How to read this

Top notes arrive first and last around fifteen minutes before giving way to the heart. The heart notes carry the true personality of the fragrance for the first one to two hours. The base notes emerge slowly and are what remains on skin and fabric long after the rest has faded. They define the lasting impression and the depth of Mon Paris.

Frequently asked

About Mon Paris

Mon Paris performs best primarily in warmer months when its character comes alive in heat. Its floral character and moderate sillage make it well suited for romantic occasions. Because it projects at a comfortable distance that most people nearby will notice without being overwhelmed, you can calibrate your application to the setting. Starting with two sprays on pulse points and adjusting from there is a reliable approach.
