Long walks along softly lit cobblestone streets, gazing out onto the Seine, holding hands across the table in cafes, a first kiss under the Eiffel Tower. I don't know if this actually "smells like Paris" - I don't think you want to smell like Paris, frankly, there's more stench than perfume to be smelled in the city proper!

But if we talk about the product, then here it is: on me, it's a peony fragrance, long-lasting, slightly oily; most likely it's just not suitable for winter, I'll wait for warmer weather and try again. Love in Paris is an emotional classical French scent, maybe not so original but feminine and "in love".

You know the cliche story - American exchange student comes to Paris, meets a chivalrous French boy in class. Velvety apricot and jasmine bring in a sweet feminine nuance into the floral heart of peony and rose. Mind you, if you're under 25 and have no experience with 90s white flower classics, you may not like it, but LiP is still quality scent that doesn't smell cheap.

I've never been much of a romantic, which makes me a bit self-conscious about writing such sentimental content, but there's no better way to subtly express your inner romantic than through a special fragrance :) If you pick this one up before it's discontinued, I hope you'll make great memories with it too. The durability is quite good - 6 hours, although the wearer may not feel it after an hour, although it generally exists. This was a clean, green lily-of-the-valley scent on me, acquiring shades of sweet fruity woodiness (I thought I got a bit of peach), as it dried and the greeness diminished. Nina Ricci is a French fashion house founded by Italian-born Maria "Nina" Ricci and her son Robert in 1932. Fruity sweetness is a lingua franca of commercial feminine perfumery, but here sweetness and fruit flavor are separate elements combined to mimic a more vernacular sweetness.Disclaimer: The Perfume Girl (TPG) is a perfume oriented site which publishes information on perfumes, fragrances, celebrity perfumes, and scented products.
