Y-30 | Inspired by Mon Paris

Strawberry, raspberry and patchouli. Inspired by Mon Paris.

A juicy red-fruit opening with strawberry and raspberry, a floral heart and an earthy, warm tail of patchouli, white musk and vanilla. Sweet and fruity, but with a grown-up floor.

How it develops

The opening is red and juicy: strawberry and raspberry up front, with pear, orange, Calabrian bergamot and mandarin for the juice and a watery calone touch keeping it light. The heart is floral and a little heady — peony, Arabian and Chinese jasmine, orange blossom and datura, a green, hypnotic flower. The base is where it gains its character: Indonesian patchouli leaf and patchouli, earthy and dark, with white musk, vanilla and ambroxan for the warmth and moss and cedar for a dry finish. Fruit slowly turning into earth.

Who it's for, and when

Four seasons, day and evening. Looking for red fruit but lighter and closer to the skin, see B-70. Want the fresh, lavender-like counterpart from the same house, Y-20 is the step.

How to wear it

Two sprays on the neck and one on a wrist, on moisturised skin. Don't rub. It carries far — for the office one spray is enough.
