This is a herbal, peachy chypre with hints of basil. It’s an unusual scent but once I “got” it, I couldn’t live without it. It has a wonderfully retro vibe and a mossy, woody finish. Paris 1948 is a gem, and you won’t smell like everyone else on the bus! Unless you sit by me.

Looking at the various notes you’d expect a thick, full-bodied perfume. In actual fact this is very light, very breezy, and I’d say very syntetic yet interesting. I could only affirm the peach if pressed and peg it as soapy if really pressed.

I first sampled this at a 4160 Tuesdays Wall of Scent smelling session, after trying vintage Chanel No. 5 and Coty L’Origan. Then we sampled this and it knocked my socks off. Ultra old-fashioned (just up my street) and classy. Like the best fragrances of the early 20th century, I find it practically impossible to discern individual notes. It definitely does contain oakmoss, but it is not a chypre as such. If I try very hard, I can detect peach, basil, rose, hay and oakmoss – but that really doesn’t tell you a great deal about how this smells. I can see that this might not be to everyone’s taste. It reminds me of a less aldehydic No.5.

My skin doesn’t like this at all – it just goes completely flat on me, with peach being one of the strongest notes after some time.
I also get something that doesn’t quite burn my nostrils but that does warm them up and tickle them, opening my lungs., and then it turns into Plasticine before ultimately fading to plastic.
Pity… I’m sure this could work on quite a few people. Just not me.

I was not sure on the first spritz (quite citrusy) but as soon as the alcohol dried off there remained a lovely deep peachy woody spicey fragrance. It is quite a potent juice and lasts for many hours. I dont find the peach dominates at all.

Peach is one of those notes that can go horribly wrong for my tastes. I often find it far too sickly and, to my nose, cheap smelling. So I’m pleased that the peach here has none of those problems, especially since I’ve found that when peach is a note, it tends to be the dominant one.
I’m fairly sure this peach is synthetic, and it’s a good choice here (and I’m not usually a fan of synthetic fruits) because it allows for far more control over it. Added to the citrus, the opening notes take on a fairly aldehydic quality, ever so slightly fizzy.
The rose is present, but softly and quietly. The sharply fruity opening doesn’t take long to become rich and woody – although the peach holds strong throughout – reminding me a little of Piguet’s Visa. This one is a darker, naughtier version though. Where Visa is bright and smiling, Paris 1948 is more shadowy and smirking.
The honey is very gentle. It’s there, but if you’re not a fan of honey, don’t be too put off because it’s not overly noticeable here.
I agree with nexangelus that only one dab is needed of this. It’s fairly potent.
The sillage is moderate and the longevity is around 7-8 hours.

Based upon the scent notes, I thought this would be one of my favorite 4160 Tuesdays scents. Sadly, I find the opening to be a very chemical peach, to the point of being distracting, almost too sweet for my tastes.
Sadly, the woody and earthy notes do little to save it for me. Chemically-recreated oakmoss can’t begin to come close to the real thing, unfortunately. One thing I feel strongly about is that it is nearly impossible to recreate the oldies but goodies, because of ingredient restrictions, however, it doesn’t mean it is impossible to create great modern perfumes out of modern ingredients.
Maybe my mistake was in hoping that this WOULD be a true chypre, and on me it is most decidedly not. It is a huge chemical mess on me.
Regardless, there are many 4160 Tuesdays scents I love, so surely this is just a chemical mismatch. Others may find it to be more harmonious on them.

Little, hand packed package of samples from 4160 Tuesdays. I went straight for the free sample as the tissue it was wrapped in smelt divine. I have been testing vintages today and this reminds me of the strong, great oldies.
It has a sweet, musky opening, with lots of lemony citrus. After a bit it is musky and floral with the honey and peach still sitting there at the top. The oakmoss and woody depth when you breathe it in comforts the chest. It is a strong one, so only small dab to wrist needed to enjoy the aroma.
