In a woman, the creator of the perfume, Christine Nagel.
It was a purchase without testing beforehand, and it was... not much to think about, because the composition and the bottle, which is a real sphere floating in a glass (plexiglass) case, conquered my trust.
It smells quite complex.
At first, almost everyone would say it is cinnamon, there are fine spices, between aromatic and sweet. In the second phase, it shows a masculine characteristic; expressive, leathery, woody, spicy... and that can break many a woman's heart and love can be lost... but patience is required... it becomes balsamic and powdery at the same time, only now in the fading it smells more floral and feminine. It leaves a smaller aura, but it is enough for such a demanding scent. It lasts intensely for about 3 hours, then another 2 in its last and most beautiful phase.
It unites many characteristics. Spices, Yin and Yang, leather, oriental jasmine. This is how I subjectively experienced Mauboussin Historie d'Eau.
Yes, Eau... quite a beautiful allegory... everything, just not a little water.
