I was doing some research on the internet when I came across a site on which you choose your favorite fragrance and the site recomends three others based on your favorite fragrance. So, I could not resist typing in (yes, you guessed it) Mitsouko. It came up with Rochas Femme and Histoire d'Amour. Now I know I can't deal with one of the notes in Rochas Femme but, I have no experience with Histoire d'Amour. Please put on your analytical hat and bestow any information you might have regarding this fragrance. I await your replies.

Well, not much to say about this, it's floral, it's fruity, it even has some "beach" feeling, but the game is too short and boring...how can they just think that someone would pay that price for...

That bright summery top note combines a restrained lemon, a full-on neroli and a rosemary note, that in the drydown turns greener. This transforms into a mint aroma with a hint of eucalyptus, and...

Long time ago when I was doing them teasers, I had one about it. #73, if you use Advanced Search option.
Kumquat is selling hers -- what? two years now? -- on the Sale and Swap Forum. Cheap, too!
This same source where you saw the other two fragrances, actually gives three. Go back and check the third one -- it is well worth hunting down, too!
While sniffing XerJoff line a few weeks ago, I mentioned this Aubusson as a better fragrance with the same feel as compared to Shingl.

I was smitten with Histoire d'Amour when I first discovered it about seven years ago, but haven't worn in much in the past couple of years. Its not fruity like Mitsouko, but is a lovely, well balanced Chypre IMO. It has some notes that are somewhat uncommon in Chypres: Osmanthus, Narcissus; but also has galbanum giving it a nice greeness. Its a steal at the price you can get it for now - get some!
