Paul Smith Paul Smith London Men is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2004, created by Antoine Lie. Paul Smith London Men opens with Orange, Mandarin, Violet, and Violet Leaf, settles into a heart of Vetiver, Jasmine, and Lavender, and dries down to a base of Amber, Sandalwood, and Tonka Bean. Paul Smith's Paul Smith London Men carries an Acquired verdict, a sweet-led wear.

A truly unique scent that's been snatched back from the brink of discontinuation and repackaged. Forget the officially listed notes, the community agrees this is a creamy, minty, violet-coconut dream that smells like a holiday cocktail - for better or worse.

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.

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:

Its moderate projection makes it generally acceptable for some office environments, though it leans too casual for formal events and lacks the zest for sport.

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.

Other declarable allergens

  • Lavender Lavandula Hybrida Oil from Lavender
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Spearmint Mentha Viridis Leaf Oil from Mint

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Paul Smith London kicks off with a fresh, sparkling blast of mint and mandarin, quickly softening into a distinctive violet and creamy coconut-like accord (despite no coconut being listed). The dry down reveals a warm, amber-sandalwood base, underpinned by earthy vetiver and sweet tonka bean, delivering a consistently smooth, tropical vibe.
