The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A fresh and light fragrance with a concentration of fragrant substances up to 5% according to French standards, giving a feeling of purity and coolness
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The scent of 1863 is shaped as a cohesive olfactory arc, where notes flow without rush and without gaps. The signature of Bourjois is recognizable from the opening to the final trail. No excess details, only what works, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Eau de Cologne sets a balanced rhythm of unfolding.
The internal accord map is driven by these accords: Wood without random overlap. The profile is masculine, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived.
Without strict stage separation the notes arrive together with a soft-dry woody mood: Chypre notes. Here 1 note works as one coherent layer, building clear woody framework that keeps the opening compact and balanced.
The middle and base stages are perceived as a gradual shift without abrupt breaks, which keeps the fragrance coherent.
From the group perspective the profile is anchored in Wood and Floral. From a family perspective the composition sits in Chypre.
Overall 1863 sounds complete from start to finish — the opening sets direction, the middle layer carries the identity, and the base secures the trail. These are the fragrances best judged through real development.
