‘Thomas Kosmala’s 1938 is inspired by the evolution of Dillard’s from a single store in Nashville, Arkansas in 1938 to the industry leader of today. A universally wearable olfactory time capsule that blends nostalgia with modernity, Thomas pays homage to the history and heritage of the company and the Dillard’s family. The fragrance opens with a juicy cloud of blackcurrant and peach that dissolves into a soft touch of sophistication with vanilla absolute and jasmine. The dry down is a mist of dry woods and amber – a Thomas Kosmala signature. While creating this fragrance, Thomas was given access to clippings from the Dillard’s archive that document the retailer’s journey. The packaging design takes its cues from aged archival paper evoking a sense of stationery, receipts, and envelopes as though they were pulled from a Dillard’s time capsule.’ – Dillard’s
