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.

Citrus cumin/pencil shavings and Cedar as a drydown. This is a fantastic scent the wafts are undeniable. Get it, just get it......Declaration/Michael Kors Extreme Night I believe.

Wow!!! Just wow!!! Elegance, class. Devine cardamom. Excellent dry down. Signature worthy. Perfect for office. Optimum in fall.

So in my review of Cartier Declaration I mentioned that I liked the musky masculine base but not the very prominent iris scent (don't like iris). I had hoped to find something similar without the iris. A FB of 1920 has been sitting on my shelf for several months, a result of padding an order for free shipping. Imagine my surprise at first time try yesterday. It is that Declaration masculine base without the iris. What I wanted was on my shelf all this time. Awesome! To be clear, this is a cumin dominant fragrance. It's not, however, a BO sweaty armpit smell. The cumin is well blended with the other notes to make a really nice masculine fragrance that has zero sweetness. Definitely not one for the cotton candy callants and bubblegum boys. Regarding performance, I'd rate it as a strong EDT even though it's an EDP and does require more sprays. I gave myself 10 sprays. It gave good sillage and projection (about arms length) for about an hour and then retreated to a more intimate scent bubble. Longevity was about 8 hours on skin, longer on clothes. Nice surprise for me and a good value. Glad I already have a FB.

Had this as my go to for years (2019-2022) until they changed the formulation. I might have a bad batch, but the scent profile changed dramatically at least to my nose. The older batches smelled more spicy and heavy, unlike the newer ones which smelled more green and fresh. It's not a bad scent; the fragrance's foundation is still the same, but unfortunately due to the reformulation, I find the projection and performance went in the wrong direction. With the old batch, I remembered having someone tell me that they knew I was coming because they smelled my fragrance BEFORE I came. I can't say the same for the newer batches. Now, I use this sporadically mostly when I go out during the day. One thing I still love about this frag, batches, and performance aside, is that this is a relatively safe fragrance. I can rock it during any weather, day or night. Wish they reformulate to make it perform better.

1920: The Origin is a nice quiet masculine perfume that is ideal for the office because of its modesty and versatility. It doesn't project heavily, but you do know it's there, and its notes are of the quieter sort: cardamon and cedar dominate for me, with tea and (a little) black pepper to give it more flavor, and just a little bergamot to stop it from being too arid (though it is one of the drier perfumes I've tried). There's cumin, but not nearly enough to make it unpleasantly animalic, or really to justify the comparisons below to Cartier's Declaration, which is greatly more cumin-forward and also much juicier. This can be worn in any season, even summer, and day or night. It would make a great inexpensive gift, too. As silly as the AI comments are lifted above, I do like the one that reads "Friendly introvert" among the "pros" for the fragrance. That to me is a good description of this.

There is no doubt this has Declaration to thank for it's inspiration. In fact, you could sum this up as a Zara clone of Declaration...meaning it retains the main notes but doesn't have the complexity. But it is a bit more than that...it isn't as spicy or complex as Declaration, but seems to use more Iso-E Super than Declaration. I'll do some side by side comparisons as I am a Declaration junkie. EDIT: I did a side by side comparison. The Origin is less spicy and has more citrus and cedar (due to the Iso-E Super). In Declaration the spices are more pronounced..namely the cumin, ginger, and cardamom, and a leather accord is detectable. If the spiciness and cumin of the Declaration line turns you off, take a look at The Origin. If you want something a little more unisex that tones down the cedar but retains the ginger, look at the excellent Zizonia by Penhaligon's

Upon initial spray, I wasn't impressed. It seemed an odd smell to my nose. Fast forward a couple hours later.... I was getting these wafts of amazingness following me around. This stuff is great. Just took me a minute to appreciate it. I used to get small spoonfuls of Tang out of the jar and eat it sometimes when I was a little kid. I liked it because it had a zing to it. This fragrance has a zing to it as well but won't rot your teeth (I don't think). It's a unique and beautiful scent that, for me, is dominated by citrus, tea, pepper and a little cumin and cedar (I think). I don't have anything else like this. The price is right as well.

شروع عطر شباهت بسیار زیاد ای به دکلریشن داره .همون بوی هِل و زیره با اجرایی نسبتا تند و تیز تر هِل پررنگ تر از زیره کار شده و کمی هم حس و حال دودی داره فضای چوبی عطر که آمیخته با ادویه هاست از همون ابتدا حس میشه و گرم و گیرا کار شده روی پوست تغییرات خیلی زود اتفاق می‌افته پرفورمنس عطر روی پوست من یک ساعت موثر بود و چند ساعت هم به صورت چسبیده به پوست بدون پخش بوی خاص ای جریان داشت اما روی پیراهن به مراتب ماندگار تره نت های پایانی عطر حضور روایح گُلی رو هم نشون میده که بعد از آروم شدن ادویه هاست اما کم جون و ضعیف شده دیگه خوش بو اما کم جون ************* scent:8/10 longevity:6.5/10 sillage:6/10 purchase value:3/10 ******* overall:5.9/10

This one intrigues me, I bought it blind from TKMaxx since there wasn't any way to test, and it was just £15! Judging by the notes I liked what I saw from the inclusion of tea, black pepper and cedar. And much to my surprise this one comes off right away as a smooth, floral, fresh wear... has some spicy nuance to it as well - I quite like it! And there's definitely a cumin lurking there but it's not a 'right out of the jar,' 'musty BO' kind' - it rounds everything together and harmonises the florals and the spices rather well. It feels like more of a spring time wear, has this sort of water hitting flowers during a spring rain vibe.

Not bad. This one is in your face a classic lavender-free aftershave (with an emphasis on aftershave functionality, not wearing fragrance as such). Cumin is present, but nothing serious, because in between it is alleviated by the interesting scent of white flowers. Dry-down is the best part with an interesting patchouli tone. This is a quality classic men's fragrance, but at the same time nothing special. The price is low, it could be more expensive for what you get. The bottle has a fantastic look.

I am a lady in my thirties, and I always lean towards fragrances with cardamom and wood, which are mostly masculine. My recent collection includes Narciso Rodriguez for Him Bleu Noir Narciso Rodriguez Energetically New York Zara (haven't tried Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb and Salvador Dali Sunrise in Cadaques Pour Homme) and this is for me. Although the cumin has its peaks sometimes, I find this exactly to my taste. Seems to last at least three hours, because that's when I had my feedback.

The dry down on this was mighty fine and it actually is quite unique. Nothing smells exactly like it even if some parallels can be made. The cumin is interesting and quite apparent which to my Western nose is a bit much and is reminiscent of BO but because it is offset by other notes and then dries down into something that smells so nice, I still enjoy this fragrance. Update: This smelled great on paper. Smells decent on skin several hours later but imo a little much cumin.

Lemon-cedar, sherbet, aromatic, a little powdery, clean, dry, sweet. I love the scenting gives off though, when I place my nose to skin, or, If I over spray it smells like lemon scented fly spray. Maybe I have an aversion to the cumin scent? I hear that some people are put off by it? It is a mature manly scent, I think of a man in a woolen turtleneck. I do like it the more I wear it. My wife loves the scent; she loves lemons!

It ́s very very close to Declaration from Cartier, I think just a LITTLE bit "modern". In the same way Declaration, Dunhill Icon and this Tous 1920. Orangie, woody, fresh, green. I prefer Dunhill because it doesen't have that woody note that to my nose smells like a pencil. Longevity 8/10 Sillage 8.5/10 } Not to good for an eau de parfum Smell 8.5/10 For me it's a good fragance.

It’s compared to Terre D’Hermès, and I can smell it. But instead of being a cheap imitation, it has its own thing going on. I like the well-blended black pepper. This could be a nice Terre D’Hermès flanker.

Nice, simple, fresh with a bit of depth. Nothing groundbreaking but a very nice and pleasant freshy with a twist thanks to the cardamon and pepper. It is a crowdpleaser!

This is a nice fresh and spicy scent. Definitely similar to Declaration de Cartier, but after a while I get a sunscreen nivea cream smell.

Tried at store, smelled like moscow mule (mostly smelled ginger and some citrus). Very pleasant.

Not bad male's fragance in todays's trend,nothing original either

In full disclosure, I have an issue with rose notes. This is important because this one has rose in it even if rose isn't in the formal list (for the record, this is extremely common, as many fragrances contain dozens to over 100 component elements). On opening, this is a pencil cedar and cumin uppercut, with rose and tea in second position, and just a hint of bergamot, leather and amber. There is no way that this contains actual ambergris - and labdanum, which is a rockrose extract that mimics ambergris, would also explain the rose essence, as well as the honey and leathery tones that lurk beneath the surface of this fragrance. Perhaps it is the labdanum/cumin/rose that gives rise to the Cartier Declaration comparisons (and to my mind, closer comparisons to Baldessarini Ultimate). It also has some significant similarities to the 1970's female classic Cinnabar. This is an impressive, classy, masculine and somewhat old-school composition, and I generally love fragrances that contain such adjectives. But that rose/cumin thing drops half a star off of my rating. If you like these elements, get some decants of this and the Baldessarini Ultimate and see which one you like better. I disagree with the comments that say that this is weak. With six sprays to the chest/undershirt, I get a solid 5 - 6 hours of wafts. It isn't a projection beast, but this isn't the type of fragrance that shouts for attention anyway. I do not see this as especially versatile, nor as a signature scent, because there is a density to this that would wear on me if worn more than occasionally. I will probably decant 20ml of this and swap the bottle for something more in my wheelhouse.

I had very high hopes for this - I've been on a cumin trip lately, and thought this would scratch an itch. There is nothing wrong with this perfume - it's a decent perfume. I'd have said it was good if I'd never smelled Déclaration EDT, but it simply pales with regard to that - it is simpler, and there is less of the "shimmer" or "dance" that great perfumes like Déclaration give. It's much weaker too - you only catch it when you decide to catch it, nose to wrist. The cumin is good - by that I mean it's unashamedly present - but short lived and not particularly carnal (but nor is it sanitised away, as in, say, African Leather - it's a good compromise for the cumin-anxious). Where Déclaration pairs it with tingling citrus, here a very authentic wood is its partner, perhaps akin to the straight up and down wood in Quorum Silver. This part of the scent is more durable. Overall, you might actually really want a cumin that does what it should but without the skank, and you might prefer wood to citrus. This is _not_ a bad scent. It's just that once you have embraced Déclaration, it seems to me to be a little thin.

Aromatic, fresh and spicy. Opens fresh, aromatic and green. Has some citrus, maybe some pine/juniper notes? Becomes sparkling, spicy and with some vetiver. Then it's a little airy. Drydown is spicy (pepper) with conifer-wood aromas and musk. Smells masculine, more mature smelling, ages 25-65(ish.) More of a day scent but fine all year, and at the office. Would work well in the heat. Performance is ok; projection average, longevity as a skin scent is 6-8hrs. (I tried this a few years ago and felt like it performed better. Not sure if I sprayed a lot more back then though?) Overall it's ok and I could see it growing on me with regular wear.

To me this doesn't have any complexity, it just smells like sprite (or moscow mule like the reviewer below said). Its funny how sometimes you associate fragrances to familiar smells and then you can't smell anything but that. Good for the price, inoffensive, but doesn't last at all on me. Can't smell it after 2 hours, even on clothes.

Not an instant like, as I thought the cumin was a bit strong at first. A year later, not sure if the bottle has changed or my nose has, but I think it’s gorgeous. This is smooth, spicy cedar with florals.

#686 in my "Tour de Fragrance" The advantage of this Tous fragrance, which is sold as but is not remotely EDP strength, is that it outlasts the Tous EDTs. That's not a compliment. Their performance is right at the bottom like a fraiche. This at least performs like a typical $20 EDT. So at least you get what you paid for. It's not a bad note combination. Launched in 2017 I would say it was long out of date many decades ago, but maybe they were actually trying for a scent from 1920. The bergamot-cardamom opening is fine, but nothing special. The dry down is barely woody. You pick up the hint of patchouli, the astringence of tea and a wisp of jasmine. Most resembles Atelier Philtre Ceylan. Again, not a compliment. I wouldn't give you fifty cents for any Atelier cologne. I'm astonished anyone pays a $100+ for a bottle of that scented water. Projection from this about the length of your hand. No one will know you're wearing this that isn't nose to skin an hour after you apply it, so why bother? It's cheap and performs like it. If you want something in this freshie scent ballpark, maybe give Narciso Rodriguez Bleu Noir a shot. It's a little more than double the price of this scent. There are other blues I prefer but that are way more pricey. Blue Noir is kinda this scent without the cardamom, more crisp and citrusy, and it performs like an EDP should. Good Luck and Good Hunting!

I hope it'll grow on me but right now the cumin plus cardamom and pepper is a dealbreaker. It's a great composition overall and I really want to love it but the cumin is WAY too animalic for my nose. I feel like the BO vibe becomes even more intense next to the other spices and.... it just smells like sweat on my skin... and not the good kind... the embarrassed-to-be-in-a-room-with-myself kind. Hidden behind that is a wonderfully warm, sexy scent that reminds me of an old office or library. But every time you take a sniff the cumin hits you right in the face and you wonder if you forgot to put on deodorant (or if there's an unshowered librarian hiding somewhere behind the next shelf) Edit: Since it's so inexpensive I decided to hold on to the bottle but I simply cannot get used to it. I keep coming back in hopes that my nose will start to associate the smell with something different but nope... intense pheromone-y BO Also: It seems to be very concentrated and leaves an oily film on my skin. If you like the cumin, I'd say that's a good thing.

Goes on with a big alcohol heavy spray of fresh airy bergamot and a green tea sort of note. Quickly fades to a mild smoky cumin and cedar spice. 1920 is extremely light and faint, there's no projection or silage to speak of here. There's also an underlying nostril burning hairspray smell I'd blame on the strong alcohol base. If I smell it close to my skin, like right now on my hand to write this review, it's headache inducing. 1920 isn't exactly refreshing but it's not horrendous either, there are far worse out there. For the price though you'd expect better than this when there are numerous $10-$20 fragrances that outperform and outshine 1920 by a wide margin. I'll keep my bottle lying around in hopes it'll change with age and become something worth wearing, as of right now though I have no desire to wear this. I'd say this is something to pass over unless you try it first and it really grabs you.

It started with a pretty sweet but also natural bergamot. Then, the pepper became very distinctive. After that I mostly just smelled pepper with a bit of cumin and a drop of citrusy aftertaste. Then, after the pepper finally calmed down, it transformed into green tea scented cleaner. You know how people usually complain about the "cleaner" experience with citruses - it was the same, but green. Like a bathroom freshener called "Green Meadows" or something. The price is undeniably good, but for me it isn't worth the price (and I love peppery scents).

Another fragrance with an amazing scent profile with terrible performance. I need 8 sprays of this for it to be noticeable and it only lasts 1- 1 1/2 hours on my skin. This is what I wore in the spring and I had to apply so much and reapply it to where my bottle is half empty. I guess the only other positive thing I could say is that it will get you compliments, but at what cost?

I really wanted to love this one. (I'm on an aromatic kick right now.) But the cumin in this one turns into a BO armpit BOMB on me and stays that way for the entire wear. It makes me smell as though I haven't taken a shower in days and ran a marathon in between. Such a shame. If your chemistry works well with cumin, you'll probably do well with it. But if it doesn't, I would definitely test before buying. It's a big bottle, so I ended up giving it away. Couldn't wear it.
