The Story
1876 Mata Hari is a tribute to the exotic dancer and spy, blending spicy florals with a warm, animalic base. The 2019 reformulation softens the original's leather and adds a creamier sandalwood, making it more wearable while keeping its seductive character. It opens with a burst of blackcurrant and bergamot, then blooms with jasmine and ylang-ylang, settling into a rich blend of vanilla, musk, and sandalwood.
