Histoires de Parfums

Histoires de Parfums - New Zealand

Histoires de Parfums is an olfactory anthology that weaves captivating tales through scent, honouring iconic figures and historical moments. From the notorious Marquis de Sade to the legendary Ernest Hemingway, the collection is a celebration of remarkable lives, translated into fragrance through exceptional ingredients.

Perfumer Gérald Ghislain, the creative mind behind the brand, skillfully interprets these biographical narratives, transforming them into unforgettable aromas. Each fragrance in the collection is bold, unforgettable, and distinct. Take 1740, for example—this standout creation embodies the spirit of libertine freedom with its deep, earthy tones of leather and patchouli, capturing raw intensity and a daring sense of sensuality.

Histoires de Parfums is a pioneering force in the world of French niche perfumery, one of the earliest brands to champion this genre's rise. Their Eau de Parfum range is both refined and confident, marked by a rare originality that appeals to connoisseurs seeking complexity and elegance.

True to its theme, the brand’s fragrances come housed in charming, book-inspired packaging, adding a literary touch that enhances the sense of storytelling. The collection is home to some true cult classics, and at NOAH, you'll find revered scents like 1740, the definitive leather and patchouli fragrance, alongside Ambre 114, a sophisticated exploration of amber’s multifaceted character, with its herbal, creamy, and spiced nuances.
