  An interesting fragrance I remember from two years ago. It opens deliciously with exquisite peach mixed with flowers and spices, a very striking phase. Gradually, the chocolate, coffee, and musky patchouli enter at the end. Like 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 was less monotonous, it would always be in my closet. Longevity and sillage are only moderate.

  Although it’s feminine, this Histoires de Parfums was very pleasant for me to wear, not being anything loud or excessively floral. It’s a nice mix between gourmand/fruity and roses, with ingredients like musk and chocolate that create a certain opacity in the blend, disguising its feminine air. In my case, it starts with a duo of juicy, fresh, and cheerful peach and chocolate, both very equal in intensity, although the chocolate note is more lingering and at the end you feel it completely; the bottle specifies it’s Mexican chocolate, but to give you an idea, it’s like sweet Milka milk chocolate. Soon after, the rose notes appear, gaining intensity until becoming the most perceptible. It’s unisex but too soapy in my opinion; it doesn’t leave a good feeling accompanying the chocolate gourmand note, it becomes a bit strange for my taste. Fortunately, as it loses strength in the dry down, that initial sensation disappears. Despite having good sillage and seeming like longevity would be good, you suddenly discover that almost everything has disappeared leaving only the chocolate scent right on the skin. In summary, I liked it quite a bit, it seemed tasty and fun, and although its durability seemed low to me, one must consider that I always used an “open” sample without a sprayer, and if I decide to buy a bottle, the quality in this aspect might improve.

  This Histoires de Parfums, despite being feminine, was very pleasant to wear for me, not being overly floral or loud. It’s a nice fusion of gourmand/fruity notes and roses, where the musk and chocolate create a certain opacity. On my skin, it starts with a duo of juicy peach and chocolate (sweet like Milka), although the chocolate lasts longer. Then the roses come in until they dominate the fragrance. It seemed unisex to me but too soapy at the beginning, which is strange with the chocolate, although that sensation disappears as it dries. The sillage is good, but the longevity is disappointing: almost everything fades leaving only the chocolate right on the skin. It was tasty and fun; perhaps with the original bottle the longevity would be better than with my decanted samples.

  Although it’s feminine, I loved this Histoires de Parfums for not being loud; it mixes gourmand and roses with a touch of chocolate and musk that gives it opacity. It starts with fresh peach and sweet chocolate like Milka, but soon the roses take over, and in my opinion, the initial phase smells a bit like soap, which is strange with chocolate. Fortunately, that sensation disappears as it dries. The longevity seemed low to me, as almost everything fades leaving only the chocolate clinging to the skin. Still, it was tasty and fun. Maybe the spray version lasts longer than my decanted samples.

  1969, how could one forget a timeless classic? The fragrance unfolds in three clear acts: it begins with a fruity-spicy blend where a juicy, aldehydic peach feels sweet with a smoky touch from cardamomo; then a carnation-rose duo takes the stage, where clove dominates, creating a classic bouquet that, paired with a juicy, fresh, and powdery rose, generates a very marked and pleasant floral-spicy effect—a long-lasting floral phase very similar to the base of legends like Nina Ricci’s L’Air du Temps. The drydown has a more modern air but retains the classic structure, extending this spicy-musky phase with a potent patchouli, chocolate, and a bit of coffee. The patchouli provides woody support, the black chocolate seems like an extension of the rose with a sweet, powdery, dry nuance that fits the drydown perfectly, making it diffuse well like a classic iris-wood body, while the musk gives this fragrance excellent longevity. Rating: 8/10.

  1969 is a timeless classic that evolves in three acts: it starts juicy and slightly smoky with peach and cardamomo, then explodes into a floral-spicy blend of carnation and rose reminiscent of L’Air du Temps, and finally dries down with 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 makes me fall in love. Again, one of those that I struggle to wear for fear of getting tired of it.

  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 because I’m afraid of getting tired of it.

  It starts with fruits, highlighting peach and a milky, unsweet dark chocolate. Then comes the rose and clove with spices; initially, cardamomo dominates, but the clove gains strength. The rose is velvety, fruity, and delicate, not cloying. The peach and chocolate cede some protagonism to the flowers, maintaining a decent balance. In the dry down, the rose calms down, leaving a chocolatey scent with fruity and floral nuances, with clove in the background. The longevity is excellent; it keeps smelling all day and projects well for hours. Although it’s unisex, I see it as more feminine due to the peach and rose. The opening didn’t convince me; the peach saturates my skin and is a difficult note for me. Also, for most 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’s a good perfume, well-made and high quality, but it’s not for me.

  At first, it’s fruity with a peach protagonist and a chocolate that feels more milky white than bitter. Then, rose and an unlisted carnation blend with spices; cardamomo dominates at first, but clove gains strength over time. The rose is velvety, fruity, and delicate without being cloying. Here, the peach and chocolate yield slightly to the flowers, though they remain balanced. As it dries, the rose calms down, leaving a chocolatey base with fruity and floral touches, with clove lingering in the background. Performance is top-notch: I haven’t stopped smelling it all day, and it lasts for hours with great presence. Although it’s unisex, on my skin it feels more feminine due to the peach and rose. The opening didn’t convince me because the peach overwhelms me, and for most of the development, it smells too feminine for my taste. I enjoy it most at the end, with the rose and peach more settled. In short, it’s a well-executed, quality perfume, but it’s not for me.

  It smells like hair lacquer, hairspray, and shampoo. It’s a hair care product.

  I’d describe it as intriguing… at first, I notice clove with fruity hints, then a wet rose joins earthy patchouli, and finally, a base of dark chocolate with a very subtle roasted coffee. It’s for those who enjoy perfumes like Tom Ford’s Black Orchid or that non-sweet wet rose found in Café Rose, or perhaps something more commercial, maybe Chanel’s Coco Noir.

  I’m a huge fan of fruity perfumes—apple, apricot, peach, pineapple, watermelon, strawberry… but I struggle to enjoy them in the heart notes. I love Femme de Rochas, but only for a short while; eventually, I can’t stand the synthetic apricot (like most fruits except citrus) which is persistent and overpowering. This one does the same to me; the dreamy pink patchouli accord with spicy notes is beautiful, but so much fruit, so much apricot—even if it’s velvety—gets on my nerves. 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 tried to integrate.
