1940 by Besame Cosmetics: A Return to the Golden Age
In the world of perfumery, where new brands emerge every day, Besame Cosmetics stands out not only for its unique fragrances, but for an entire philosophy of time travel.
Founded in 2014, this American perfume house offers more than just perfumes—it offers portals to the past. One of its most striking examples is 1940, launched in 2014.
This feminine composition from the Floral and Fougère families transports us to the atmosphere of New York jazz clubs in the 1940s.
History and Inspiration
The 1940s were a challenging yet incredibly stylish time. The war had ended, but its echoes could still be heard.
It was then that legendary jazz clubs flourished on 52nd Street in New York, with their performances broadcast across America. Besame Cosmetics set out to capture this atmosphere in a fragrance.
1940 is an olfactory portrait of that era: a blend of elegance, passion, and subtle melancholy.
The composition was created by renowned perfumer Gabriela Hernandez, who masterfully conveyed the spirit of the time.
Positioning and Character
This fragrance is for women who appreciate vintage aesthetics and want to stand out. Feminine, yet bold and rich enough to make an impression.
The trail is very strong, so be prepared for compliments to come your way. In an eau de parfum concentration, it offers excellent longevity.
Perfect for evenings out, romantic dates, or special occasions when you want to feel like the heroine of an old film.
