Inspiration

This fragrance captures the essence of George Sand—the revolutionary 19th-century writer who defied gender norms with her masculine attire, cigar-smoking audacity, and literary brilliance. A woman of contrasts, she was both fierce and tender, intellectual and sensual, at home in Parisian salons as much as in the wild gardens of Nohant. 1804 mirrors her spirit: a bold yet graceful composition that refuses to be confined, blending fiery independence with an earthy, poetic soul.


Scent Profile

The top notes burst with the sunlit decadence of Tahitian gardenia, Corsican peach, and Hawaiian pineapple—a lush, almost rebellious fruity-floral opening that echoes Sand’s vivacious charm. At its heart, clove and nutmeg smolder alongside Indian jasmine, lily of the valley, and rose, merging spice with floral softness, much like her writing balanced passion with delicate introspection. The base lingers with the warmth of patchouli, sandalwood, and benzoin, smoothed by vanilla and white musk—a trail as timeless as her legacy, both grounding and ethereal.
