Histoire d'Eau Améthyste

Mauboussin · 2003

Fresh · Citrus · Floral

Mauboussin Histoire d'Eau Améthyste is a fresh, citrus-led floral for women with a green edge; it has been discontinued. Mandarin orange and orange give the scent its bright, fruity character. Peony and white blossoms soften that freshness and bring the floral side forward. Blond woods and musk stay in the background, setting everything on a lightly woody, powdery base. Spicy, resinous and earthy shades are present among the accords but never dominate; the overall impression is clean, green and floral.

Eau de Parfum

Mauboussin Le Secret d'Arielle Eau de Parfum is a women's fragrance that opens with iris, white blossoms and pink pepper, moves into a floral heart of rose and tuberose, and rests on musk. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are only a rough guide. It reads feminine, with fresh and floral accords alongside powdery and creamy ones. The opening pairs iris and white blossoms with a light peppery spice. In the heart, rose and tuberose lead while amber warms the scent and adds an oriental softness. Musk stays at the base and closes the floral texture on a powdery, creamy note. Swarovski Aura Eau de Parfum and Georges Rech Belle Divinité have a close profile.

Emotion Divine

4.5

Mauboussin · 2007

Floral · Green · Fruity

Mauboussin Emotion Divine is a feminine fragrance that sets a floral, fruity body against gourmand sweetness; it has been discontinued. It opens with white pepper, green leaves and bitter orange for a sharp, green start, while caramel and salted butter slip a soft, edible sweetness underneath. In the heart, white peach, passion flower and mango bring a fruity, floral sweetness. The base of musk, vanilla and milk settles into a creamy, powdery warmth. Green, sweet, oriental and chypre accords sit alongside it, with a slightly synthetic sheen. Nicolaï Macaron Bourbon and Jeanne Arthes Candy Land have a close profile.
