Une Histoire de Femme Sensuelle
by Mauboussin
Une Histoire de Femme Sensuelle by Mauboussin unfolds as a sweet, creamy gourmand with a powdery, musky base that feels clean and comforting. The opening features a noticeable alcohol hit that quickly settles, giving way to a soft, milky praline note intertwined with white musk and a delicate rose. The fresia provides a subtle floral lift, while the sweetness is balanced by a gentle, nutty undertone that prevents it from becoming cloying. The overall impression is akin to powdery, lavender-scented body lotion or a warm, fresh-laundered linen scent. It wears like a soft cloud—delicate, ethereal, and comfortable. The scent lingers well beyond initial wear, with many noting it lasting throughout the day, and it performs reliably even after showering. It's a universally feminine, soft, and wearable fragrance, ideal for everyday use, work, or evening moments.
