1725 has been a part of Histoires de
Parfums’ lineup for exactly 15 years. Dedicated to Casanova, a symbol of seduction,
passion and adventure, completely justified his legendary name. Like
Casanova, this fragrance is a wolf in sheep's clothing as well. Clean and
powdery, but extremely seductive. A beautiful perfume story, told by Gerald
Ghislain.
Casanova opens with beautiful and brisk
grapefruit, accompanied by anise, and clean, soft and full bodied lavender.
Everything is so innocent, fluffy, white and airy. Like a chilly morning in lavender
plantation. White almonds give almost some Amaretto accord. It has the softest
and the most expensive barbershop vibe I have ever encountered. Soft, creamy
and visually pale. Maybe it's too easy to say for fragrance is beautiful, but
it perfectly describes 1725. Absolutely stunning to me. Perfectly balanced and
tweaked fragrance. Casanova’s calming sensuality is so
alluring.
To its drydown Casanova becomes a little
bit darker with just a touch of warm amber, creamy vanilla and sandalwood. A
semi gourmand unisex barbershop perfection. One of the best, if not the best
barbershop fragrance. A true beauty in the classic form, like an Andrea
Palladio’s project in a new millennium form. Old charmer in a new era, a seduction
at the first sniff. Highly recommended.
