What does Histoire d'Amour (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
The opening of bergamot, osmanthus, basil and tangerine brings a light fruity brightness. In the heart, orange blossom, ylang-ylang, jasmine, rose and narcissus build the floral body. The base of patchouli, oakmoss absolute, amber, honey and sandalwood settles into a powdery, resinous, earthy warmth.
Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters pick fall, followed by spring and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out. It reads feminine and classic. Halston Halston and Prada Prada have a close profile.
