Different take on the vanilla & tobacco DNA
Got this one early in my fragrance journey and I still like it very much today.
This one is very good, in the opening I get very heavy red wine, never found another One that smells this much of wine.
The wine is sweetened by the plum and honey, very heavy on the honey too.
As it dries down the tobacco & spices comes forward and ties everything together.
Very masculine even if my description hints otherwise, not sickly sirupy sweet but still sweet.

My GFs favorite fragrance on me, absolutely loves it and can't stop smelling me, she's usually quite a critic when it comes to fragrances but this one really takes the cake for her.

Pineapple heaven
Fresh & realistic pineapple over a warm bed of animalic oud & labdanum with flowers taming everything down & rounding it out.
The animalic oud dies down a bit when it dries down, it's not barnyard-y just the perfect touch of slightly dirty animalic.
High quality natural ingredients, never tried a fragrance that actually smells like how fresh pineapple tastes like and I'm in love.
I find it just perfectly sweet.
Longevity around 10h on my skin and a day or two on clothes.

Realistic mandarin with vanilla
This is a really nice realistic mandarin, has that nice juicyness that you get when you bite into a mandarin with some bitterness from the peel, together with a high quality vanilla note, smells like luxurious vanilla powder.
It's quite linear but understandable with the 2 notes, but still manages to vary with some small changes throughout to keep it interesting.
Like all 1973 fragrances, the bottle is handpainted and handmade boxes with an amazing sprayer and good longevity thanks to the perfume concentration.

Cherry Deluxe
Really nice maraschino cherry/ candy cherry syrup in sweet rum, takes a backseat for the strawberry in the drydown.
Still really nice but a bit sad the cherry goes away but it's pretty normal with cherry notes in my experience.
Very strong, maybe a bit too strong IMO.
Love the handmade woodboxes and the handpainted bottles, makes every bottle unique.
One of the best if not the best sprayer I've tried.
