Paramour
ScentArt
Which Should You Buy?
A legendary 80s powerhouse white floral that polarises opinion: some find it a gorgeous, complex masterpiece; others a dated, overwhelming floral bomb. You either adore its vibrant, unapologetic essence or dismiss it as too vintage, harking back to a forgotten era.
A smooth, sweet leather that’s much softer than its cousins. Paramour is an approachable gourmand leather with mass appeal, perfect if you want something less aggressive than the usual suspects.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
Its potent projection and full-bodied nature make it less suitable for office or casual daytime wear where subtlety is preferred. However, its elegance and complexity are perfect for formal events and intimate date nights, as many users describe it as a 'statement' fragrance for special occasions.
Seasons
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Occasions
While it can be a 'beast' on projection, its softer, smoother leather profile makes it more versatile than sharper leather scents. It shines on dates and formal evenings, but is too prominent for daily office wear and certainly not for sport.
Similarity Breakdown
Both share Warm Spicy, Sweet, Woody accords and Rose, Jasmine notes
