Make Perfume Not War

Simple, citrusy-musky clean perfume. I find it modern, little soapy and very suitable for day time and office use. I cannot say I love it, but it would be pleasure to smell it on colleagues. Really peaceful scent!

Histoires de Parfums is a house I do indeed enjoy, each and every of their offerings have been high quality, unique stuff, but then they send me the sample of "Make Perfume not war" with my bottle purchase. I almost cried out when I tried this, it's a complete nonsense, I get it - they had to make a crowd pleaser, but this is so low, generous and utterly boring, that I have no words, hell, you can find celebrity floral fruities with more depth and uniqueness than this. A disappointing fruity musk, I would forget about it instantly after applying, but I kept sniffing as I hoped - come on, this is HdP, maybe there is some trick and it will start blooming in it's unique fruity bouquet. It didn't. Do not waste your time trying to seek out a sample or bottle.

Ordered two sample sets from Histoires de Parfums and received this freebie. I enjoy several of the other HdP scents, but this one has too much citrus and is too in your face. You can tell it is high quality, however, as there is very little chemical nature in the complexity. The citrus is powerful, almost overwhelming at the top and stays all the way through the dry down, where it settles in more nicely. Still, not for me.

Fragrance Review For Make Perfume Not War By Histoires De Parfums Top Notes Orange Lemon Grapefruit Mandarin Bergamot Middle Notes Mango Pineapple Peach Freesia Lilac Cyclamen Base Notes Musk Vanilla Tonka Woods This is what we ought be doing: perfume (and love not war). It's a beautiful positive message of peace and this fragrance celebrates the sweetness and pleasure of perfume. What does this smell like? I'll keep it simple. This is a fruit flavored fragrance. Lots of citrus at the top: orange, grapefruit are very prominent. Delicious fresh citrus. This much orange makes me feel like it's a scent wholly appropriate for the day time any place any season, but especially sweet in the summer time. There's additional fruit notes of mango pineapple and peach. This fruit juice is so good. A note of lilac is also detectable among the fruits but the peach and pineapple/mango scent stand out. The fragrance dries down to woods and vanilla powder. Awesome.

Love the name of this fragrance, the juice itself - not so much. Some sort of super musky-musty, sweet, citrus blend, with citrus hard to detect. I love citrus fragrances for their zesty, juicy, aromatic, sour notes, but there is no such thing here. Smells like soap, not good.

What a sweet message it's giving. Middle east is burning , children, mothers, people dying still everyday. I wish i could throw tons of these bottles from the plain to all people fighting in middle east. Thank you HDP for this simple but wonderful bottle.

اسم العطر منطلق من فكرة ان يحدد مبلغ 50 دولار من قيمة العطر للتبرع بها في اعمال خيرية :) ويبدوا ان العطر منعش ويحتوي على محل فواكة :)

Can't wait to try this (neither lilac nor peach won't spoil my high expectations)! Peace & perfumes ppl :)
