Memories of rebelliousness in London — an intoxicating fig with second-skin allure. Black pepper-spiked fig flows into the dewy luminosity of soft florals atop a velvety warm embrace of musk, blonde woods and vetiver bourbon.

Reviews Summary
Customers say this fragrance is warm, musky, and beautifully balanced with fig and floral notes that feel fresh and sophisticated. Many appreciate its versatility as an everyday scent or special occasion wear, with numerous mentions of receiving compliments. The scent layers well with other fragrances and evokes nostalgic 1980s vibes. Common feedback notes that while the fragrance smells amazing, it has limited longevity and fades relatively quickly, requiring reapplication throughout the day. A small number of customers found it didn't work with their body chemistry or found it too subtle.

    One of My Favorites

    London 1983 has quickly become one of my favorite fragrances, right alongside Dave. It’s warm, sophisticated, and easy to wear without being overpowering. I love how versatile it is, whether I’m wearing it during the day or going out for the evening. Definitely one I’ll keep in my collection.

    1983 was the year I graduated high school, in a small town in the Pacific North west. I couldn’t wait to move to Seattle, and when I did I would often sit outside Nordstrom, at the coffee kiosk, wearing a long black mohair coat with black leather boots, and Ray-ban sunglasses sipping a latte. I would sit for hours watching people, and smelling the high end fragrances coming from the store and the strong fresh espresso being poured. I think of those wonderful days when I wear London 1983!

    To me this is a calming woody, floral, santal. And totally unisex.

    And the best part is I can wear it to work at the hospital I work at because of the non toxic ingredients!

    London 1983 and Torn are my favorites from Henry Rose.

    Thanks so much Michelle for creating this line of fragrances!- Michael Nickovich, Seattle Washington
