1723 by Superz Budapest

With fall finally here, I had the opportunity to use my bottle of 1723 by Superz Budapest, a fragrance I picked up during my travels in Europe. I found this gem at the Superz boutique in downtown Budapest, Hungary, and I've been eager to share my thoughts after wearing it a couple of times.

Upon the initial spray, 1723 offers a delightful burst of green apple that quickly intertwines with rich, creamy lavender and vanilla. The opening is reminiscent of a high-end candle—inviting and warm, yet distinctly unique. Within about five minutes, the scent evolves, introducing light floral notes that enhance the experience while keeping the apple, lavender, and vanilla as the dominant aromas. Ten minutes in, the vanilla becomes increasingly rich and noticeable, deepening the fragrance with a lovely woody patchouli that lingers at the base. The overall impression is akin to relaxing in an upscale lounge with beautifully scented candles flickering nearby.

In terms of performance, I was pleasantly surprised by how well this extrait de parfum holds up. On clothes, it projects strongly for a solid three hours and keeps a noticeable presence for over ten hours, maintaining a reach of about two feet.

I found 1723 to be quite similar to Layton by Parfums de Marly. If you already own Layton, 1723 may be redundant. However, I recommend trying this fragrance first if you're considering adding one of them to your collection. I find that 1723 offers better performance and a more natural scent profile—free from the VapoRub note that occasionally emerges in Layton.

Overall, I genuinely enjoy 1723, and interestingly enough, my wife shares my enthusiasm. This scent stood out to her as well, alongside Unique Blue, while we were at the boutique. If you're on the hunt for a fresh, sophisticated fragrance, I recommend giving 1723 a try.
