Description
1989 is the first men’s fragrance from the greek perfume house THEO PARFUMS and it is here to make its very own history.
The story begins back in 1989 when its instigator, Theodoros Kalotinis, was born. This fragrance represents his exemplar of the well-dressed man,
since elegance and style are vital part of its creator’s life style. That kind of life style, is what Theodoros Kalotinis wanted to share with
other men. It is all about a fragrance with earthy nuances and woody elements which make it rugged and spicy at the same time.
1989 by Theo Parfums is a Woody Spicy fragrance for men. 1989 was launched in 2014. The nose behind this fragrance is Theodoros Kalotinis. Top note is black and pink pepper; middle notes are raspberry and plum; base notes are patchouli and olibanum. 1989 was launched in 2016.

Unique, natural and well blended. 12+ hours longevity with moderate-high sillage. The more I wear this the more I appreciate it.

From a 30ml bottle won giveaway here at Fragrantica. Sadly, leaking when it arrived and leaking every time I spray it. Still, my sincerest thank you for this reward Theo Parfums.
1989 by Theo Parfums should be recognized for it’s high quality, very unique composition and outstanding performance. This is a 1 spray huge scent cloud, very aromatic, earthy, spicy, herbal, grassy/green and with an aromatherapy nuance. It’s a perfect wear for cigarette smokers and read on to know why.
For the first hour or so, one spray, will surely be noticed, two to three sprays can fill a small room, four and more sprays may cause sneezing; revolting to those who are very sensitive to fragrances. Longevity goes 7 plus hours.
1989 fits the “less is more” category just like Slumberhouse Norne, Mugler’s Angel and A*Men, Aramis Calligraphy Rose, Montale Black Aoud, Nasomatto Black Afgano and others.
But don’t get me wrong,1989 is neither dark nor sensual. It is formal, evening formal, outdoorsy formal/casual/sporty and may even be a bar night wearing//clubbing as long as you do not go over 2 sprays.
1989 can be worn on most seasons except hot/humid summer days. It stays true to its composition. It is quite complex and I personally enjoy the scent journey. It has a calming feel to it plus sophistication. I feel like a wealthy man when wearing it outside the house.
Since I received a defective packaging, the scent has stayed inside the box and oil residue at the bottle neck. Sniffing in the box initially reminded me of the addicting smell of a menthol cigarette pack. It’s almost the same top smell of my vintage Dreamer by Versace added with eucalyptus and pepper spices. A soothing and cooling effect that initially got noticed and complimented. It is quite tricky because what I smelled in the box and out of the sprayer, smells different on my skin as I smell vibes of vetiver, violets, soft metallic accord. Then finally, the faint smell of a cigarette box is back over the dry down. Tricky yet very enjoyable.
Over the heart and base, 1989 by Theo Parfums also has an aromatherapy feel to it. Definitely, a relaxing bedtime scent. The base is green, grassy, soft spicy and herbal. Much like a cousin of perfume masterpiece, F. Malle’s French Lover and Aramis Havana.
I highly recommend 1989 by Theo Parfums to niche lovers and perfume enthusiasts who prefers fragrances that are spicy, aromatic, deep, a hands down beast performer, exuding class with soothing and rejuvenating character.
How I wish to try the complete “Theo” lines including Mentor.
With his accomplishment in 1989, Theo K. has a strong potential to be among the famous names in the fragrance industry.
For it’s uniqueness, performance and well crafted, terrific scent, I rate 1989, a 5/5.
