In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Paris Izmir opens with a crisp flash of bergamot and freesia before revealing a dense heart of Turkish rose and smoky myrrh. Rich benzoin and earthy patchouli settle into the base, creating a cozy honeyed warmth. It suits cool October afternoons when you want a rich floral sweater scent.
