Histoires de Parfums Moulin Rouge is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2010. Moulin Rouge opens with Cinnamon, Plum, and Tangerine, settles into a heart of Rose and Wormwood, and dries down to a base of Musk, Patchouli, and Iris. Histoires de Parfums's Moulin Rouge carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.

This is a polarising, unapologetically vintage number. If you love a rich, complex makeup bag scent with plenty of pluck, Moulin Rouge is your ticket to a boozy, powdery fantasy. If not, this theatrical diva might feel a bit much.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Other declarable allergens

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

It opens with a punchy, almost boozy plum and tangerine, quickly softened by a rich, waxy iris that conjures vintage lipstick. A spiced rose heart blooms, underpinned by earthy patchouli and a whisper of wormwood, adding a subtle bitterness. The dry down is a warm, musky blend, retaining that iconic powdery, cosmetic quality throughout.
