Floral · Fruity · Sweet
Fleur de Paris 18. Arrondissement is a sweet, floral perfume for women that leans towards spring through autumn and easygoing, everyday wear.
It opens with bergamot, mandarin orange and saffron, then moves into a heart of rose, jasmine and American plum that reads floral and fruity. The base of caramel and Bourbon vanilla turns creamy and sweet, while patchouli and frankincense add a woody, slightly smoky depth. The overall feel is powdery and warm.
Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, so it stays close rather than filling a room. Most voters pick spring, fall or summer, and the occasions range from leisure and daily wear to the office and evening. Half of voters call its character feminine. Dior Midnight Poison and Chanel Allure Sensuelle have a close profile.
