  I loved 1828 at first: clean citrus, sweet mandarin, and airy eucalyptus. Then the spicy notes kick in, and everything goes great in terms of projection and longevity. But as it dries down, with the incense and pine, it sticks to the skin without projection and disappears in 2-3 hours, leaving me disappointed. It’s elegant and easy to wear, but with poor longevity and projection. If it were cheap, I’d forgive it, but at this price, there are better options. Rating: 4.

  It starts with citrus and eucalyptus, very rich. Then it dips a bit with nutmeg and ends with a lot of pine clinging to the skin. I see it for daytime, spring, and summer. The projection and longevity are scarce, what a pity.

  Histoires de Parfums shares 5 structural notes with Gucci Envy, placing this 1828 right in the drying-down phase of Envy. Both share a prominent incense that seems to have the exact same aromatic constitution. I’d just add that its opening is gorgeous but fleeting, before settling into a green incense very much in the Envy style… I could swear they’re identical once dried. Verdict: if you’re hunting for the elusive Envy, here’s your answer. To wrap up, I’ll include impressions from previous forum users and just add that applying it well boosts its performance.

  Histoires de Parfums and Gucci Envy share 5 notes and an incense structure so similar they look like twins. The opening is pretty but fades quickly; then it settles into a green incense identical to Envy. If you’re looking for something similar, here’s the answer. Just recommend applying it well to get more performance.

  Different impression from the first time I tried it. I have a soft spot for this brand; they have very elegant perfumes. The first time, it faded very quickly, but yesterday it lasted a good 8 hours. The smell is fine, but with everything I own, I feel this one doesn’t add much for me. I think the citrus notes linger throughout the life of the fragrance, while for me, the eucalyptus is the dominant one. Sometimes it leaves mentholated traces, but mostly it’s more balsamic. The pine adds green touches and brings back memories of those old masculine perfumes like Essence De Loeve (though they don’t resemble each other at all, haha). I swear I catch labdanum, but since it doesn’t dominate, it must be my imagination. It’s a perfume to give a neutral sensation, not to stand out, and not really for the very young, although this is totally subjective.

  I largely agree with @uhm’s review. After using it several times, my impressions have shifted from indifference to feeling great. I’ll settle for the middle ground: it’s good, but it doesn’t excite me. The dominant note is eucalyptus, which stands out in this 1828 and seems more balsamic to me than fresh or mentholated. The longevity has varied: 5 hours in hot summer weather and up to 8 in the early springs we have here in Andalusia. I think it’s more of a spring fragrance, for sunny days with pleasant temperatures, and more for daytime than nighttime. Although it could work well on a summer night, why not? I’m not dying for it, but it’s not bad. The interesting thing is that predominance of eucalyptus, which is uncommon, and the quality of its ingredients. It’s a matter of trying it.

  The freshness of eucalyptus is the thread that ties it all together, blending with citrus where the tangerine leaves traces of light. Black pepper and nutmeg soften the hard edges of this mix, while the base notes add green, wood, and an incense that fits perfectly. The heart of the eucalyptus is slightly muted but very perceptible, combining with a warm, woody aromatic note that gives it a refined, flattering masculinity. When the pine comes through, the fragrance becomes resinous and interesting. The sillage is well-designed: noticeable at arm’s length for about three hours, then it fades in silent steps until it disappears completely between 6 and 7 hours. As MarcusRS says, when it dries down, it reminds me of Gucci Envy, especially when the eucalyptus fades, though Gucci is clearly superior in composition. Ideal for anyone looking for something aromatic, spicy, resinous, and woody with a flattering masculinity.

  This smells like everything a fragrance can sound good. It’s woody, with cold eucalyptus, a touch of incense, and vetiver, paired with a soft spice that smells like nutmeg but fresh and light. You feel clean, as if your clothes and skin have accumulated daily care and cleanliness. It’s hard to explain, but it’s really good. It reminds me of Houbigant’s Bois Mystique, but without the bite. It works for any occasion and temperature. The only fatal flaw: it doesn’t last. It has poor projection and costs too much for its longevity. It’s a shame; I’d love to make it my signature, but at that price, the poor performance would break me. On skin, it lasts an hour and a half or two, though it lingers longer on clothes. I don’t understand how they make fragrances this good yet so weak. In the end, the business is that people admire how you smell and hunt for the perfume, right?

  This perfume is everything there is to love in terms of fragrance. Primarily woody, with cold eucalyptus, a touch of incense, a hint of vetiver, soft spice, and it smells great like nutmeg, yet at the same time it’s fresh and light. You feel clean, without falling into the typical fresh marine/citrus/synthetic trap. It’s a ‘hygiene culture’ clean scent: like when you take care of yourself daily, your clothes smell good, you have a light sweat, and cleanliness accumulates until you become the perfume itself. It’s hard to explain, but it smells amazing. It reminds me a bit of Houbigant’s Bois Mystique, only without the sting. As I said, it’s all the good stuff, suitable for any occasion and temperature. The only downside: it doesn’t last. It has poor sillage and costs too much for what it lasts. It’s a shame; I like it so much that I’d definitely wear it as a signature for years, but at that price, I’d go bankrupt with its short duration. On skin, it lasts an hour and a half or two, and this being generous. On clothes, much longer, of course. And it leaves a wonderful scent behind. I don’t understand these perfumers who create tremendous fragrances but make them so weak. Isn’t the whole point of the business that people notice the perfume, admire how you smell, and start looking for it to buy? Anyway.

  1828 is an aroma that could be categorized as the epitome of masculine, perfectly combining the aromatic notes of pine and eucalyptus with the spice of nutmeg and pepper. It also maintains a fresh accord that makes it even better, reminiscent of colognes like Brut or Old Spice, but with another level of aromatic quality and depth. From the classic side, I think it’s one of the best, and I believe if it falls short on longevity (which isn’t my case), nothing can’t be fixed with a reapplication. I really like it; it’s super easy to use, and despite smelling a bit vintage, I feel these aromas are timeless. Rating: 8.5/10.

  1828 smells like a man by definition: it blends pine and eucalyptus with nutmeg and pepper. It has that freshness reminiscent of classic colognes, but with much more depth. It’s one of my favorite classics; if it fades, a quick reapplication fixes it instantly. Although it smells a bit vintage, its notes are timeless. Rating: 8.5/10.
