Paloma Picasso Paloma Picasso is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1984. Paloma Picasso opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Neroli, and Coriander, settles into a heart of Hyacinth, Rose, Jasmine, and Lily Of The Valley, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. Paloma Picasso's Paloma Picasso carries an Acquired verdict, an aromatic-led wear.

Paloma Picasso EDT is a divisive classic, admired for its confident, unapologetic chypre character, yet equally scorned as an 'old lady' scent. It's a statement fragrance that commands attention, not for the faint of heart.

While some find the EDT version more subdued than the EDP, it still projects a strong presence due to its chypre nature and animalic notes. It's best suited for formal events and dates, or cooler casual settings, rather than the office or active wear, where its boldness might be overwhelming.

About

This opens with a bold aldehyde burst, brightened by citrus and a spicy kick of coriander. The heart unfurls into a rich floral bouquet of hyacinth, rose, and jasmine, settling into a deep, earthy base of oakmoss, vetiver, and civet. Expect a clean, musky drydown with a hint of animalic warmth.
