  Although marketed as feminine, this Histoires de Parfums has delighted me for not being shouty; it blends gourmand and rose notes with a hint of chocolate and musk that adds opacity. It opens with fresh peach and sweet Milka-style chocolate, but soon the roses take over. In my opinion, the initial phase smells a bit soapy, which is strange with chocolate. Fortunately, that sensation disappears as it dries. I found the longevity disappointing, as almost everything fades, leaving only the chocolate clinging to the skin. Still, it was tasty and fun. Perhaps the original spray lasts longer than my decanted samples.

  This Histoires de Parfums, despite being marketed as feminine, proved very pleasant to wear as it isn’t excessively floral or shouty. It’s a nice fusion of gourmand/fruity notes and roses, where musk and chocolate create a certain opacity. On my skin, it begins with a duo of juicy peach and chocolate (sweet like Milka), though the chocolate lingers more. Then the roses emerge until they dominate the fragrance. I found it unisex but too soapy at the start, which is odd with chocolate, although that sensation vanishes as it dries. The sillage is good, but the longevity is disappointing: almost everything fades, leaving only the chocolate right up against the skin. It was tasty and fun; perhaps with the original bottle the longevity would improve compared to my decanted samples.

  An interesting fragrance I recall from two years ago. It opens deliciously with exquisite peach mixed with flowers and spices, a very striking phase. Gradually, chocolate, coffee, and musky patchouli enter at the end. As with other perfumes from the brand, the problem is that the dry-down is great but the evolution becomes boring and linear, which is disappointing. It’s gourmand without being cloying, unisex, and very wearable. If the initial phase lasted longer or the dry-down were less monotonous, it would always be in my collection. Longevity and sillage are only moderate.

  Although marketed as feminine, this Histoires de Parfums has been very pleasant to wear, nothing shouty or excessively floral. It’s a nice blend of gourmand/fruity notes and roses, with ingredients like musk and chocolate creating a certain opacity that disguises its feminine air. In my case, it starts with a duo of juicy, fresh, and cheerful peach and chocolate, both at similar intensity levels, though the chocolate note is longer-lasting and ultimately leaves you with just that scent; the website specifies Mexican chocolate, but to give you an idea, it’s like sweet Milka milk chocolate. Soon after, the rose notes appear, gaining intensity until they become the most perceptible. It’s unisex but, in my opinion, too soapy at first, which doesn’t leave a good feeling accompanying the chocolate gourmand note; it feels somewhat strange to my taste. Fortunately, as the scent loses strength during the dry-down, that initial sensation disappears. Despite having good sillage and seemingly good longevity, you soon discover that almost everything has vanished, leaving only the chocolate scent right up against the skin. In summary, I liked it quite a bit; it seemed tasty and fun. Although its durability seemed low, one must consider that I’ve always used an ‘open’ sample without a sprayer, and if I decide to buy a bottle, the quality in this aspect might improve.

  1969, how could one forget a timeless classic? The fragrance unfolds in three distinct acts: it begins with a fruity-spicy blend where a juicy, aldehydic peach feels sweet with a smoky hint from cardamom; then a clove-rose duo takes centre stage, with the clove dominating to create a classic bouquet that, paired with a juicy, fresh, powdery rose, generates a very marked and pleasant floral-spicy effect, a long-lasting floral phase very similar to the base of legends like L’Air du Temps by Nina Ricci. The dry-down, with a more modern air yet without losing its classic structure, extends this spicy-musky phase with a potent patchouli, chocolate, and a touch of coffee. The patchouli provides a woody support, the chocolate (black) seems an extension of the rose with a sweet, powdery dry nuance that fits perfectly with the dry-down, making it diffuse well as a classic iris-wood body, and the musk gives this fragrance excellent longevity. Rating: 8/10

  1969 is a timeless classic that evolves across three acts: it opens juicy and slightly smoky with peach and cardamom, then explodes into a floral-spicy blend of carnation and rose reminiscent of L’Air du Temps, before drying down to a modern touch of patchouli, dark chocolate, and coffee. The result is an iris and wood base with excellent longevity, very complete and pleasant. Rating: 8/10.

  Absolutely sensational, although it eventually becomes more generic due to the white musk. That phase of velvety peach, with the vanilla-infused chocolate and the soft coffee-rose-spice combo, really captivates me. Again, one of those that I struggle to wear for fear of getting tired of it.

  It opens with fruits, highlighting peach and a milky, unsweet chocolate. Then rose and cloves with spices arrive; initially cardamomo dominates, but the clove gains strength. The rose is velvety, fruity and delicate, without being cloying. The peach and chocolate cede some prominence to the flowers, maintaining a decent balance. In the dry down, the rose calms and leaves a chocolatey scent with fruity and floral nuances, with clove lingering in the background. The longevity is excellent, it keeps smelling all day and projects well for hours. Although it is unisex, I see it as more feminine due to the peach and rose. The opening hasn’t convinced me; the peach overwhelms my skin and is a difficult note for me. Moreover, for much of its evolution it smells very feminine and I don’t feel comfortable with it. I enjoy it more in the final phase, with the rose and peach more settled. In summary, it is a good perfume, well-made and of quality, but it is not for me.

  At first, fruity notes with peach as the star, paired with a milk chocolate that’s creamy and unsweetened. Then, rose and an unlisted carnation blend with spices; cardamomo dominates initially, but cloves gain strength over time. The rose is velvety, fruity, and delicate without being cloying. Here, the peach and chocolate yield slightly to the florals, though they remain well-balanced. As it dries down, the rose softens, leaving a chocolatey base with fruity and floral nuances, underscored by cloves. The performance is top-notch: I haven’t stopped smelling it all day, and it lasts for hours with great projection. Although it’s marketed as unisex, on my skin it leans more feminine due to the peach and rose. The opening didn’t convince me, as the peach overwhelmed me, and for much of the evolution, it smelled too feminine for my taste. I enjoy it most in the dry-down, when the rose and peach have settled. In summary, it’s a well-executed, quality fragrance, but simply not for me.

  It smells like hair lacquer, styling water and shampoo. Very much a hair care product.

  I’d describe it as intriguing… at first, the most noticeable note is the clove with fruity undertones, followed by a wet rose paired with earthy patchouli. It finishes with a base of bitter chocolate and a very subtle roasted coffee. It’s for those who enjoy scents like Tom Ford’s Black Orchid or a wet rose that isn’t quite as ‘jammy’ as in Café Rose, or perhaps something more commercial, maybe a Coco Noir by Chanel.

  I’m a big fan of fruity perfumes… apple, apricot, peach, pineapple, watermelon, strawberry… but I struggle to enjoy them if they’re central. I love Femme de Rochas, but only for a short while, until I can’t stand the synthetic apricot (like most fruits except citrus) which is persistent and imposing. With this one, it’s the same; the dreamy pink-patchouli accord with spicy notes is lovely, but so much fruit, so much apricot no matter how velvety it is, becomes irritating. If you enjoy well-crafted, fluid fruity accords, this might be for you. It has a sense of ‘letting go’ or ‘letting go’, I get the ‘hippy’ vibe they’ve tried to integrate.
