it could be. That depends on IF you have the personality of an alpha male or not. The beta's will go for things like Emeraude or some bubble gum sweet tincture. If you are taking your girl out for italian..this is your frag. If you are raiding an english village.. this is your frag. If you are calling your buddy, Jimbo, over to play jacks and skip rope... this is not your frag. Longevity and Sillage will fall between Moderate and Long Lasting / Strong. Just depends on how much and where you spray. On skin shorter, on clothes longer. If you like Drakkar Noir you will like this.

One of my more (if not most) favorite "Green" fragrances. Like Guerlain Vetiver, it has a more refined air to it, and very well blended. Nothing jumps out offensively, it does not scream, "HEY! Look at me!" or anything of the sorts. That is not to say it is not noticeable, it is just not cloying or a projection monster. It is a friendly introvert! If you want a clean, green, citrus fragrance, this is definitely a no brainer! Not to "bash" on the previous response, there may be slight resemblances to Terre d'Hermes in the later drydown, I can see that with the Cedar/Bergamot. Although, this is definitely its own scent with the Cedar/Tea pairing, Bergamot, and the floral hint I think differentiates it most, Jasmine. Of course there is the sweet spiciness that is ever present from the Cumin, Pepper, and Ambergris to smooth it out. Definitely does not have that nice Vetiver/Cedar and Orange combo that I love so much in the Terre d'Hermes (and kind of the starting base to make it Terre d'Hermes DNA, if you ask me...). My point in saying this? It could definitely contend with the likes of Terre d'Hermes, but it does have its own unique smell, and a fantastic one at that. How many frags with Patchouli in them do not have the Patchouli muscling every other note for its show time on stage? This is a Classical Quartet, where Patchouli tried something new, and not another Jazz performance :).

A very interesting scent, affordable but doesn't smell cheap. Classy all the way. Profile: carries similar DNA of Cartier declaration EDT, however this one has a notable Iso E super note that holds the body of the perfume, the cumin note here is quite smooth, unlike declaration which opens with an intense cumin that persists for the first 20 minutes. To my nose Tous is more interesting. The cardamom is smooth btw, not sharp or annoying. The opening is spicy, cardamom, cumin and bergamot are prominent, slowly they take the back seat as iso e super and tea note emerge, the spices are still there but well blended with other notes. Performance: really great, please allow the perfume to macerate, I used two bottles, maceration did a huge job, just waste 10 sprays and put it away for a month or two and try again! It lasts good 6 to 7 hours easily. Lingers on clothes. I get whiffs of it next day on shirts. Masculine, summer/ spring scent, I wouldn't wear it in cold weather. Good signature scent. Recommended for men over 28. Most summer scents are fleeting and lack performance, this one can put an end to your search for something reliable. The bottle is beautiful. Sprayer is awesome. A very beautiful well rounded experience from start to finish. You need to like cardamom and cumin to like it.

TOUS 1920 The Origin unfolds as a splendid tapestry, a fragrance bespoke for milder climes. Unlike scents tethered to the maritime during warmer days, this essence finds its sanctuary in a botanical haven or the cool solace of woodland retreats. It shies away from scorching heat, seeking companionship in temperatures ranging from 60 Fahrenheit to the gentle, low non-humid 80s. A verdant essence graces this creation, akin to Jacques Fath's green water, yet lacking the serenity of that timeless beauty. Cardamom's gentle creaminess and grainy allure are present, accompanied by a distinct cumin nuance, not as brassy as the cumin of Quorum or Eucris when they are enjoyed in the cooler seasons. The popular opinion on the comeliness of these bottles is valid... they embody beauty. Acknowledged is the subjective nature of this frag's reception, varying on individual skin and fragrance palettes. For enthusiasts of savory tea-infused fragrances in warmer months, this might be an aromatic win. As the fragrance swiftly matures, a personal and delightful linger unfolds. Initial "outside" projection captivates for 45 minutes to an hour, yet thereafter, it retreats intimately close to the skin. A modest rating, 6.9 on this one.

I can't get enough of this fragrance! Literally, because it doesn't stick around for very long. I wish it did. This one could have been a signature fragrance. It brings back so many fond memories, with its sweaty cumin, and fresh wood-shavings. I know this scent well. I took every shop-class that was available in high school, and soon thereafter graduated to "head letter router" at the state pen. I made wooden signage for the state parks and rest stops. Aah, the memories.... All sweet and no bitter. If only the real world were that simple. What I smell: A cedar-wood sauna. Thick chaparral, baking in the summer sun. The inside of Trigger after a cross country tour. What she smells: The ambrosial man-funk of a day laborer's crew neck T. Her extemporaneous remarks: "quit asking me to smell things". Fragrances this fragrance would wear if it weren't already a fragrance: Montblanc Starwalker, Reflection Man by Amouage, Bois du Home Depot. Conclusion: This states on the bottle that it's an EDP, but it's performance is not convincing. I only wish it had the longevity and sillage to match it's evocative scent. Easy blind buy if you know the name of Willie Nelson's guitar.

I found this guy for a steal at TJ Maxx. Recognized the name and did a little search being it was a blind buy. Just from the bottle design I was a bit worried this was going to smell dated but no. The opening is incredible and the bergamot is beautiful and the cardamom pokes its head just through enough to spice it up. It's certainly isnt linear as you get a really nice masculine drydown with a big boost of cedar and patchouli, an extremely masculine scent. Very, very good. One thing that throws me off though. The mix of scents in this really reminds me of Al Haramains L'Aventure. I feel crazy just typing that looking at the notes, but that's what I get. They do share Jasmine, Wood, Bergamont and Patchouli. So maybe not to odd to smell a similarity. Overall, this is a great one. For me it's a love it! Edit: 3 sprays @ 730am. 4 comments before noon. Two of which said, you smell like a pine tree. I mean, pine trees smell nice right? So is it a lady killer? No, but it will get noticed. I'd say it took this one a solid 6 hours to become a skin scent. Still was there, faint but there 11 hours later. Was not expecting that.

Tous 1920 is like nothing else. It is unique in every sense of the word. Up there^^^, in the "This perfume reminds me of ..." section, "reminds" can be the only defining factor. This may "remind" you of something, but it smells completely different from anything, and I mean anything, I have ever put my nose on. And I would wager to guess that it's all because of the cumin mixing with the tea. Additionally, it has a slight boozy vibe to it, but not at all like you had just poured a snifter and gathered in the aroma. It's raw, yet refined. It's piquant, but not pungent. For lack of a better term, it's rather yummy! Women love it. My co-workers love it. My wife loves it, and I love it! You simply can't go wrong here. There is only ONE drawback. It has moderate projection and sillage. As good as this smells, I would like it to be just a bit stronger, but that's no reason to pull a point from it's rating. This one is a LOVE all the way!

Chef’s kisses all round! Mpwuh mpwuh mpwuh! You can totally go ham on this motherjammer! It is work safe (got a slew of compliments today at work and people asking what it was). So far my new bottle has disappointing longevity. Let it macerate if you can, and see if it gets better. If someone notices it, they’ll like it. I frickin’ love it. It was an instant love. It’s really well blended and basically a blue collar Cartier Declaration. I have smelled all of the Declaration flankers and this beats em’ all by a lot. One of the best blind buys EVER! I’ll be buying a backup bottle for sure. I never want to be without this. Update: I didn’t buy a second bottle, but I still like it. My wife doesn’t love it on me. Oh well. I’m still keeping it.

I have a bottle of rather new formulation of Declaration Essence Cartier and this to me a more cardamom forward version of it in opening. It maintains the same tea cardamom smoothness of it. I like both. Once they settle down, this has jasmine that start to dance and DE stays the same as opening. Also I agree with @Jerre -- not sure how this can cause headache because it is silky smooth. Similar to DE, I would say this is a very unisex fragrance. P.S. this becomes a more interesting fragrance in dry-down compared to DE. DE stays very similar to its opening but this evolves to a more interesting scent with cedar, patchouli, and ambergris.

-It's not totally common/generic or whatever they call it. -Price is affordable and it does hv that niche vibe. -Cumin is well constructed and not overwhelming. -Sillage 2-3 feet when stationary, it can be more especially in A/C environment. -Projection 1-2hrs but the more u perspire it will projects. -Longevity 6-8hrs, others will smell it even if u don't. -Drydown = Manly+Elegant+Charming+Modern, Looove it. -Wearabilty = Casual to formal. To my humble & rookie opinion. *Could be yr Signature scent. *Fit in the 10-Fragrance-for-life. *Unforgettable scent Dun blind buy but do try it out, really try it out!!!

This is a beautifully blended perfume with a fresh and sophisticated aroma. It has a little alcoholic vibe, raw and sophisticated. It's tart yet not overpowering. It has a light to medium sillage and projection. Fresh citrus with spicy undertones will be present at first. Cumin will become more subdued in the middle and give way to cedar in the conclusion. Sweet and spicy describe it. despite being clean, dirty. sympathetic despite being vengeful. It is audacious, insistent, and compelling. Overall, great!

I'm a woman and I find this actually perfectly unisex. There is a floral heart to it. I really like it for the summer or whenever I want a fresh uplift but still has some chewy body to it. Also very inexpensive and a great deal. Wish the longevity was a bit better but it's not terrible especially with the citrus notes. If you are a woman who's into "masculine" scents - which I would argue all perfumes are unisex though but that that's a different conversation- you should check this out. 9/10

I see some folks complaining about the performance, i'm into my 3rd bottle inspite of the busy rotation, I know this fragrance intimately. If you got it recently please allow it to mature, waste 10 sprays and put it aside for a month or two, it DOES change! The performance is really good. Easily 5 to 6 hours on skin, longer on clothes. Do this with every perfume. And when you wear it, give your self 10 to 14 sprays for a proper wear.

This kind of easy going classic classy scent. The opening is so fresh Limon/neroli kind of smell, then the notes of cardamom and cumin together gives kind of cooling effect, which is unusual! I'm usually not a fan of cumin note, but here it's blended so will. I work most of the time in office, and I find this to be totally office friendly even with 8-10 sprays. My signature!

Tous 1920 is a clean and classy scent, a very well blended perfume. At the beginning you will get a fresh citrus with a spicy notes, in the middle you will notice the cumin, at the end cumin will tamed down and you will get the cedar. The only down side for me is the performance, i only get 3+ hours before it going to skin scent.

Absolutely a beautiful fragrance! At first spray it immediately reminded me of Declaración de Cartier...But then it starts changing into something I would want to bathe myself in! it's delicious! At some stage Flora Botánica from Balenciaga comes to my mind. This is definitely a BIG yes and love for me!

Bought by my girlfriend last night after she found out i am into fragrance collection. The opening is has a strong sweet ginger.. after few minute a soft aroma of powderish tea start to sift in. After that, talcum like powder is the last dry down. A good try for EDP release.

Simply divine. Smells like ambrosia and I don't mean the fruit salad; nectar of the gods. I'm surprised there isn't neroli in the notes. This is VERY well blended juice. Cannot recommend this enough. The citrus top notes are amazing. SO CHEAP too. Just buy it.

It smells like opening of CK one without any flowery or Narciso Rodriguez for Him Bleu Noir. it's soapy and clean. very classic and I love this. budget friendly and compliment magnet as well. not much to fail for smelling around for others.

Why no noise on this fragrance? That so good I use in my office and get a lot of compliments. Start loving it from my first sniff and recommend who would smell liked gentleman in modern style.
