Histoires de Parfums – one of my favorite bands! Me I like all the perfumes, because they tell very different stories about love hate passion! “Vici” is perfect for my man, who has a very picky nose. He loved Vici from the very first touch of his skin. On his skin “Vici” opens in a very masculine but tender way.

Violet soap and pencil shavings….
If I focus intently, I can pick out a delicate tang of raspberry and an indistinguishable green, herbal freshness, but overall it’s that accord of dry, woody pencil shavings tinged with lead, dusted over a block of clean, violet soap.
It’s a cold, crisp, earthy, fresh smell which I often find hits me when I first open the door to go outside during the winter months. I have no idea why I smell violets, there aren’t any growing in our garden -certainly not at this time of year- but anyway, “Vici” evokes that smell perfectly.
It’s very balanced – the dry, woody notes on one side, the soap and fruit on the other- so definitely unisex, pleasant and easy to wear.

The aldehydic notes in Vici are a little too much (for my nose, anyway) upon initial application. Thankfully this does not last too long. The dry down reminds me a lot of Parma Violet sweets I used to get as a child. There is definitely some fruity nuances in there – a blackcurrant-y note also mentioned by previous reviewers. I wasn’t particularly interested in this fragrance upon first sampling, but, once Vici settles down on my skin and the aldehydes begin to dissipate, I can’t stop smelling it.
However, Vici leans a bit too much on the feminine side for me to consider purchasing a FB. Performance is average-to-good. HdP have done a good job here, nothing groundbreaking but a solid fragrance.

I agree with @Colin Maillard. When I apply Vici on my skin, it reminded me Daim Blond by Serge Lutens but Vici more vegetable than Daim Blond. I love this house, expecially Olymipa Mucis Hall, Noir Patchouli and 1969 but this Rare collection dosn’t work with my skin chemistry. I think that only Vici better than others…

The opening of Histoires de Parfums Vici was promising, with a noble swirl of incense in the air. Alas, the monarch’s triumph proved to be a pyrrhic victory.
A harshness swiftly arrived on the scene, with bitter lavender, celery, pink pepper, and aldehydes all treacherously conspiring in the downfall of the king.
The culprits called it a “natural” death. Clearly there was foul play.

When you think of the name of this house and how much it has more than beautiful and unique fragrance, I was expecting he will attract me to this fragrance beautiful magician tasty, very sugary smell with a bit of fruit and cardamom which added another flavor to this fragrance and make it voluptuous.
I advise you to try this fragrance, which looked great craftsman its unique composition.
projection beautiful and very strong stability.
10/10

If heavy doses of ambroxan and Iso-E-Super don’t bother you, you might get some pleasure out of this. They bother me, and it seemed like 80% of the fragrance consists of those two notes. I had the same problem with Vidi, another perfume in this series of three.
The overall effect is a powdery, woody amber. I smell the violet leaves and the pungent angelica, which create a soft green effect. I do detect a touch of raspberry in the base, but its extremely subtle, so I don’t think of this as a berry perfume. I find this to be a bit whimsical, reminding me of sparkly purple and blue fairies flittering about a green, enchanted forest.
I love the notes, but oh how I wish ambroxan and Iso-E-Super didn’t turn me off so much because I will not be able to ignore them.
