Clarins Par Amour is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2005, created by Raphael Haury. Par Amour opens with Pink Pepper and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Rose, Cardamom, and Vanilla, and dries down to a base of Amber, Sandalwood, Labdanum, and Benzoin. Clarins's Par Amour carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

Clarins Par Amour is a beautifully balanced, understated woody-rose that offers comforting elegance. Despite its soft projection, it leaves a lasting impression, proving that sometimes, a whisper is more captivating than a shout. It's truly a shame it's been discontinued.

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 soft sillage and moderate longevity make it an excellent choice for office wear, as noted by several reviewers. The elegant woody-rose accords also lend themselves well to casual and date settings, though its understated nature might be too subtle for very formal events. It's definitely not one for the gym.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

About

Opens with a delicate blend of juicy blackcurrant and a vibrant spark of pink pepper, quickly ushering in a heart of dewy rose petals cushioned by a touch of warm cardamom. As it settles, a smooth, creamy vanilla emerges, intertwining with a rich base of amber, labdanum, and soft sandalwood, creating a woody-resinous dry-down that is both clean and cozy.
