A Parisian Affair

5.4

La Fleur by Livvy · 2013

Floral · Sweet · Spicy

La Fleur by Livvy A Parisian Affair, a women's fragrance, sets cognac, pine and lilac inside a sweet, vanilla-tinted floral.

Floral and sweet accords lead, with spicy, animal and leathery tones sitting behind them and giving the scent a warm, somewhat dark edge. The resinous and creamy side keeps the flowers from feeling light or airy, pulling them towards something fuller and spiced. Zoologist Bee and Francesca Bianchi Cuir Soyeux have a close note and accord profile.
