Petroleum by Histoires de Parfums is a Aromatic fragrance for women and men. Petroleum was launched in 2011. Petroleum was created by Gerald Ghislain and Sylvie Jourdet. Top notes are Agarwood (Oud), Aldehydes and Bergamot; middle notes are Amber and Rose; base notes are Civetta, Leather, Musk and Patchouli. Perfumer Gerald Ghislain transforms and redefines with his creative brilliance. Dominated by the rare and precious Oudh, this exclusive collection is deliberately embellished with a palette of Petrol, Rose and Oriental, materials long used in traditional perfumery. He has revealed their fierce strength, veracity and raw beauty making each an emblem of our natural Earth, undisturbed by human interference... Plants, Minerals and Animals A symbol of wealth and prosperity, Petroleum is an unexpected essence, once referred to as ‘Black Gold’, it is rich, dark and mysterious…a miraculous gift from the depths of our Earth. In all of its precious form Oudh is effortlessly felt throughout the fragrance. Woven with Bergamot and Orange its fresh top notes unfold, assertively layered with woody and resinous power. Ozonic floralcy lives at the heart as a mystical rose unveils warmed ambered stones. An eccentric chypre character exhales narcotic fumes with an intense signature of leather wrapped in lucid white musk… It is a potion, a rare elixir that will lead to exalted ecstasy and pure euphoria.
