Histoires de Parfums 1740 Marquis de Sade

Highlights: A mysterious chypre composition blending liqueur-like leather notes with davana, patchouli, labdanum and dried fig. A timeless perfume!
Fragrance character: Dark and mysterious. Spicy – Woody – Masculine. 1740 marked the birth of a Parisian nobleman named Donatien Alphonse François de Sade, who would become known to posterity simply as the Marquis de Sade. For this man, who was imprisoned several times for his indecent conduct, lust and literature went hand in hand, as his many surviving works explicitly attest. The free-spirited writer would likely have appreciated the boldness of this spicy woodland fragrance, whose notes of bergamot and Davana Sensualis are further refined by leathery patchouli.
