Etro Paisley is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011. Paisley opens with Redcurrant Leaf, Bergamot, and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Ylang-Ylang, and Pink Pepper, and dries down to a base of Patchouli, Vanilla, and Ambergris. Etro's Paisley carries a Favourite verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

Paisley tries to be a minimalist and modern spicy green scent, but it's a bit too 'nice' for its own good. It's perfectly pleasant and inoffensive but ultimately forgettable, often fading into a basic vanilla. Not a bad shout for a low-key daily wear, if you can forgive the weak performance.

Its transparent and soft projection makes it ideal for office wear, where it won't overwhelm. The casual vibe comes from its approachable, non-challenging nature, though its lack of strong sillage means it's not impactful enough for formal events or a standout date night.

About

Opens with a fleeting fresh and green kick from redcurrant leaf and bergamot, swiftly joined by a bright dusting of cardamom. The heart introduces a creamy ylang-ylang and delicate jasmine, given a gentle warmth by pink pepper. The final dry-down is a soft, sweet vanilla, underpinned by earthy patchouli and a touch of salty ambergris, which rarely fully blooms before dissipating.
