Paris Amour
by Bath & Body Works
Paris Amour is a sweet, youthful floral-fruity fragrance designed for daytime wear, with strong associations to spring and early summer. It opens with juicy, sparkling notes of apple blossom, strawberry, cassis, and champagne, giving it a fresh, effervescent character. The floral accord, featuring freesia, jasmine, frangipani, and tulip, blends seamlessly with the fruity elements, creating a soft, romantic, and floral-sweet bouquet. As it develops, it reveals a creamy, milky vanilla base with subtle coconut and sandalwood, leading to a warm, powdery, and slightly gourmand dry-down that feels comforting and flirtatious. The scent is universally perceived as feminine, innocent, and gentle—ideal for young women or those seeking a playful, uplifting fragrance. It is not particularly complex, more linear than evolving, and has moderate sillage with a light, airy projection that is noticeable but not overpowering.
