Histoires de Parfums Irrévérent is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Luca Maffei. Irrévérent opens with Bergamot, Lavender, and Elemi, settles into a heart of Styrax, and dries down to a base of Amber, Sandalwood, and Patchouli. Histoires de Parfums's Irrévérent carries an Acquired verdict, an amber-led wear.

Irrévérent is a divisive, powerhouse amber. You'll either adore its rich, resinous depth with a lavender twist, or find it a cloying, suffocating beast. Definitely not a blind buy unless your nose is calibrated for niche audacity.

About

Opens with an unexpected, bright aromatic spark of lavender and bergamot, uplifted by the lemony, slightly balsamic elemi. This quickly deepens into a gooey, balmy heart of styrax, thick with resinous warmth. The base settles into a luxurious, slightly powdery accord of amber, creamy sandalwood, and earthy patchouli, creating a dark, brooding richness.
