What does Carven C'est Paris ! (Eau de Toilette) smell like?

Lemon and rosemary give the opening a bright lift, while cypress adds a dry, resinous greenery. In the heart, Egyptian violet leaf absolute and French lavender lead, with hazelnut sweetening it slightly. The base settles on moss, Virginia cedar, cistus, patchouli and sandalwood, a woody, earthy foundation. Citrus and aquatic accords keep it fresh, with spicy and woody tones in the background.

Longevity and sillage both sit at a moderate level, though the small number of ratings makes these only a rough guide. Its fresh build suits everyday wear. Jaguar Classic Electric Sky and Azzaro Azzaro Sport have a close profile.
