1899 Hemingway

1899 Hemingway by Histoires de Parfums is a refined, unisex oriental fragrance with a fresh, spicy opening centered on black pepper, juniper, and bergamot. It gradually transforms into a warm, creamy blend of cinnamon, vanilla, and amber, with subtle iris and vetiver adding depth. The scent is grounded in a professional elegance, evoking an atmosphere of intellectual sophistication — like an old library or a well-worn leather armchair in a winter evening. It’s less blunt than its cousin Spicebomb, offering a smoother, more balanced composition with a moderate sillage and longevity. While some note its similarity to other spicy gourmands like Vetiver & Golden Vanilla or Initio Rehab, the influence of bergamot and juniper gives it a distinctive aromatic freshness that elevates it above generic spicy scents. It’s suitable for fall and winter days or cooler evenings, complementing professional or intimate settings without dominating. Its versatility and refined quality make it ideal for those seeking a mature, wearable, and well-blended scent that leans masculine but comfortably suits all genders.
