Wild Azalea EDT
Mon Paris and Wild Azalea share some musky, white floral DNA, but diverge significantly in overall impact. Mon Paris is a sweet, potent, and long-lasting fruity chypre, radiating luxury and making a statement. Wild Azalea, in contrast, is a simple, light, citrus-forward fragrance, better suited for casual, everyday wear. The biggest difference lies in their complexity, sillage and price point. If you want an affordable everyday scent, go for Wild Azalea. Choose Mon Paris for a memorable signature.

Performance
Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Juicy strawberry and peony put it in spring and summer first. The patchouli and vanilla base lets it carry into autumn.
Occasions
A natural for romantic evenings, and light enough for casual days and the office. Formal evenings call for something more dressed up.
Seasons
Citrus and green azalea suit spring and summer equally, and winter wants something warmer.
Occasions
Unobtrusive and clean, it is a natural for the office and casual days, and fine for lunch with a friend. It lacks formal presence.
