Irreverent
Irreverent by Histoires de Parfums is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with bergamot, elemi and lavender, moves into coffee, oud and styrax and dries down to patchouli, sandalwood and amber. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Bergamot Sharp citrus with a faint bitter edge. The opening of about half of all men's fragrances.
- Elemi Peppery resin with a lemon-pine lift. Bright and dry.
- Lavender Herbal, clean, slightly medicinal. Barbershop in one note.
Heart
- Coffee Roasted, bitter and dark. Adds edge to sweet fragrances.
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
- Styrax Smoky, leathery balsam. Slightly rubbery and dark.
Dry-down
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Amber Warm, golden and resinous. Not a real material — a blend that glows.
