Mauboussin - Une Histoire de Femme Sensuelle 90ml (3 Fl Oz) - Eau de Parfum for Women - Floral, Musky & Gourmand Scents

This was rhe best blind buy! I get so many compliments. This fragrance smells of baby powder, but in an adult way. It makes me feel like confident abd fresh. Less is more with this fragrance. 2 sprays can last all day. I love it!!!

Sexy, Warm and Cozy. Perfect freshly showered pajama and cuddles scent.

First impressions, as I just received this today: Most of the time, I am drawn to experimental and complex fragrance combinations that have weird notes like "wet concrete" in them and others find challenging. But there are days that I want to spend on easy mode; wafting through life like a warmish spring breeze that vaguely carries the scent of laundry drying and moonflowers opening on the vine. This is one of those fragrances.To me, this is spring days, summer evenings, flowy fabrics, and indie radio playing faintly from another room. It's just distinct enough to be hard to place, but not loud-- just quietly present. Nivea creme isn't a bad starting place for a reference point, but far more floral and perfumey compared to this. There is a pretty sharp red licorice note coming through in the opening, however, if you were eating it next to a swimming pool, but fortunately that calms down after a bit. Une Histoire ultimately falls into that "clean skin but better" profile.If I pick up any distinct floral notes at all, in fact, "moonflower" is definitely the closest description. If you've never smelled moonflowers, they are a night-blooming climber in warm climates that give off a soft scent of suntan lotion (but no coconut) with a hint of honeysuckle.I feel like I overuse the term "well-blended" in reviews, but solely for the fact that I only buy "well-blended" perfumes. Once again, that's a trait I like about Une Histoire as well. It's not "too" of any one thing; too floral, too gourmand, too soapy, too fruity (I don't smell any fruit at all), too powdery, too musky or too milky. It's all of those things, but so proportionally that I can't tell them apart individually.I'll probably enjoy wearing this alone but it does make a great blank canvas for layering if you want to bring out one or more of the particular elements for emphasis. You could easily go more fruity, more powder, more gourmand, or add some blue notes and so on just by what you add. To experiment with this, on one arm I layered Une Histoire with Jovan White Musk-- an old favorite-- and the other with MiracleLayer 01 & 02, a combo of iso e super and ambroxan, to give me a shot of cedar and ambergris. THAT arm is a banger.Une Histoire is youthful without being juvenile, clean without being soapy, smooth, and has something faintly aquatic in the drydown without sharpness. Great for casual wear, breezy moods, easy mode, romantic picnics, and anytime you want a little lightness. I won't be reaching for this on dressy occasions.All in all: You could do far worse than this quality and price point acquiring a similar fragrance from another house.

I love the scent, it is yummy, and sexy at the same time. I love it!

If you love the smell of white musk, caramel, white rose this is the scent for you. This smells so clean and fresh. No vanilla but pairs well with it. Very feminine and last about 6hrs.

Weak projection no sillage and ephemeral.Fresh sweet scent perfect for teenagers.Not a Value for money as quality is weak.Has a fresh laundry or out of the shower scent to it.Perfume collectors avoid this one.

This is yummy. Fresh, creamy, clean with a bit of sweetness. I dont know why more people don't talk about this fragrance. You don't need a lot of sprays. Lasts all day on me

At first I did not like it at all. I was like oh noo ma’am! Butttt I was like ok let me wear it and see. It’s growing on me for sure. It’s such a different smell. Once it’s on the skin the scent changes into a light powdery fresh scent.
