Prolixe
Prolixe by Histoires de Parfums is an unisex eau de parfum in the niche price tier. It opens with ginger and cardamom, moves into frankincense and rose and dries down to patchouli, tobacco and oud. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Ginger Warm, zesty and slightly soapy. Bridges citrus and spice.
- Cardamom Cool, aromatic spice with a eucalyptus lift. Smells expensive.
Heart
- Frankincense Bright, peppery, church-like resin. Lifts and cools a fragrance.
- Rose Can be jammy, green, peppery or soapy depending on the type. Not one smell.
Dry-down
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
- Tobacco Sweet, dried and honeyed. Nothing like a cigarette.
- Oud Resinous, medicinal, barnyard-adjacent wood. The most expensive note in perfumery.
