7753 Unexpected Mona
by Histoires de Parfums
7753 Unexpected Mona from Histoires de Parfums is a green floral woody fragrance that unfolds with a crisp, dewy opening layered with galbanum, ivy, and pepper. The heart reveals a radiant, softly powdery tuberose accord blended with heliotrope, pear, and cassis, creating a delicate yet vibrant floral center. The fragrance evolves through a smooth transition into a drydown defined by vetiver, patchouli, sandalwood, and oakmoss—providing a depth that is both earthy and subtly tranquil, without overwhelming sweetness. The scent carries a clean, slightly soapy freshness reminiscent of a well-pressed linen shirt or a summer glade after rain, with a certain elegance and restraint, making it suitable for daytime wear in spring to autumn. It maintains a confident, unisex presence with moderate sillage and moderate longevity.
