Été Indien

7.3

Histoires d'Eaux · 2012

Citrus · Floral · Sweet

Histoires d'Eaux Été Indien, despite its summery name, leans towards fall and winter evenings as a sweet, resinous unisex scent; it has been discontinued. Most voters pick fall and winter, and it is chosen most often for evenings and nights out. Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good. It reads more feminine to most voters, though it works as unisex. It opens with lemon, bergamot and elemi resin, then moves into geranium and clary sage. The base is led by tolu balm, labdanum, styrax, vanilla and patchouli, and the citrus freshness gives way to a sweet, spicy, powdery and woody warmth. Laboratorio Olfattivo Kashnoir and Guerlain Shalimar Philtre de Parfum have a close profile.

Citrus · Floral · Sweet

Histoires d'Eaux Ne me quitte pas is a feminine perfume that pairs a fresh opening of lemon and bergamot with jasmine absolute over a warm, powdery base of patchouli and labdanum; it has been discontinued. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring next and summer well behind. Leisure and evening are the most common settings, and night out and business also get a fair share. It reads feminine. The top notes of lemon and bergamot give it a bright citrus start. In the heart, jasmine absolute adds a soft floral touch, while the base of patchouli and labdanum turns woody and resinous, and the powdery notes bring a sweet, gourmand edge. A spicy shade runs alongside. Chanel Le Lion de Chanel and Histoires d'Eaux Été Indien have a close profile.

Maladie d'Amour

Histoires d'Eaux · 2012

Floral · Fruity · Sweet

Histoires d'Eaux Maladie d'Amour is a unisex perfume that builds a spicy, woody frame from sandalwood, cinnamon and curry, then tilts towards the gourmand with banana and coconut milk; it has been discontinued. The scent reads as a single piece: sandalwood and cedarwood give a woody base, while cinnamon, clove and curry add a warm, spiced edge. Red fruits and banana bring a sweet, fruity softness on top of that, and coconut milk pulls the whole thing towards a creamy sweetness. Floral and synthetic accents stay in the background. Hugo Boss Boss Bottled Intense and Pierre Guillaume 05 L'Eau de Circé have a close profile.

Comme d'Habitude

7.0

Histoires d'Eaux · 2012

Fresh · Citrus · Green

Histoires d'Eaux Comme d'Habitude is a fresh, spicy fragrance for men that pairs mandarin orange, lemon and bergamot with coriander, cardamom and cinnamon; it has been discontinued. It opens on citrus: mandarin orange, lemon and bergamot mix with the dry spice of coriander and cardamom and the warmth of cinnamon. The heart brings thyme, chamomile and leather, adding a green, leathery side. The base of frankincense, resins, patchouli and vetiver settles the scent onto a woody, resinous footing, while sweet and powdery touches soften it. Fresh, citrus and green accords lead. Its profile is close to Caron Le 3ᵉ Homme (Eau de Toilette) and Halston Z-14 (Cologne).
