A tribute to iconic chypre fragrances, 1993 plays with the fruity succulence of peach crashing into dense chocolate, before a final dance-off with earthy, almost minty patchouli. A commanding perfume with serrated edges. Dangerous.
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
1993 suits a close, animated conversation where sweetness need not mean softness. Its peach-and-chocolate richness offers an inviting first impression, but the earthy patchouli keeps the mood firm and unsentimental—a fragrance for holding your ground rather than blending into the room.
How to wear
Cool weather is a sensible starting point for this dense, forceful composition. Begin with one spray on the torso and assess its reach before adding more; beneath clothing, the fruity richness and earthy patchouli can unfold without dominating shared space. Use an especially light hand in warmth.
Who it’s for
For lovers of assertive, old-school chypres who welcome a gourmand twist. It will appeal most to those who enjoy substantial patchouli, woody textures and fruit tempered by darker material rather than straightforward sweetness.

The nose
Brahim Mohamed is MABRA’s founder and perfumer, a self-taught independent creator whose work draws on personal experiences and close attention to raw materials. Working in small batches from his French workshop, he takes a hands-on approach to fragrance making. In 1993, he revisits chypre perfumery through the contrasting textures of juicy peach, dense chocolate and earthy patchouli.
Mabra’s story
MABRA is an independent French house built around Brahim Mohamed’s personal approach to perfumery. Small-batch production and hand assembly, bottling and packaging keep the work close to its creator. The house emphasizes craftsmanship, respect for raw materials and authentic creation rather than imitation.
1993’s concept
1993 pays tribute to iconic chypres and the boldness of the 1990s. Peach and chocolate give the nostalgic concept a fruity, gourmand richness, while earthy, almost minty patchouli supplies its harder edge. The title evokes an era rather than the perfume’s release year.
Extra info
Its full name is “1993 – The Chypre,” and it belongs to MABRA’s Collection Essentielle. Despite the date-like title, the fragrance was released in 2025.
