The house of Frederic M gifted the world with 1983 in 2014. A masculine fragrance rooted in the spicy and wood families. Conceived and brought to life by perfumer Frederic Munoz. Released in eau de toilette.
France is where this fragrance comes from — and it shows. 1983 Frederic M unfolds gradually, effortlessly, and with great refinement — a perfect choice for day or evening.
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 rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A light and elegant fragrance with harmonious richness—the perfect balance between the depth of eau de parfum and the freshness of cologne
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The olfactory structure of 1983 unfolds as an expressive line of development, where accents shift smoothly and sequentially. The style of Frederic M is clear from the opening to the final trail. Every decision feels deliberate, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Eau de toilette sets the depth and body this composition needs.
Right at the start you sense sparkling citrus top notes: Bergamot, Cardamom, Lavender and Pineapple. These 4 notes set a burst of citrus freshness that anchors the first impression immediately.
When the opening settles you meet Ambergris, Clove, Patchouli, Vetiver and Woody Accord keeping a structural woody direction.
The internal accord map is driven by these accords: Aromatic, Citrus, Gourmet and Fruit with each one in a clear role. Secondary accord layers such as Wood, Amber, Leather and Spicy expand the olfactory volume in the background.
At the note-group layer the profile is anchored in Citrus, Spicy, Green and Fruit. It also reaches into Ambery, Wood, Leather and Earthy / Mossy.
In summary 1983 holds a coherent structure — the first stage creates momentum, the middle layer carries the identity, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. This is the type of composition best judged on skin.
