Pineapple burst.
Pineapple and tiara are the 2 major notes taking the lead from top till the base. Its creamy yet softly dry with some peaches, vanilla, jasmines, musk, and lily of the valley.
It’s very delicate and sensual with a total embodied frame. I believe this is quite interesting and its unisex unless you dont like soft tender sweet blends. Impressive.

I’m usually not a fan of fruit smells in perfume, but I love the pineapple note in 1804. It adds playfulness to the mysterious oriental notes. I’m also appreciative of how light the patchouli is. I can tell it is there, but it doesn’t overwhelm me like it does in most modern scents. If I could rename this perfume it would be “Chanel Goes to the Tropics.” =)
anilidiaw – :
Alcoholic pineapple blast in the begging, I do not like it very much. Yet the middle notes are pleasurable as the pineapple is still here, but soften by the spices and the lovable tiare. The part that I really love is the dry-down – subtle and balsamic vanilla, very wearable and lovely for the summer.
ruchkina1987 – :
A pineapple cocktail placed on the velvet woven with patchouli and roses. The pineapple is cheerful, sweet and volatile like champagne.
But the dark colors of velvet sometimes seem like dream.. When I hug a child and am held by a secret lover, the fragrance that I can be wearing.
aymagistr – :
I just can’t like the pineapple. It is a note that I tend not to get along with though, so I’m not really surprised. All this is to me is really pervasive pineapple atop patchouli. I can’t sense the other notes, and it turns my stomach just a little.
89092822392 – :
I’m vacillating. Part of me hates the sickly sweet pineapple combined with patchouli and in another minute I’m intrigued. I’m disgusted but also curious. Ultimately it’s a pass for me because I don’t want to be on a rollercoaster ride when I’m wearing perfume.
batikus – :
ugh no, not pineapple! i dislike fruity scents, *especially* pineapple, but this came in my sampler so i am going to try it. it starts off with pineapple and something mildly musty, bordering on subtly animalic. i’m not quite sure what that is. after a minute or so i get some benzoin, vanilla and patchouli, which does help the scent, though the pineapple is still *very* sweet. in fact it’s sickly sweet…i just can’t do this one, this’ll be a scrubber.
GrootheCata – :
Opens up like candy. The dry down is bad. smells like hair spray after a while, like body shop moringa. It starts off so well. Oh wel!
Mepup285JeomiWogkig – :
Of the two fruity patchouli perfumes by Histoires de Parfums I absolutely love 1969, but 1804 is more of a like. It starts out with fresh, summery pineapple that can be a bit sour, almost citrussy to me. Patchouli and musk join in and almost overpower the pineapple, but then they all meld together.
In the drydown the vanilla and especially the benzoin are very prominent, but there are also very light spicy notes and still hints of the pineapple and patchouli. I really like the drydown, it has something dry and something creamy at the same time. For some reason it made me think of a very milky latte macchiato, though this has no coffee note. Maybe the warm creaminess and light spice have a similar effect to me.
Overall, this is really nice, but a bit too sour in its fruitiness for my personal taste, and it just doesn’t wow me enough for the price.
nitroksis – :
Wow, people have a lot to say about this one! I really like it. It’s pineapple candy sweet, floral (I’d say it’s a sort of generic floral – not a typical “white floral” I’d expect with gardenia and jasmine notes both listed), quite powdery with just a touch of spice. It’s feminine and works for the office or casual daytime. Great lasting power 8+ hours on me with projection for the first couple hours.
ALIEN 105 – :
You’re munching on some lukewarm pineapple on a sunny day. You’re eating it with your hands and you’re getting yourself into a sticky mess when, all of the sudden, a bunch of guests invite themselves over for an afternoon lunch. The men come in wearing various patchouli and woodsy colognes, the women are wearing vanilla and florals, and you’re helpless as they all greet you and bombard you with quick hugs while you keep your sticky pineapple hands up in the air. 1804 by Histoires de Parfums.

i came back to this to see if my review would change as i’m enjoying another fruitchouli gucci rush, the combo of peach and patch working so beautifully. but, nope. pineapple and patchouli is a nauseating combo, horrible still.
stas_prim – :
I tested a sample of this yesterday and again this am. It smells strongly of pineapple – that fades some but stays present – and I also get some graham cracker cosiness very early on, among the exotic flowers. A ways in I get a pretty distinct plastic “Barbie Doll” smell. Pineapple, graham crackers, barbie doll – I can’t decide if this is my summer happy dream come true or if I need an intervention. This morning on freshly showered skin I also got some Barbie with BO. Patch?
Im conflicted!

Mehem349InsuffBooni – :
1804 is a truly lovely amber floral scent. On me it opens as a fruity floral, then quickly deepens into a more vanilla floral with just a hint of fruit remaining. The jasmine and gardenia take center stage, with rose, lily of the valley, vanilla, benzoin, and patchouli singing backup. The fruits are now in the chorus, lending a bit of sweetness. I enjoy how this scent develops. On its own 1804 isn’t as powerful or long lasting as some of the other Histoire de Parfums fragrances.
I like layering 1804 with 1899 to make it more floral or with Ambre 114 to add depth.
Freerider – :
After a fleeting initial blast of masculine spice and acidic pineapple, this fragrance turns into a lush bath bomb on your skin; powdery, candy sweet, and somehow reminding me bubblegum.
Vaka2710mvn – :
I think I am starting to realize that patchouli doesn’t work for me. I love the pineapple in this, but that patchouli underneath keeps me from wanting to wear this. My skin seems to amplify that note a lot and after about 10minutes all I get is patchouli. Sillage on me is poor, lasting power was decent.
superman85 – :
I got the sampler set at Sephora. This is one of my favorites.
Before I knew this was pineapple, I thought this perfume contained the thickest, chewiest, sour sweet cherry taffy in the entire world – made much more sense when I learned the note was pineapple!! Mad applause! Knockout opening that ends in a cozy, almost soapy/sawdusty, fruity jam. Beautiful!
This could easily sell as a very nice girly bottled designer fragrance. I imagine it along the ranks of Mon Paris, Mon Guerlain, Lolita Lempicka, Flowerbomb – this perfume doesn’t smell like those designers but it would appeal to the same target demographic. It’s a safe try if you enjoy the above perfumes.
Histoires de Parfums is quickly becoming one of my favorite houses! Thank you for putting out an affordable sampler set as I will sing your praises in the forums!
yanus_ch – :
A very sweet and heady aroma, always makes an entrance and warms you up during frosty days. I think someone already mentioned that 1804 smells very similar to Mugler’s Angel and I completely agree with this statement. This one smells just a bit sunnier thanks to pineapple, but overall it’s the same kind of patchouli fragrance, heavy and gourmand-ish. If you can’t tolerate sticky sweetness of caramel-cotton candy combo in Angel, 1804 might work for you.
It’s around 18 degrees C outside and the patchouli note in 1804 has become too screechy and suffocating. See you in the fall, George Sand.
Vnedripolk – :
GREAT opening! Dries down to a shadow of that great opening. Not really worth the price.
topfail23 – :
I like this one, and it’s actually the only fragrance I like from this “years/time” line. 1804 is tropical without falling into a coconutty, suntan-lotion rut. It’s summery without being beachy. Reminds me of a trading galley laden with spices, passing through the Carribean. That said, it’s VERY pineappley on me. The note is so strong and prominent, a lot of the complexity is hidden until it fades. Your experience may differ based on your skin chemistry, but sadly, this is not a “must have” for me at the moment.

عطر 1804
این عطر توسط جورج سند در ستایش احساسات غنی و سخاوتمندی همسر بارون دودوانت و برای روز تولد او که اول جولای 1804 بوده است، ساخته شد. این زن یکی از اولین سمبل های مدرن شدن زنان در آن عصر به شمار می رفته است و به همین ترتیب عطر متعلق به او را نیز می توان از اولین نشانه های تجدد در قرن 19 در فرانسه دانست.
این عطر را رایحه عمیق عنبر می سازد و یادآور علاقه و وابستگی جورج سند به طبیعت و متعلقات آن است. گرما و رنگ و بوی این رایحه ها که بر گرفته از ادویه های مختلف، گرم و میوه های رنگی و شیرین است، 1804 را به عطری بی نظیر و کامل از هر لحاظ تبدیل کرده است.
نت بالای این عطر با رایحه های یاسمن تاهیتی، هلو و آناناس است که شیرینی و لطافت خاصی را به آن می بخشد. نت میانی با وجود میخک، یاس هندی، رز مراکش و نیلوفر قدرت و جذبه خاصی را به عطر 1804 هدیه می کند و ماندگارترین نت که همان نت پایینی است، مشک سفید، وانیل، پاچولی، چوب صندل و بنزویین همچون نت موسیقی با رقصی هارمونیک مشام را نوازش می دهند.
20021973000 – :
Completely unisex. Goes on with a dry, catch-your-throat sharp alcohol blast like a cheap perfume sprayed in a bathroom but then a hint of cocoa comes through (probably a dry vanilla note mixed with the sweet fruit) then the fruit takes over. A lovely sweet dried pineapple scent with lots of musk wrapping around it to deepen it. I don’t like fruit fragrances. I like this one. But like the rest of this line, goes from a love to a like because I have to keep running my nose along my arm. Skin scents. Gorgeous skin scents with 3-4 sprays in a small area. In the base the final note that comes forward is prominent vanilla.
mudum87 – :
This is the first feminine scent from Histoires I’ve tried, and I think it’s lovely. It reminds me of my mother’s old perfumes. The pineapple is very strong, as well as the peach and vanilla. The next batch of scent to hit you after the initial sweetness is all earthy and musky. The cloves, the jasmine, and rose all mingle together to create a lovely sweet, earthy bouquet. The pineapple lingers perhaps too long and too strongly, but personally the tropical nature works well for me. The more it sits, the more managed it becomes. It has the appearance of cheap perfume at first, fruits and sweets do that since they’re so popular, but it comes forward with some time to show its complexity and nuance. And I think this would be great in combination with perhaps a more masculine scent from Histoires. I’m a real fan. 8/10
mgritchin – :
Very,very disappointed in this. If you like dried powdery pineapple scents go for it… this stayed on all day I’ll give it that.
integra_kt – :
I tried it yesterday and kept smelling my wrist all night long! It’s so yummy! I was hoping it would be similar to Chanel Chance, but it turned out that it’s actually very similar to Nuits de Noho by Bond No. 9. They share the same main notes: pineapple, patchouli and vanilla. It’s also in the vein of Angel but because of the strong pineapple note it’s much more similar to Nuits de Noho than to Angel (Nuits de Noho basically smells like Angel with pineapple). 1804 is a cold season scent for sure.
Жу4ара – :
I really can’t imagine George Sand wearing this.
bazacatalogov – :
Great pineapple opening, horrible patchouli drydown.
asmin – :
Smelt good on paper… on me it first smelt SHARP. I felt confused lol and didn’t even want to smell my wrist during the initial spray. Afterwards, it did blend and smell okay. I have some more in my sample but I’m too scared to try it again.
Overall the dry down is alright. The beginning was scary.
lex1024 – :
Sexy, juicy, lush, mouthwatering… very unusual. Perfect!
I don’t detect any patchouly. Only ripe, warm pineapple, vanilla and precious wood.
Dimedik – :
Once I got used to the pineapple it became one of my very favorites. Brilliant. The product of a huge imagination. The Tiaré used is super high grade. Exceptional.
PLATAGON – :
If only I could smell this I think I would love it. I have a large sample of 1804 which I have been wearing daily for a week. When I first apply it, I smell something like tropical incense for a second then it’s as if my nose “turns off” and I get nothing all day. I wear and can smell many other loud perfumes such as Fruitchouli Flash, Passiflora and Angel so I really have no idea what is going on. Others can smell 1804 on me but do not seem impressed OR repulsed
veta – :
A lush, bold tropical floriental that demands attention. The fruity notes (peach and pineapple) remain prominent throughout; for those who love these notes, it’s a must-try. A sumptuous floral with a warm vanilla, musky-woody dry down. Silage is big, longevity over 10 hours. To be honest, I’m not a fan of bold fruity notes in general but this might be the exception-very realistic and juicy and so over-the-top that it’s easy to imagine that George herself would have approved.
goshik.nn – :
I knew going in that I probably wouldn’t like this; I almost never like pineapple notes in perfume (it actually is never, but I’m not ruling out some future possibility) and there pineapple sits, atop the perception pyramid. I, however, obtained the HdP sampler set and am a sucker for trying things on. I was right, I don’t enjoy the pineapple; but that’s just my nose. There is a very clean soapiness that underlies the whole scent, and while the pineapple remains the strongest fruit, it morphs into a general fruity bar soap. It has to be some interplay of the patchouli, musk, and vanilla. For a fruitchouli, it manages to be rather unique to my experience. If I didn’t dislike pineapple, it would be perfectly nice. It’s not overbearingly sweet, despite its profusion of fruitiness. It wears clean and light.
olkhusha – :
Sweet, candy-like opening over something pine-y. A very fancy fruity-floral – beautifully done. The pineapple is ripe and heavy, the flowers dense and luxurious. As it dries down the pineapple fades quite a bit, leaving you with a competent musky floral, still beautiful but not as stunning as the opening. It’s during this time that that weird plastic note that’s in so many perfumes makes its a appearance. I think this is whatever molecule they use to give a “patchouli” smell. This is unfortunate because the opening was gorgeous and the dry down, while not as amazing as the opening, was otherwise well done.
BORODA333 – :
I like it, and overall it is nice. But I can’t help but notice an occasional off-putting note, sort of like that of cat pee.
I see several notes that could be the culprit(s). Patchouli… peach… benzoin… musk… white florals… even the pineapple. Likely it is a combination of those.
Not awful at all. Just a few strange whiffs.
TTAPuK – :
Am I the only one that gets rotting pineapple from this? Like it’s a scent you’d find at the Marshall’s discount candle section? To my nose it’s distinctly waxy, cloyingly sweet and reminiscent of a tropical alcoholic drink.
I’m smelling this right now and all I smell is sour pineapple, waxy artificial fruits, white florals, a hint of patchouli, sandalwood and baby powder. Super synthetic and nauseating. How unfortunate!
lbb415speagoessenda – :
1804 is a sweet, rich cozy gourmand that blooms gorgeously on my skin. Though mostly pineapple, I also pick up the peach, patchouli, powdery notes, and a touch of rose. I don’t even like pineapple, but this is a stunner.
Klav – :
Fragrance made for lovers of fruity gourmand.
In this case it highlights the pineapple and from the beginning, and is accompanied by a combo of patchouli with vanilla compact packs it all like a corset, drying musk tops whole.
The smell is pleasant and reminiscent of a hot day in the tropics, but for my taste everything feels very plastic and cheap.

I love pineapple so I took a chance and purchased this s a blind-buy . . . drumroll . . . WINNER!!! This is so lovely!! It opens with this lovely sweetened pineapple and morphs into spicey florals, a hit of vanilla and some patch. It reminded me of something familiar and it hit me . . . Sonia Rykiel original!! Not exactly the same but definitely a similar interpretation of familiar notes. It’s an oriental that would appeal to “daring” gourmand lovers, and lovers of spicey heavy hitters looking for something fruity/gourmand but only a little bit. Complex and wonderful!! Yay!!!
satana250989 – :
A pineapple dominant fruity floral. Lots of pineapple, a bit of white flowers, and a hint of vanilla, and white musk. The white musk drags it over into body wash territory. A tropical fruity-floral soap or exotic scented fabric softener. I would like it better had they left out the white musk and amped up the vanilla and the woods. Or used a dirtier musk.
hell – :
This is one of the most beautiful summer fragrance I have ever tried. I wore it at the beach and it was amazing on me. Everybody love it and got many compliments. Very long lasting and good sillage. Sweet perfume not my style but 1804 delicious!
quorernaberia – :
Very strange! Sweet pineapple, vanilla, and musk. I decided to give my sample a re-sniff because pineapples are cheap at the store this week, and I wanted to see how the fragrance compares now that I have the real deal in my kitchen. Results: the top notes are absolutely accurate.
I certainly enjoy it for its singularity, but I don’t think I need more than a sample. I have to wonder: whose idea was it to make a pineapple perfume?
9g – :
A room filling radiant and attention-grabbing fragrance. Pineapple? OK, I agree, but with lot of musks and a bit patchouli. It doesn’t change with the time. First time I tested this on a blotter I found it a little bit annoying and threw it out in my paper garbage at home. After three days I had to rake out the blotter as it still stole my attention from my computer work speaking from the dustbin with me.
I don’t care about fragrances, if they costs more than 1 €/1 ml and are not in that much appealing bottle – the bottle looks like it holds a perfume for a men, I threw the blotter out of my room. A half an year passed and today in the City I sprayed it five times on my cap. The fragrance has something what definitely grabs attention in a very good way so that it made me just somehow dreaming. My hubby was totally smitten (actually he doesn’t care that much about fragrances at all and told me hard, my perfume wardrobe were a medicinal mess) and forced me to go in the store again to buy a whole bottle of this terrific water. I didn’t want it, OMG,
I have about 150 bottles of stuff and he knows it, but after a half hour he said it again and if I would not do it, he comes with me and buy it for me even if I don’t want.
This perfume creates a dense and thick trajectory behind you and holds two days.
I see it as a versatile fragrance for day and night and unisex for sure.
tiseFrieforge – :
I don’t think so it really like a cheap-fruit perfume. Actually fruit scents not my style but there is something about this perfume I like very much. When I sprayed on my skin I sniff it all day without stop. It’s really delicious and attractive. Also it has good long lasting and sillage. Excellent!!

If you replace the pineapple note in this through lavender, you get Le 3rd man from Caron. But as a woman you can wear Histoires 1804 very well, Le 3rd man from Caron is man only. Radiates a lot.

Absolutely lovely,I was going though my samples for something to make me feel happy and spot on! Sunny,cosy and sweet. Yum xxx
ROBOPAC – :
This perfume has a syrupy plastic pineapple smell. I cannot valuate objectively, because I really don’t like it. I got the same vibe as from Mukhallat of Montal – plastic syrupy fruit. In the case of Mukhallat it was strawberry, here is pineapple. The sweetness comes from the benzoin I guess…I would like to smell some spices, but I don’t detect any. I have an urgent need of freshness here, but it lacks…
It was great for sampling, but it ends here.
spruts – :
I bought this. One sniff and I was in love, trying to figure out which bills were due and when so that I could get a FB. It just makes me happy 🙂
This starts out with a lot of pineapple, really ripe pineapple without the sharpness that I’ve found in other perfumes. Oftentimes it seems I’ll spray something tropical on (like Escada, Hanae No.8, or Miami Glow) and it turns into ammonia on my skin. This, however, remains an edible pineapple for about half an hour before the spice shines through. Pineapple and peach are the main players the entire way through, but spice, flowers, and creaminess weave in and out of it, creating a lively dynamic. For some reason, it ever so slightly reminds me of Lolita Lempicka. Hm…
Oddly enough, my coworkers said this smelled powdery. I don’t get powder at all. I’m thinking they just…don’t really know enough about perfumes to categorize them. Not being snobby, they just don’t really know notes.
This can definitely be oversprayed and become an enormous headache, so apply with caution.
hastes – :
On July 1st, year 1804, in Paris, Amantine Aurore Lucile Dupin, who became Baroness of Dudevant was born. She became known for her androgynous pseudonym, George Sand.
A great writer, a good lover and involved with the cause, she was the incarnation of the first modern woman. And it was about this character that this perfume was created, reflecting its generosity and sensuality.
This is a bouquet of flowers, warmed with intoxicating spices and colored by candy fruits. It brings, in the output, notes of Tiare flower (Tahitian gardenia), Corsica peach and ananas (pineapple) from Hawaii. In the heart, cloves, nutmeg, Indian jasmine, Lily of the Valley and Moroccan rose. At the base, notes of sandalwood, patchouli, benzoin, vanilla and white musk.
The result is a rich and extremely powerful scent. A single spray is enough to cause a damage (in a good way)!
From the moment it touches the skin, the fruity tone dominates the environment. The “ananas”, which is regarded as a more sweet and juicy type of pineapple, is the most notable ingredient in this composition. The less trained noses will tell you they just feel pineapple in this perfume. But with a little bit of calm, it is possible to feel the nuance of peach holding hands to the pineapple. The gardenia, however, merges with the jasmine, for having so similar and almost silky nuances. Then, about 20 minutes later, the fruity aroma remains strong, but it is possible to feel the presence of nutmeg and a little more flowers in the fragrance. That’s when the floral aspect starts to become more prominent and the initial sweet, remembering a sweet being prepared in the pot, begins to be more contained. This is the perfume itself, because it remains this way for a long time on the skin. Only about 3 hours after applied, the base notes give a more creamy tone of vanilla and benzoin, making the scent more mature, finishing the portrait of George Sand, one of the precursors of feminism.
Aspects as longevity and projection are beyond reproach in this fragrance.
lav038 – :
Deep, rich, multifaceted, sexy gourmand, I picture a self-ironic femme fatale wearing this, if this type have ever existed. She’s deadly gorgeous, perfectly dressed and manicured, perfumed, with full makeup, but still, not a caricature.
1804 opens with very sugary pineapples and peaches, after that I get lots of cloves and nutmeg, and the base is predominantly sandalwood, patchouli, clean musk and vanilla. Probably benzoin, too, as it’s very powdery.
One word – gorgeous! And with lots of class. 1804 is VERY sweet, but so well constructed that it smells expensive.
The lasting power and the sillage are impressive. Be ready to receive many compliments on your fragrance.
eduard asdf – :
The pineapple note in 1804 goes on strong enough to make me think of lazy tropical escapades. The fruit smells very realistic, like it’s been sitting in the sun for quite some time now, getting ripe and ready to be eaten. It’s tart and sweet and juicy, and it almost makes my mouth water.
I’m waiting for the juicy note to play itself out, but it clings on to my skin in low volume. I may as well give in and accept that this is how my journey to the tropics with George Sand is going to smell like, though I can hardly imagine my companion was the piña colada type of girl:)
After some sugary detours, during which my nose is treated to more than a few whiffs of benzoin, I finally begin to notice more depth to this so far rather light-hearted scent, and the juicy sweetness at last gives way to gently spiced vanilla and aromatic, woody notes. The effect is lush and creamy but hardly intriguing or rebellious. I feel confused by the fact that Sand’s name is paired with a tropical fruity theme. Perhaps I should read the story behind the perfume.
A few years ago I was crazy about Sunset Heat, one of the limited edition summer Escadas. I had gone through my bottle in no time. The only reason George Sand makes me think about it is because both have pineapple as the centrepiece. It’s amazing how peceptions can change over time – I’m fairly sure I wouldn’t give Sunset Heat as much as a second glance now. I’m also less than taken with Histoires de Parfums’ representation of George Sand.
Unlike my former pineapple crush though, 1804 hides a darker streak beneath the casual, fruity exterior, which elevates it to a much classier status. That’s, however, not going to change my mind about it, as I’d rather leave the pineapple in the past.
ForJulie – :
Seems to me to be a sweeter flirtier version of Micallef Mon Parfum. Just wonderful without being cloying and immature and uninteresting…hard to do these days with what’s typically offered in perfume retail. I haven’t met a HdP that I haven’t loved. A winning niche brand for me.
Alibaba – :
I am very much averse to pineapples – eating it, smelling it, seeing it at the supermarket. The fact that this scent opens up with a very distinct sour pineapple scent that makes my tongue hurt at the thought of eating a pineapple, I must say that I have to give away the sample of this fragrance to someone else…
However, once the sourness of the pineapple subsides, the scent turns into a comforting warm spicy scent. I just personally cannot stomach the strong pineapple in the beginning.
aeon – :
Very feminine, indeed. At the beginning – fruity sweet (this sweetness flies away quickly enough), but later on smells like really oriental, creamy, rich of flowers (mostly I feel gardenia, and jasmine). By the end I recognize notes of musk, vanilla, and patchouli. Maybe benzoin as well. It lasts quite long (at least 5 hours on my skin).
andrej-x – :
Very,very voluptuous … suitable for a free-spirited woman (as George Sand).
It develops great fruity notes (peach and I feel more nutmeg) overlapped vanilla (excellent) and benzoin and all they give you the feeling of joy.
Free Spirit, this has to feel and enjoy sniffing in 1804.

Histoires de Parfums 1804, smells the way Chanel’s Chance should have smelt. In my opinion, this fragrance is an extension of Chanel’s popular perfume. It’s more rounded and evidently much sweeter.
1804 opens with a juicy and sour pineapple accord, with an added hint of peach, making this fragrance’s opening both fruity and tropical. An earthy and spicy heart is quick to steer 1804 away from fruity floral territory, showing some similarities to Chanel Chance’s dominant patchouli heart.
Chance has a tendency to become dry and peppery over time, however 1804 develops further into a deep, creamy and spicy blend. Vanilla aids in providing a sensual drydown. The patchouli also becomes much stronger, almost smelling chocolatey on my skin.
I’m not usually a fan of pineapple in perfume, however Histoires de Parfums has used the note skilfully in this composition. To my nose, 1804 is a rich blend of fruits, spices, vanilla and earthy patchouli. There are many floral notes listed in the scent pyramid, however I wasn’t able to smell them.
I think anyone that adores Chanel Chance, Thierry Mugler’s Angel, Miss Dior Cherie or Guess Gold, will more than likely enjoy 1804. It’s a fragrance of outstanding quality, lasting an entire day on the skin. I recommend.
w7ww – :
Now that is pure pulp of the fruit. I’m up to the flavor of pineapple, OMG this is very good. A fruity acid prominence with pineapple dominated everything. Fantastic it is unique and does not resemble anything on the market until the present day.
I rank it well:
Smell: 9.5/10
Projection: 9.5/10
Longevity: 9/10

This is a nice powdery pineapple, very comforting. I like it but I don’t love it. I probably would not buy a full bottle, but it’s not bad.
sanchezrock – :
1804 is a tropical fantasy of a perfume. Speaking for my people, pasty white folks, tropical is something we can refer to but can never really pull off. We just weren’t meant to. And though I shout to the heavens that taste is arbitrary, nuance can be the difference between a sunburnt, drunken conga line listing to “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” and a quiet hand-in-hand evening walk in the sand.
Imagine one of the huge white floral perfumes on tropical vacation: Joy sunbathing in Moorea or Amouage Gold diving in Tahiti. Keep the volume and the sillage, but dial back the uptight. 1804 is a spicy floriental in the grand manner. The allusion may be to tropical scents, but this bad girl is a classic French perfume in her bones. As such, 1804 has exceptional form, but since the implied tone of lushness and leisure takes precedence over structure, form gives way to expression. Form as seen in a ‘classical’ white floral fragrance seems like artifice. Intent and composition are fused in 1804 and it achieves that balletic ambition of surpassing technique and simply moving.
1804 is a spectacular application of classical technique and should put the corner-cutting school of perfumery on notice.
Swoon-worthy.

Exquisite. Reminds me of a scent that hawaiian royalty would wear. I smell pineapple and something a little salty too. Maybe peanuty? I know that sounds wierd, but i smell something nutty and not nutmeg cause its not spicelike, it smells a little nutty. Thats the beginning, after a couple of minutes i smell rose and powdery but slightly sweet like there is a touch of citrus. ITs very good. I love it. It changes and changes

1804 is a great perfume to wear throughout the day if you have the time to appreciate each layer. It’s a fragrance with very pronounced top, middle and base notes. Initially, there is a blast of zesty pineapple and dry roses that will leave your nose tingling. It then moves into a bouquet of sweet, almost sugary flowers that gradually develops a strange bonfire-like warmth. Finally, sandalwood and other soft woody notes reveal themselves while still retaining wisps of its former self that float by like ribbons.
I absolutely love this scent!

I love pineapple, and I have wanted a pineapple perfume for a long time. Sadly this one doesn’t develop on my skin. It remains a syrupy sweet pineapple out of a can for a very long time. I can tell there are spices wanting to come out, but they are smothered by the pineapple syrup and don’t stand a chance. This had the potential to be so perfect….
Edit: If anyone cares how this smells on others, I have to add that I put this on my mother, and it smelled AMAZING!! It was a spiced pineapple, almost like Angel if its pineapple note were far more prominent than it actually is. I am so jealous my mom can wear it, but at least I get to smell it when she’s around. This is her new signature. I bought her a bottle; it was that beautiful on her.
