1725

Histoires de Parfums 1725 Casanova dupe, inspired by the original

Released in 2000, 1725 is named for the birth year of Giacomo Casanova and opened the Editions Rares series from Histoires de Parfums. Founder Gérald Ghislain built it as a sweet aromatic fragrance, charming and a little theatrical. Our interpretation carries that character in a long lasting Eau de Parfum, made in the EU.

The Story Behind the Scent

Histoires de Parfums tells its stories through dates, and 1725 belongs to Casanova, the Venetian famous for his charm. The fragrance was made to feel seductive and refined rather than loud. A clean, aromatic opening of bergamot, lavender and star anise gives way to a sweet heart of almond and caramel, softened by a wisp of incense, and the base settles into warm vanilla, cedar and musk. It is sweet and grown up at once, the kind of scent that feels quietly confident.

How Our Version Compares to the Original

We do not claim this is identical, because no interpretation is. What we have built follows the same sweet aromatic signature, from the lavender and anise opening to the vanilla and cedar base. Ours is blended at up to 40% perfume oil, higher than most sprays, so it projects clearly early on and stays close to the skin for hours. A little goes a long way, and it wears best in cooler weather and in the evening.

Who It’s For

1725 suits anyone who likes a sweet, aromatic scent with a refined edge. It is at its best in autumn and winter and in the evening, though its clean opening makes it easy to wear more widely. Unisex by nature, and a favourite with people who enjoy lavender, almond and vanilla together.

Notes

Top: Bergamot, Lavender, Star Anise

Heart: Almond, Caramel, Incense

Base: Vanilla, Cedarwood, Musk

How it Smells

It opens aromatic and bright, with bergamot and lavender lifted by a cool touch of star anise. There is a clean, slightly sweet freshness before the gourmand heart arrives.

Almond and caramel warm the middle into something soft and sweet, with a thread of incense keeping it from turning too sugary. The base is smooth and cosy, with vanilla, cedar and musk giving a long lasting warmth that stays close to the skin.
