Original 1910 vs Modern Quartz Men

Shared character

Both Original 1910 and Modern Quartz Men contain the same core citrus‑green‑lavender backbone: lemon, mandarin, lavender, tarragon, guaiac wood, musk and leather. Their shared accords are citrus, woody, green, aromatic, fresh‑spicy and lavender, giving each a bright, slightly herbaceous opening that leans into a leathery‑woody dry‑down.

How they differ

Original 1910 adds a pronounced warm‑spicy‑ambery side with mint, geranium, grapefruit, nutmeg, patchouli, cinnamon, tonka bean, lime, mandarin orange, cypress and additional guaiac wood, creating an oriental‑amber character. Modern Quartz Men diverges toward a clean fougère profile, introducing cedarwood, sandalwood, clary sage, rosemary, tangerine, fig leaf, lemon verbena, verbena, liatris and teak wood, and brings sweet‑powdery nuances. The unique accords reflect this split: Original 1910 is described as ambery (oriental), cinnamon‑spicy and warm, while Modern Quartz Men is aromatic fougère, sweet and powdery.

Who each suits

Original 1910 will likely appeal to wearers who favor richer, warm‑spicy, amber‑oriental scents—those who enjoy evening or formal settings and appreciate a more classic, depth‑filled composition. Modern Quartz Men is suited to those who prefer a fresher, aromatic fougère experience with sweet‑powdery undertones—ideal for daytime, casual or modern‑styled occasions.
