HOW IT WEARS
This fragrance is an Eau de Parfum and the longevity with Histories de Parfums is generally about 6 – 8 hours, however we really get around 8 hours with this particular scent, and it leaves such a wonderfully seductive trail. After a few hours the richness of this scent remains. Opening with sweet and juicy fruits mixed with delicious spices, we find the Rose becomes more pronounced while maintaining its fruity and sweet decadence.
LORE LOVES
This is the scent of the sexual revolution. Revolution and rebellion meet to dive into this gourmand, mouth-watering scent. If the Chocolate isn’t enough of an aphrodisiac, then the fruits and spices paired with a hint of coffee will leave you wishing that you started every day the same, weak at the knees with a quick spritz of 1969.
ABOUT THE BRAND
From the incredible imagination of Gerald Ghislain, Histoires de Parfums is an olfactive library telling stories of famous characters, writers, poets and years throughout history. With this perfume library, Gerald Ghislain wanted to evoke stories through scent just as books are written with emotions. Each fragrance brings a story to life and each story is to be read on the skin.
Aniela –
I was lucky enough to first experience Histoires de parfums when I was in Paris in January. Their boutique was gorgeous and the stories behind each scent are so intriguing. I purchased a discovery set and found that 1969 was my clear stand out, so I bought a larger bottle. The warm, spicy qualities are very attractive but it can get a little dirty, by design I’m sure. I’d definitely recommend trialing on skin first.
rose –
This fragrance is unique! I love it’s multi faceted composition, it is worthy of trying. I find it is effervescent, sweet and earthy, gourmand notes I can pick up on are chocolate, coffee and peach, I do not get much patchouli, but these notes give a fizzy effect, very fun indeed..my party fragrance.
