Posted by Robin on 6 January 2010 30 Comments

Histoires de Parfums 1889 Moulin Rouge

Histoires de Parfums has launched 1889 Moulin Rouge, a new perfume named for the opening year of the Moulin Rouge in Paris, and one of a number of items introduced in France last year to celebrate the cabaret's 120th anniversary.

1889 Moulin Rouge celebrates a passionate, free woman, and features notes of mandarin, plum, cinnamon, absinthe, rose, iris, patchouli, musk, vanilla and leather.

    Oh no! I have to try this! Love all things Paris, all things Toulouse-Lautrec, all things Art Nouveau, and Moulin Rouge was one of my favorite movies (I know, I know, most people hate it). Plus HdP scents are awesome…

      Karin – I’m another fan of Moulin Rouge! I thought it was visually stunning and loved the music. I like Baz’s movies in general.

    Fortunately this one is not reeling me in – I have a problematic relationship with plum, especially in combination with spice, and absinthe is not a note I like at all. Phew! That’s one lemming less to worry about this year…

      It really sounds like an unusual combination of notes…can’t really “picture” it.

    I think I’d have to go to the Moulin Rouge to make sure, you know, the scent really worked 😉

      the trip would be for purely scientific purposes, clearly!

    Just pinged Lisa over at Beauty Cafe, and she says they’re expecting delivery of it in February. 🙂

      I can’t decide if that sounds wonderful or horrid…I want to try it too though!

    Definitely something I need to try. I already love Mata Hari.

    Was very excited at first….then I caught that plum mention…hmmm…but still it’s so hard to tell from a list of notes, maybe I won’t get plum at all. I will definitely be looking for a sample of this.

    They’ve got me again! I have to try this both for the fragrance and the theme. I have a feeling HdP’s going to take a bite out of my fragrance budget this year, and likely more than once. Plum, absinthe, cinnamon and leather? Rawr! 🙂

      I’m very hopeful about the tuberoses, and hope this one will be a winner too.

    Histoires de Parfums has been totally off my radar. Not that I need anything to new to buy, but are they worth checking out?

      I do think they’re worth trying, and they sell a sample set which isn’t too expensive. The only one I love is the Colette, but also think the Noir Patchouli is really nice.

        I did look at the sample set, and the Colette was the only one that looked exciting. Well, maybe if I have some time where there’s nothing else I want to try…

        I love Collette also! I’ve tried a few Histoires de Parfums and Collette doesn’t get as much attention on the boards but it’s my favorite. I also like 1740 Marquis de Sade.

    I’ll definitely try this…could be strange and wonderful with all those strong notes…or a hot mess. I also want to try the three HdP tuberoses…

    HdP sampling really hasn’t grabbed me, though I’m definitely getting a bit of that Tuberose L’Animal to try. This one definitely sounds odd enough to pique curiosity — due to the notes, not the MR concept. Quite a hodgepodge of notes… many of which I like, but not sure how they’ll combine.

      If you beat me to the Tuberose (and you probably will) do report back!

        Commenter Melissa is hosting a split and I have some of the Tuberose L’Animale on the way. I’ll let you know!

    The loveliest and most inspired bottles and packaging of all the niche houses! I tried 1828 Jules Verne, and it evokes exactly the adventure spirit of a scentific man – sexy by its generous spirit and genius. It is the most masculine fragrance I tried until now.
