Perfume information

Description of the composition

The composition of Petroleum evolves as a cohesive olfactory arc, where notes flow smoothly and sequentially. The style of Histoires de Parfums is evident in the pacing of the notes and the overall aesthetic. Every decision feels deliberate, and the composition keeps a clear direction. Eau de parfum sets the depth and body this composition needs.

At the note-group layer the composition is built around Citrus, Fairy, Leather and Wood. The palette also extends to Ambery, Floral, Animals and Musk. At family level the composition sits in East.

In the top tier you catch glowing neon opening notes: Aldehydes, Bergamot and Oud.

In the middle phase you notice Ambergris, Oud and Rose holding a softly spicy direction.

The olfactory framework is built around these accords: Animalistic, Citrus, Floral and Musc forming a compact and readable structure. Secondary accord layers such as Wood, Amber, Leather and Cosmetic add depth to the backdrop. The profile is unisex, which makes the scent profile easier to read.

Overall Petroleum sounds complete from start to finish — the start forms character, the heart develops the core line, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. These are the scent structures best judged on skin.

Persistence
The persistence of a fragrance is determined by how long it can be felt. It is a characteristic associated with ingredients that evaporate slowly. Persistence depends on the physical properties of the perfume ingredients—mainly their volatility and environmental factors such as temperature and humidity.
Persistence
Very high (more than 12 hours)
5
Sillage
Imagine a light cloud of fragrance that, like an aeroplane trail, remains in the air after your appearance. This is the sillage - a subtle or vivid imprint left by the most diffuse element of a perfume composition. The sillage can be almost invisible when it is felt only by you and those around you. Or it can be so expressive that its presence is noticed even long after you have left.
Sillage
Very conspicuous
5
Complexity and depth
The complexity of a fragrance is the number and variety of notes that create a unique composition. A complex fragrance contains many different notes that reveal themselves on the skin. The depth of a fragrance is the richness and intensity of the fragrance. Fragrances with a deep composition include heavy and powerful notes that stay on the skin longer and affect others over long distances.

The name perfectly matches its content - it's more like some factory than perfumery. Everything sparkles as if it's just been washed. The aldehydes here are too sharp, even aggressive. Roses aren't felt at all. Industrial notes of leather and patchouli create a strange impression
