Bourjois Soir de Paris is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1928, created by Ernest Beaux. Soir de Paris opens with Bergamot, Violet, Peach, and Apricot, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Iris, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Vanilla. Bourjois's Soir de Paris carries an Acquired verdict, a powdery-led wear.

This legendary classic, with its deep violet and powdery embrace, brings forth nostalgic memories for many. It's a polarizing scent; some find it a delightful vintage dream, while others are put off by its 'old-fashioned' character and sharp edges.

About

A journey from vibrant fruit to a deeply cushioned floral heart. It opens with bright peach and apricot alongside soft bergamot, quickly ushering in a rich bouquet of violet, rose, and iris that leans heavily into a plush, almost cosmetic powderiness. The drydown settles into the warmth of amber, vanilla, and a hint of soft musk, creating a sophisticated and enveloping aura that lingers delightfully.
