In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Bleu by Paul & Joe opens with a dry kick of coriander and caraway before settling into a warm, powdery floral heart of heliotrope and rose. Created by Pierre Bourdon in 2003, it rests on a dense base of myrrh, sandalwood, and patchouli. It fits crisp autumn evenings when you want a grounded, cozy amber wrap.

Reviews →

Joop! Rococo starts with a sharp blast of pineapple and lemon, quickly settling into a warmer, spiced ginger heart. Sandalwood and vanilla anchor the base, giving it a creamy texture on the skin. It works best as an easygoing floral option for cool autumn afternoons or casual evening outings.
