History’s Rebels, Distilled Into Scent.

About HISTOIRES DE PARFUM

Founded in the early 2000s by Gérald Ghislain—a polymath driven by boundless passion, HISTOIRES DE PARFUMS (HDP) has a singular vision: to craft fragrances as complex, rare, and romantic as his own vibrant soul. Each scent is a chapter in an olfactory library, where perfumes transform into books to be read on the skin—narrating the legends of iconic figures, myths, eras, poetry, and music through the language of scent.

Their Inspiration

Histoires de Parfums writes fragrances like literary novels—each bottle a chapter of human genius, blending history, art, and raw emotion. Founder Gérald Ghislain, a polymath with a poet’s soul, transforms legends of rebels, artists, and eras into liquid narratives.

"Perfumes as Stories"

Every bottle is a wearable tale, blending history, art, and emotion into a multi-sensory experience (e.g., "This is Not a Blue Bottle" evokes Magritte’s surrealism).

Polymath’s Passion

Ghislain’s encyclopedic creativity—spanning literature, music, and myth—fuels unconventional compositions (e.g., "1969" captures the decadence of Parisian rebellion).

Liquid Archives

A curated olfactory library of limited-edition scents, where ingredients act as words and accords as plot twists, inviting collectors to "read" fragrance like literature.
