1969

Had I relied on fragrantica reviews, I would have never bought this gem. How come dated! It is not dated whatsoever. When it comes to dated perfumes the definition can be applied to other popular peach bombs - The One (D&G) comes instantly to my mind, not necessarily in the wrong manner. This here item is a different opera. After the initial delicious, smiting, determined and resinous blast, a photorealistic peach emerges. It is a concept rather than a ripe fruit. Here it comes shiny, sunny, self-asserting. What comes next is a total mystery to me. As a rule, the cacao-coffee combo is stomping ruthlessly on my perceptions and making perfumes devoid of their overtones and colours. This is not the case at all! I can detect a weird, almost fougerish mint-like note, lingering for hours, which elevates and enlightens the whole composition. It reminds me of the natural scent and taste of mastic gum. The small, coniferous plant is grown on the isle of Chios and its resin is used in medicine, perfumery and the production of liquor. As children we would buy the small beads from the chemist and would chew them. To my nose the cacao is detectable only as a milky touch to the lactonic experience. I am unable to recognize neither this notorious rose nor the coffee. Nonetheless, at the end of the day (i.e. the waxy dry-down) the peach is still alive and kicking which is marvelous. And last but not least, HdP offer exceptional value for money, especially today, when perfumes are becoming menacingly expensive and especially pleasantly surprising for a reputable niche brand. Love, love, love.

This was a blind buy and I have no regrets but it was not love at first spray. For me, the opening is very strong patchouli and clove. Too much. But the longer I wear it the more I love it. It dries down to fruity sweetness with a smooth spicy tone. It reminds me of a now defunct goth store we used to shop at in the 90's that had a section of at least 20 varieties of unpackaged incense. I used to hang around there just for that smell so the nostalgia factor is huge. The peach and white flowers are not in your face, in fact barely distinguishable at all, but I guess that's where the sweet tones are coming from? I dunno. What I do know is, if I'm going to wear this I have to spray it well before I leave the house so by the time people smell me they're not being nose pummeled with patchouli. Unfortunately not great for longevity, maybe 4-5 hours on clothes, far less on skin.

A Great Amber Spicy Fragrance, Fruity, Sweet, Spicy and Complex. This perfume has Well-blended Composition, I don't like Gourmand or The Rose note in Perfume for Men but It has Well-balanced perfectly . It reminds me a bit of Upper Ten by Lubin for The Peach note, but It is not the same. It is sweet but It is not cloying. You can't go wrong with it. If you like The Peach, Chocolate and Patchouli notes, You will like this one. It opens up with fruity peachy, spices and floral notes in the background then dry down is sweet creamy vanilla Chocolate Patchouli vibe undertone. This is suitable for the all seasons. I tried it on my skin in store and I received a sample of that last week. 1969 Parfum is on my Radar and I will buy it, I fell in love with it at first sniff ! Longevity is Good. Highly Recommended.

What can I say other than I feel most like myself when I’m wearing this perfume. In my four years of layering 1969 with my vanilla body oil, wearing it brings to mind all the compliments from total strangers and loved ones like rewinding a tape. While the peach and white flower notes are the strongest on me, the cardamom and mexican chocolate melt down into this delicious gourmand scent when given enough time. Warm and inviting fragrances quickly became a revelation and my new personal favorites. Surprise, suprise. It was my first big indulgence, and for that it continues to be a sentimental reminder of how capable and deserving I am of beautiful things. It’s innate to make extra time to feel, look, and have everything in my life together now.

I love this one so much I bought a full bottle! I wear this whenever I need to feel powerful, because this perfume makes me feel like I could give a commanding speech, win an impossible argument, or lure anyone into my lair. I feel like, really INTO myself when I wear this? It’s such a trip! 😂 I don’t get a ton of peach, but the chocolate and cardamom and coffee are super scrumptulescent and the patchouli gives it this tousled sex-hair kind of vibe. It’s a sexy scent. It’s definitely more of a fall/winter scent, but I’m curious to try this out on a hot summer night and see how I like it. Longevity is 5+ hours and it radiates from you like the aura of an It-Girl.
