Monochrome

Monochrome by House Of Nineteen Eighty Four is a Chypre fragrance for women and men. Monochrome was launched in 2024. Monochrome was created by Faisal Al Dosari and Mark Buxton. Top notes are Citrus and Pepper; middle notes are cannabis and Sweat; base notes are Musk, Atlas Cedar, Labdanum and Vetiver. A memory of the good old days of analog photography comes alive with a random childhood visit to a quaint photography store. This twist on a classic chypre perfume captures nostalgia in monochromatic hues. The top note opens with the distinctive scent of film developing solution, mingled with zesty citrus and a hint of pepper. It transports you back to those moments of anticipation, waiting for images to emerge from the darkroom. At the heart of this fragrance lies a bouquet of memories. The scent of a photographer's sweat, the chemical tang of freshly printed instant film, and a subtle trace of Maryjane evoke the warmth and creativity of those bygone days. The base note settles into a grounding blend of vetiver and cedar atlas, with a faint hint of musk. This combination recalls the aroma of old photo albums, wooden camera cases, and the lingering essence of moments captured forever.
