Soir de Paris

by Ernest Beaux

Bourjois Soir de Paris is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1928, created by Ernest Beaux. Soir de Paris opens with Violet, Peach, Apricot, and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Rose, Lily Of The Valley, Iris, and Jasmine, and dries down to a base of Sandalwood, Musk, Amber, 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.

Its vintage character and strong powdery florals make it less suitable for a modern office environment. However, its romantic and elegant aura elevates it for formal occasions and dates. While some find it 'cozy' or suitable for casual wear, its intensity might be too much for everyday casual situations.

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.
