Review: “1889 Moulin Rouge” by Histoires de Parfums

INFO

1889 Moulin Rouge by Histoires de Parfums 50ml EDP

HOW DID WE GET HERE?

I went to see the Moulin Rouge show in Paris and spotted this fragrance at the gift shop. There was only one left in stock so it felt like destiny for me to purchase it.

HOW DOES THIS FRAGRANCE MAKE ME FEEL?

This fragrance is the height of ostentation. The bottle looks perfectly sliced in half because the type of woman who owns this fragrance probably acquired this scent as part of her last divorce settlement. She didn’t get mad, she got alimony! The notes of iris, violet, musk and patchouli are excessive but opulent. This scent is for the woman who has always been told that she is “too much”: Too much make up, too overdressed, too busy living her life to care about the opinions of others. You say that she’s doing too much? She says that you’re not doing enough!

RATING

4 – Don’t MIST Out: This fragrance is another exercise in personal tastes. You either like heavy “lipstick” scents or you don’t. This is a scent I enjoy smelling straight from the bottle without even needing to spray it. As soon as my nose inhales the notes I remember my wonderful night in Paris at the Moulin Rouge.
