Histoires de Parfums is a French niche house founded in 2000 that builds its collections around historical narratives and periods. 1740 is part of their signature line, with the number referencing the year of the fragrance's historical inspiration.

1740 opens with artemisia and bergamot, establishing a bright, slightly herbaceous top that quickly gives way to its spiced heart. Patchouli, cardamom, and coriander create a warm, slightly dry middle that leans aromatic rather than sweet. The base is where the fragrance reveals its complexity, layering leather and immortelle over a woody foundation of Virginia cedar and birch, with French labdanum and elemi resin adding resinous depth and vanilla providing subtle sweetness. This is a fragrance built on woody, amber-tinged accords with real textural interest from the leather and spice.

1740 works well for someone seeking a sophisticated fragrance with enough structure to wear year-round, though it's particularly suited to cooler months. It's equally at home in professional settings or casual wear, though its slightly austere personality appeals more to those who appreciate complexity over immediate charm. If you gravitate toward The Sensualist, The Aristocrat, and The Homesteader, this deserves your attention.

Fragrance Notesbrand verified
Top · 0–30 min
Artemisia
Artemisia
The wormwood family, artemisia adds a dry, herbal, slightly bitter greenness that evokes wild Mediterranean hillsides and ancient apothecaries. It's the botanical that gives absinthe its distinctive aura. In perfumery it grounds compositions in something honest and slightly difficult, which makes them feel more real.
Bergamot
Bergamot
A sun-ripened Italian citrus with a brightness that goes beyond lemon, simultaneously tart, floral, and slightly spicy. It's the defining note of Earl Grey tea and the backbone of countless fresh colognes. Perfumers love it as an opener because it lifts the entire composition without overpowering what follows.
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
Patchouli
Patchouli
Dense, earthy, and darkly sweet, patchouli is the scent of damp soil and dried herbs with an almost chocolatey richness. It polarizes people because in high concentrations it's overwhelming, but as a supporting note it adds depth and longevity that almost nothing else can match. The backbone of countless oriental and chypre fragrances.
Cardamom
Cardamom
Aromatic, warm, and slightly eucalyptus-like with a spiced green freshness that is entirely its own. Cardamom is one of the most elegant spice notes in perfumery, exotic without being heavy, warm without being sweet. It appears frequently in Middle Eastern-inspired fragrances and modern masculine compositions.
Coriander
Coriander
Warm, spicy, and faintly citrusy, coriander seed smells quite different from the green herb, with a dry, woody warmth and a slight floral quality. It adds a spiced, slightly exotic character to masculine fragrances without the sharpness of pepper or the sweetness of vanilla. A supporting spice note that adds complexity.
Base · 3–12 hrs
Immortelle
Immortelle
Also known as helichrysum or everlasting flower, immortelle has one of the most distinctive smells in natural perfumery: warm, honeyed, and curry-like, with notes of maple syrup and chamomile. Its unusual, almost edible character makes it a polarising note that is unforgettable when used well. A signature of certain Provençal fragrances.
Leather
Leather
One of perfumery's most complex accords, smoky, animalic, and slightly woody, evoking tanned hide, polished saddles, or fine gloves depending on the recipe. Leather adds sophistication and edge simultaneously, and is deeply associated with masculinity in Western perfumery (though the best leather fragrances transcend gender entirely).
French labdanum
French labdanum
Elemi resin
Elemi resin
Birch
Birch
Tarry, smoky, and distinctly medicinal, birch tar (used in classic leather fragrances) has an almost petroleum-like quality that creates unmistakable leather accords. Birch leaf, by contrast, is clean and green. Birch tar is not for the timid: it's the note that makes old-school Russian Leather fragrances smell like what they are.
Vanilla
Vanilla
Warm, sweet, and universally appealing, vanilla is to fragrance what salt is to cooking. Real vanilla is complex and slightly smoky, though most perfumery vanilla is synthetic and reads as clean, sweet, and creamy. It slows the evaporation of other notes and is the reason certain fragrances feel like a second skin.
Virginia Cedar
Virginia Cedar
Warm, slightly sweet, and clean, Virginia cedarwood is the most commonly used cedar in mainstream perfumery. It has a familiar, pencil-cedar smell with a soft warmth that makes it universally approachable. Less assertive than Atlas cedar, it acts as a quiet, reliable base note in hundreds of commercial fragrances.
