Paloma Picasso Paloma Picasso is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1984, created by Francis Bocris. Paloma Picasso opens with Angelica, Bergamot, Lemon, and Neroli, settles into a heart of Hyacinth, Patchouli, Jasmine, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. Paloma Picasso's Paloma Picasso carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

This isn't a shy scent, darling. Paloma Picasso is a bold, take-no-prisoners chypre that screams 80s glam, but in the best possible way. Love it or loathe it, you won't forget it, and you certainly won't smell like anyone else in the room. Some find it a bit much, but if you're after 'dark, sensual, and a bit raunchy', this is your girl.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in winter and autumn.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal

This powerful, long-lasting scent with significant sillage is too dominant for most office environments, though a factory worker found it a pleasant aroma for their workspace. It truly shines for date nights and formal events, exuding a confident, sexy aura. It's far too heavy for casual daytime wear or sport.

About

Imagine stepping into a dimly lit, velvet-draped room where woody depths meet musky intrigue. Rose and carnation bloom with a honeyed, thorny defiance, spiced by coriander and a green whisper of angelica. As it settles, a rich tapestry of civet, castoreum, and oakmoss emerges, creating an animalic purr that's both dirty and elegant. Vetiver and sandalwood ground the composition, leaving a profoundly sensual and captivating trail.
