7753 Unexpected Mona

I have this perfume in 15 ml size. It lasts about 9 hours and with a medium intensity. The presentation of the box and the bottle follows what the line is, which look like books and you can collect them. The output of this perfume is of green and fresh aromas, when the citrus dries we start to note the spices, the green notes also decrease in intensity over time and the floral notes make an appearance. It is composed of floral notes with personality, that heliotrope and tuberose make a tremendously interesting set. A green, floral, woody perfume ... but with a lot of personality thanks to the many different shades that make it up. It is also a perfume of evolution, it has many changes of aromas as time goes by. Unisex? Completely, it is a type of scents that has all aspects, a delicious floral set that women will like very much. Herbal notes are more for personal taste, both male and female, and a spicy and sandalwood load that although delicate can be of good taste for men. So this perfume is completely unisex and will depend on personal taste. This perfume is not to buy or give away blindly unless you know the aromas that compose it well, what I see as most decisive when deciding on it, is the green and floral part. Green aromas are not liked by everyone and although they dissipate over time it is important to take them into account. And the important floral part is in the tuberose and the heliotrope, for me they are beautiful flowers but with an important personality and qualities, I know perfectly that not everyone likes them, so you should only take into account if you like them or not. time to buy this perfume.

Notes on the bottle itself differ from the ones on fragrantica: Top: Bergamote, Lierre, Ma Khaen baies Heart: Tubereuse, Figue de Baarbarie, Heliotrope Base: Vetiver, Santal, Mousse de Chene Summer test. Enchanting fairy green freshy that is divine for a humid hot summer. I was prepared to put put some work into understanding 7753 as I have to with all the green scents, but that was not nesessary, it was love at first wearing. The ivy greenness is tender and aromatic, slightly aquatic sandalwood adds some wetness to it and gives off a cucumber fresh vibe. I have nothing in my collection to compare to this directly, but some referencies are possible. Compared to 7753 Amouage Bracken is an angry wild beast, Herba fresca by Guerlain is a bouquet of dried herbs slapped across the face. Ivyme from Hermetica would probably be the closest description, minus the aquatic sandalwood. Love the minimalistic practical bottle with the name and the notes on the side, like a book on a shelf.

Honestly I'm impressed by HdP's creations: everything I try I love. I really want to collect all the perfumes. 7753 is so gorgeous. it's so refreshingly green and to me it also has dark purple enigma. This perfume lingers on me bring cozy and at the same time polished feeling. It's voluptuous and seductive yet sharp and elegant. I think wearing 7753 brings sophisticated feeling, like wearing elegant fancy suit. I can wear it all day long for any occasion. I'm deeply in love. definitely this is unisex which makes it even more magical, I would love it to sniff it from my man. 7753 brings you to the gardens after the rain, you can breath this humid grass with flowers all together, you want to tuck your coat a little. Just magical. I got 15ml but I know I'll get a full bottle upon finishing it (universe, please!). Borscht rating for people: 8.3 out of 10 Borscht rating for herself: 11 out of 10

Bought this about 3+ years ago from the main Histoires de Parfums boutique near Le Marais in Paris and my initial impression upon 3 sprays to each forearm wasn't terribly optimistic but a couple hours in, I realized that I actually quite liked it. In fact after several full proper wears, I liked it very much. I think that might be because it doesn't really remind me of any other fragrance. Although there are several very subtle similarities to others at times throughout it's development it still manages to maintain a very unique overall fragrance experience. A little bit grassy-green at times which I quite enjoy and the florals come and go before settling in for there full dry-down and I really enjoy those also. This fragrance has really grown on me to become a spring/summer/autumn fave. Despite being a bit of an impulse purchase it has turned out "Unexpectedly" wonderful.

My husband blind bought this for me .This is my first from Histoires de Parfum. Unexpected Mona is fresh,woody,and the flower is hidden between them. It's mysterious and alluring, draws you to turn head and get near.the Tuberose, White flowers and Heliotrope are not overpowering, and in the dry down the fresh notes is still there, it's not citrusy fresh,it's a soapy green fresh.it leans feminine but men still can pull this off.if you like fresh flowery woody type of scent this one might be for you. Unexpected Mona is definitely beautiful and unique for me.Love it

This is really wonderful and complex! Off the bat and without looking at the notes I get woody, spicy, soft florarls and as soon as it settles on the skin a very delicate powdery veil. Very classy! Looking at he pyramid now: it's really hard for me to discern the citruces on here, so well blended, just enough to give it a "lift" of freshness. Edit' I ended up getting a full 60ml bottle after an extensive test. Very unusual but in a most wearable kind of way, evrn everyday wear I'd say.

This one is very elusive, just like the bespoke Mona Lisa. Some days it just doesn't work with my chemistry and other days it's simply divine. So unusual yet approachable and pleasant. It does have fougere tendencies but sometimes it's more fruity and "yellow"/sunny than green. It's fresh but also slightly sweet, soft and powdery. Beautiful and unique

A beautiful and abstract perfume that has an enormous calming quality on me. I like to wear this when I feel overwhelmed or exhausted, because somehow it grounds and comforts immensely. If I had to make a connection to the Mona Lisa I'd say it's a tribute to the cool shade of the green mountains behind her rather than to La Giaconda herself.

Wow!!!! This is [email protected] !! You need to love tuberose and vetiver to really appreciate this one. I find that Histoires de Parfums offers are usually dated, but not this one. Light tuberose, creamy cocooing vetiver. Some green notes... I need a bottle!!

This is indeed unexpected. So fresh but with good longevity! It reminded me of “you or someone like you” with its freshness, but this one is much better. Smells like menthol with peonies to me, really beautiful. Perfect for day time wear in spring or summer.

Tuberose and green yellow notes. Very solar, very creamy, milky even, although vegetal. It reminds me of Amarige in the drydown. Leans more feminine. Very beautiful, very inspiring and quite sensual.

Oh, I love this. It reminds me of a foggy, drizzly, cold morning in the PNW where everything around you is fresh and green. I cannot stop sniffing my wrists when I have this on.

Tuberose, orange blossom and green notes..ever so slightly sweet, moderately lasting..I have a huge 4 oz bottle. I like this, but it's not my favorite from this perfume house. It lasts much longer on clothes than skin. My initial impression was much more favorable than my recent revisit. It smells like so many orange blossom scents..on me. Even on my clothes, orange blossom and green notes ..very nice, but not for the money. Some claim they smell Oud in it...I can promise you there isn't any. This does lean feminine.. EDIT- SO over year later, 2025, and ...where did the orange blossom go?? It's had time to macerate and NOW it's a dry tuberose with tons of greens .herbal, mossy and fresh, with a clean woodiness in the drydown. The bergamot also shines. What a difference! So much nicer than it used to be. Can't stop smelling my wrist..

Very clean, deep, yet complex fresh and woody opening and thought for sure this had a touch of oud in it. You get the sense of green and brighter notes floating on top of a oudy or vetiver base throughout the day while elements of dark spice like pepper perk up once in a while. Looking at the notes now I'm surprised there's no touch of oud, and while almost every note to me is recognizable (some taking a bit more concentration to pull out) I'm a bit lost on the pear, even when comparing it to a few other pear forward fragrances I have at hand. It's far more woody, green, deep, but with a spicy clean top that keeps it intriguing. Very nice. Great longevity. Initial strong projection, calming to moderate for most of the day. I see this a unisex given it's woody and spicy elements.

Wow! A gorgeous, green, lightly spicy, fresh and non-sweet tuberose, perfect for summer days. Tuberose I love, but is often done in a very heavy, bombastic way that makes it difficult to wear on hot summer days or in more formal, office-type occasions. This one on paper and on skin is very classy, restrained, enigmatic. Reminds me of the style of tuberose in Twilly d'Hermes. Lovely - very clean and chic. Polarity - Slightly more feminine IMO Projection - Soft to moderate Longevity - Average

Decided to test this out mostly bc the concept of the fragrance appealed to me, completely prepared to be disappointed by the actual smell of it, but I really enjoy it. Green, soapy, floral and woody - the tuberose especially present to my nose alongside the note of ivy. I get that they're playing with contrasts as inspiration from the Mona Lisa, but a green fragrance still feels like an odd choice. I do really like it though, so no complaints here.

Greenness and citrus bitters. I have another perfume with the ivy in it, and I think I recognise that scent as being predominant in this. Pepper, galbanum and vetiver all make sense. I don’t smell any floralcy in this. The Oriental Floral classification does not fit: it’s not warm or sensual at all. Lasts well both on skin and clothes. Truly unisex.

For green floral fragrance, perfect for spring. 100% unisex, the sillage and longevity are excellent. I can smell Ivy, vetiver, oak-moss and a touch of tuberose. It is a fresh perfume. I do not understand the "Mona Lisa" picture with this scent, it is not vintage and not so feminine... Maybe because this scent is timeless? Yes, probably. 8/10

As a Mona myself, I wanted to be able to love it, but the huge amount of ivy killed it. It is only a "like". Yet to find the perfect weather for it, because it seems to be too much for any season. Ivy is the creepiest green, suffocating Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing Memory and desire, stirring Dull roots with spring rain.

This is different. Nice different. I get green and earth notes, maybe a little bitter citrus. Almost fougere like but not really. No real floral notes to speak of but they may come out later. I would consider this unisex leaning masculine. I could wear this for sure.
