About the Fragrance
Project 1945 Samosir is a unisex fragrance from the Indonesian brand Project 1945, released in 2024.
It is presented as an eau de parfum, combining green, floral, citrus and musky facets.
The name refers to Sumatra and Samosir Island, while the composition itself is perceived as a fresh, sunny and at the same time gently sweet interpretation of natural motifs.
The fragrance is designed for women and men who enjoy clean green accords with a floral heart and a calm, slightly honeyed depth.
It has no rigidly gendered character: Project 1945 Samosir easily adapts to the wearer’s image, adding freshness, composure and a subtle exotic expressiveness.
Notes and Development
The composition features bergamot, a green accord, green tea, honey, jasmine, labdanum, honeysuckle and musk.
The database does not separate the individual top, middle and base notes, so the fragrance is best perceived as a unified composition in which fresh, floral and warm nuances gradually intertwine.
The opening can be imagined as a cool green-citrus burst with the slightly tart transparency of bergamot and the freshness of tea.
As it develops, the green accord is softened by floral nuances of jasmine and honeysuckle, while honey gives them roundness and a touch of sweetness.
In the final stage, warmer labdanum and musky nuances emerge, making the scent deeper, softer and more noticeable on the skin.
Character and Wearability
According to the stated characteristics, Project 1945 Samosir has very strong sillage, so the composition is unlikely to go unnoticed.
At the same time, green tea, a citrus accent and floral notes create a sense of airiness, preventing the fragrance from becoming purely dense and sweet.
It is an option for those who enjoy expressive fragrances with a natural mood and a noticeable presence.
The composition is especially suitable for spring and summer, when its green and tea nuances sound brighter, although its honeyed-labdanum base can also support the fragrance in cooler weather.
Samosir is suitable for walks, travel, meetings and occasions when you want to leave behind a memorable yet unconventional scented trail.
Because of its very strong sillage, it is best to begin with a small amount; precise recommendations for the number of sprays on skin and clothing are not provided for this release.
Its Place in the Brand’s Style
Project 1945 Samosir shows how an Indonesian brand explores images of greenery, light and tropical nature without resorting to straightforward exoticism.
Rather than an overloaded composition, it combines tea-like transparency, floral softness, honeyed sweetness and musky cleanliness.
No information about the perfumer, the collection or other concentrations of the fragrance is available, so its individual style is best understood through the stated olfactory formula.
Similar Fragrances
For further exploration of the green-floral direction, consider Guerlain Muguet 2016, Guerlain Muguet 2015 and Tory Burch Jolie Fleur Verte.
They may appeal to fans of fresh green and floral nuances, although Project 1945 Samosir stands out with its more pronounced sillage and combination of green tea with honey, labdanum and musk.
