Histoires de Parfums, an olfactory library, tells the stories of famous figures, raw materials, and legendary eras through fragrances. The fragrances carry on the French tradition and expertise of luxury, elegance, and creativity. Through this library, founder Gérald Ghislain aims to write stories through scents, just as they are written in books or operas... or in images. This poetic, romantic, and synesthetic approach complements the perfumes that have long embodied the classic tradition of French perfumery. 7753 follows this tradition by uniting three worlds in one: a painting, a fragrance, and an emotion far beyond what you might expect. 7753 represents the dimensions of the Mona Lisa painting, for this fragrance is neither the scent of a picture nor merely the scent of a woman from the past—rather, it is the scent of womanhood itself. It is the scent of an emotion, of that indecipherable gaze, her inexplicable beauty, her unbridled energy, and her allure. It is the scent of our own fascination. A hidden number for a hidden smile. The fragrance 7753 opens with an explosion of bright citrus notes of bergamot and mandarin, supported by the subtle spice of Ma Khaen berries and the magic of aquatic ivy. Restless, atmospheric like the celadon tones in Leonardo’s painting, it slowly draws us closer to Mona, to her skin and her touch. It has become a bouquet of white blossoms, the milk of a sensual fig dripping onto lush petals of heliotrope and tuberose. Lushness turns sunny with the arrival of an orange blossom note, before settling into a bed of smoky woods. Vetiver and patchouli paint a dark canvas beneath streaks of white sandalwood and a mystical mist of oakmoss. It is somber and sunny; it is sparkling and intense; it is green and it is dark. The unexpected scent and secret allure of the Mona Lisa.
