About Histoires de Parfums Petroleum unisex EDP
Petroleum unisex EDP comes from Histoires de Parfums. This one is the Eau de Parfum.
Day or night?

Other Histoires de Parfums perfumes
This house has 37 perfumes on iPerfume. The most popular ones are 1740, 1889 Moulin Rouge and 1969.
Is Petroleum unisex long lasting?
This is a long lasting scent: expect about 6 to 9 hours on skin. As an Eau de Parfum, it has more perfume oil than an Eau de Toilette, which helps it last. Yves Saint Laurent Kouros lasts longer, if that matters to you. Base notes like civetta and leather are the part that stays longest on the skin.

It is at its best in fall. It is less suited to summer. From best to least suited, the seasons are fall, winter, spring and summer. Its warm smell feels best when the weather is cold.
