One of the good ones

I find this one of the good Nina Ricci scents. It has a beautiful floral expression that stays for quite a while and never disappears totally, joining the base instead of letting it take over. When the day is done I still smell especially peony. Just lovely!
The bottle is also worth mentioning. It is not necessarily a masterpiece and as renowned as the NR’s L’Air du Temps falcon with the two doves - but it has its own minimalistic style and design that is quite pretty.

new sweetness

Love in Paris is a tidy, smart floral, accessible yet creatively distinctive. The flower note is broad, a sort of idealized rich, dry white/pink flower. But if the flower is the noun, fruit and herb are the adjectives. The fruit Love gives you is more the flavorful scratchiness of fruit skin—peach? plum?---than the meat of the fruit. It keeps Love from veering anywhere near syrup. The sweetness comes from the anise, not the fruit. 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. Clever, actually. It’s a sly sweetness that would appeal to many noses.

In most designer releases, sweetness is two-dimensional. More volume-up, volume-down than nuance. Do you prefer 8 lumps or 12? Love gives us a compact but more three-dimensional sweetness that is a perfect backdrop for the florals. Anise also lends that chilly feel that makes the flowers feel just pulled from the florist’s fridge.

I’m a fan of this perfumer, Aurélien Guichard. Love proves that he is able to work in designer, niche and traditional house (ie. Guerlain) with equal fluency. Love, Bond’s Chinatown, Guerlain’s Anisia Bella show some riffs on similar compositional themes without repetition or monotony. No mean trick in contemporary perfumery.

the european touch

I just tested DKNY with love from NY - so Love in Paris - Nina fits the theme perfectly.
The fragrances are really very different.
Did my American friend mean that when she spoke of the european touch?
Love in Paris is a mature yet gentle scent.
Bergamot and star anise subtly caress the nose, and peony and rose take their time to bloom.
This fragrance takes its time overall.
The woody notes and vanilla round it off leisurely, and musk is the icing on the cake.
A scent for connoisseurs who appreciate the Parisian savoir vivre.

A Dream

This fragrance is a delightful floral melody that romantically balances between dream and reality; it is the feeling of love at first sight and the promise of a great day. The scent is a bouquet of fresh, velvety roses. The top note is fresh and captivates with a radiant accord. I also detected star anise. Therefore, despite its floral nature, I would prefer to wear it in winter or in the evening. The top note is followed by an opulent, floral heart note. The lingering scent is enhanced by woody and vanilla-infused musk notes, which offer the fragrance accord eternal femininity while simultaneously keeping the promise of outstanding freshness. I can only recommend this fragrance.
