Alaïa Paris Alaïa is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Marie Salamagne. Alaïa opens with Fresh and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Rose, Peony, and Freesia, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, and Violet. Alaïa Paris's Alaïa carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

This is a truly divisive scent- a love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect strong, almost contradictory notes of cool freshness, bold leather, and powdery florals. Not a safe blind buy, but a real gem for those it clicks with.

About

Alaïa opens with a fresh, almost mineral 'mountain air' blast, sharpened by pink pepper. The heart unfurls into a rich bouquet of rose, peony, and freesia, gracefully transitioning to a distinctive base. Here, a soft, inviting leather note merges with powdery violet and a clean musk, creating a sophisticated aroma that's both sharp and surprisingly smooth.
