Regarding the name - "Histoire" translates as "story". Also, I believe it is an allusion to a well-known movie "Histoire d'O" which is about bondage. So the name is about the leather/bondage connection.

Just got this one in a swap. At first spray I thought it was too harsh, too bitter. But after wearing it awhile...the drydown is lovely. A bit unique. Not crazy about the bottle, though. Thought it was kind of cheap:(

I am undecided about this fragrance. I did not get any of the sweet or leathery notes I had hoped for. On my skin, it turned to smokey amber and dried leaves. It very much reminded me of Autumn. I think I will have to try it again when the warmer weather arrives.

I thought the bottle was very unique. I love the "suspended sphere" of liquid. I also love that the design of the bottle prevents it from tipping over.

I never saw a perfume yet that has such a dissonance between a name and the scent.
There is nothing watery in here.History of water? maybe of gold, yes...the scent is luminous, thick and sweet, I feel a whole bunch of resins and the bee-glue (I feel the same note as in DK Black Cashmere) - opulent, ambery, musky, spicy, bittersweet!
I really love the opening and the base, but the heart is a little bit girly and ultrasweet - like dripping wild spiced honey...

Warm and luminous like an autumnal sunset. Spicy, rich, with salty and animal/ambery notes in the heart.
May tire, if used excessively, but in small amounts it never gets bored. One of the most unique blends.

I think PepeSilvia might've been confused with associating this scent with Chanel Egoiste Cologne Concentree because Egoiste is all about rose, spices, sandalwood and tonka. Perhaps it's the Topaze version?

As for this original version, one person on another website associated it with Serge Lutens Daim Blond--this description I can relate to...to a certain extent.

Histoire d'Eau is much like a suede (daim) perfume, but the way this scent executes is awfully harsh with this underlying bitter medicinal undertone.

Histoire's lofty notes are very much like Daim Blond, probably because it does smell like the apricot pits of Daim Blond, but pondering on this further, I think an aldehyde note is used rather than a true leather note that's putting this scent into wack and preventing it from giving forth clarity.

Very warm scent, closest related scent I can think of would be Chanel Egoiste Concentree.
