Besame Cosmetics 1910. "Art Nouveau, Belle Epoque, Klimt, 1910s Floriental". 
I purchased the discovery set from Besame during a promotion. I already had 1930 (so I won't be re-reviewing it). 1910 is the first I'm testing out of the ones new to me.
With 1910, Besame has created a period accurate fragrance. This is a classic floriental with the orange flower, ylang-ylang, jasmine, and peony being the most prominent to my nose. The lemon was present but only in the introduction. The base is nicely rounded with a nubuck and civet made slightly softer and creamier by the addition of the vanilla and sandalwood. Neither the vanilla or sandalwood seem to "speak" out on their own but instead simply change the character of the other two base notes.

Top notes: lemon, orange-flower, ylang-ylang
Heart notes: tuberose, saffron, jasmine, peony
Base notes: nubuck, vanilla, civet, sandalwood
