1969 from Histoires de Parfums is a very sexy Oriental gourmand. A fruity chocolate fragrance, but not as sweet as you might expect. The peach in the top note is very nice and has excellent longevity. The white flowers gives a nice floral character to the fragrance while the spices (cardamon and clove) as well as the patchouli adds warmth to the scent. It reminds me of a nice cup of hot chocolate on a cold winter day. It’s quite delicious!
