Soft Seducer

Scentrack:
Art of Noise - Love Beat

Casanova, a symbol of seduction, passion and adventure. It was not easy to justify this big name, but 1725 did it in big style. Like Casanova this fragrance is wolf in sheep's clothing. Soft, creamy and visually pale, and unbelievably alluring. Maybe it's too easy to say for fragrance is beautiful, but it perfectly describes 1725. Gentle, transparent, yet so precise. Perfectly balanced and tweaked. Starts with fluffy citruses, lavender and anise, and goes to dark amber, most realistic almonds and creamy vanilla and sandalwood.
Perfectly unisex, Casanova knows women must like him from the first smell. He surely knew what's good for him, like he advised it's easier to get in the bed with two ladies than one.

~ Smooth Operator ~

This "Casanova" is a smooth operator in a powdery velvet coat of purple lavender. As Giacomo himself would have said, "Be the flame not the moth." And in the sophisticated sillage of this HdP masterpiece that is the image you will give. After the initial greeting of the sweet talking citrus and anise this quickly moves into a lovers flowery poetry of liquorice and lavender. The almond and amber in the base are sweet but subtle seducing the nose the longer they lingers in your company. 1725 is a scent that is so familiar almost gourmand'ish in it's vanilla but a true classic fougere. The notes fall into place as they should clearly detectable and leave the wearer and those around him desiring more. You can expect a respectable longevity and a discreet personal sillage from this elegant charmer.
Kind Regards, Plat ~

A clean, expensive smelling talcum.

It's a rich smelling citrus and powder blend that dries down to what smells like an expensive talcum powder. I don't really pick up the other little nuances that are listed.

Another Fine Licorice Perfume

Although it's designated as a masculine composition, Histoires de Parfums 1725 reminds me a lot of some of the offerings of the house of Lolita Lempicka, and especially the masculine-leaning feminine perfumes. The notable presence of a dark licorice note combined with various other components important to Lolita Lempicka, including vanilla, amber, woods, etc. probably explains why I am reminded immediately of that house. 1725 also, for the same reasons, reminds me of Jesus del Pozo IN BLACK, and anyone who likes any one of these three would probably like the other two as well, it seems to me. The aesthetic is really very, very similar. Which of the three do I prefer? Hard to say. I may have to do a side-by-side comparison before issuing a verdict...

In a direct comparison, I have discovered how much sweeter the openings of LOLITA LEMPICKA and IN BLACK are next to 1725, which does make them seem initially quite a bit more feminine. In the drydown, however, I find all three to be unisex. My favorite drydown of the three is that of IN BLACK, probably because of the lavender note in 1725... Although I do think that this is a higher quality perfume in terms of components. Nonetheless, I think that anyone who likes one of these compositions would like the others as well. Black licorice lovers rejoice: anise/licorice-centric perfumes now abound!

High class pour un Homme...

Having read about this several times, my interest was piqued when I found a 15 ml bottle on sale recently. Opening with a fleeting citrus this scent goes very quickly into the heart of dusty lavender and dries down on vanilla, amber and just a hint of leather or maybe liquorice. I don't really get any of the mentioned woods or almonds.

Now, I am usually very fine with lavender, as in the fresh spicy Platinum Egoiste or the oriental La Nuit de l'Homme. None the less something in 1725 just doesn't sit right with me. When I spray it on my skin, it comes off... feminine maybe? Don't get me wrong, I'm all about people wearing what they like instead of being directed by the gender instructions from the manufacturer, but this one makes me feel slightly uncomfortable about myself when wearing it out and about. I have a feeling that the mix of lavender with amber and vanilla is what makes this happen. To be honest, this strikes me much more as a unisex than a male perfume. It's a fougere all right, but don't expect it to be your typical male fougere as it lacks the freshness that most feature. The scent that reminds me the most of this one is Caron's Pour un Homme (or even the powderiness of a less leathery version of Midnight in Paris), even if 1725 seems to be richer and generally of a higher quality. Both projection and longevity are rather moderate as 1725 is pretty subtle, not a loud scent in any way. I haven't read into it but if this scent is supposed to represent Casanova, I'd see him as more of a dandy, tease or a charmer rather than a seducer.

Long story short, after testing it several times over a couple of weeks I caved in and gifted it to my girlfriend - on whom it smells delightful, go figure.
Overall, it's clean and sophisticated but I advise to try before you buy.
