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 floral-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.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

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.
