How does this fragrance perform in hot weather?+−
1681 is highly regarded for its performance in humidity. Because it leans on dry herbs, iris, and light woods rather than heavy resins, it remains fresh and sophisticated even in high heat without becoming cloying.
Is this suitable for a professional office environment?+−
Yes. Many users find this to be an ideal business fragrance. It is polished and "perfumery" in style but maintains a moderate sillage that is unlikely to overwhelm colleagues.
How prominent is the iris note?+−
The iris is a core component of the heart, providing a clean, powdery texture. However, it is balanced by black pepper and rosemary, so it feels more like a "barbershop" iris than a sweet or "lipsticky" one.
What is the main difference between the opening and the dry down?+−
The opening is very green and herbal, dominated by thyme and citrus. As it wears, those sharp notes depart, leaving behind a smooth, creamy base of sandalwood, vanilla, and light incense.
