Mauboussin Une Histoire d'Homme Irrésistible is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Karine Dubreuil-Sereni. Une Histoire d'Homme Irrésistible opens with Bergamot and Fig Leaf, settles into a heart of Sandalwood, and dries down to a base of Cedar. Mauboussin's Une Histoire d'Homme Irrésistible carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

This is a seriously impressive budget fig frag. Don't expect huge projection or longevity, but the initial burst of green fig and woody depth is luxurious and refined, smelling ridiculously expensive for the price. A true hidden gem that punches well above its weight.

Its clean, fresh, and subtle character makes it highly suitable for office wear, as it won't offend. The moderate sillage and poor longevity noted by many reviewers mean it's best for casual, close-quarters wear rather than occasions demanding strong projection.

About

Opens with a lively, verdant burst of fig leaf and zesty bergamot, leaning into a fresh, slightly bitter greenness. This quickly settles into a creamy, grounding sandalwood heart, perfectly balanced by a robust cedar base. The overall impression is a smooth, sophisticated woody scent with a subtle powdery inflection and an airy quality that prevents it from being too heavy.
