Paul Smith Paul Smith Women is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2000, created by Nathalie Lorson. Paul Smith Women opens with Clementine, Bergamot, Mandarin, and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Rose, Geranium, Lily of the Valley, and Freesia, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Vetiver, Patchouli, and Tonka Bean. Paul Smith's Paul Smith Women carries a Statement verdict, a green-led wear.

This early noughties floral-woody number is a surprisingly divisive blind buy. While some find its green-tea and rose heart to be a fresh, clean dream, others are hit with an overwhelming peppery, masculine woodiness. Definitely one to try before you commit.

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.

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

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium

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 Women opens with a lively burst of clementine, mandarin, and sharp pink pepper, brightened by juicy pear and blackcurrant. This energetic start mellows into a heart of delicate rose and lily of the valley, underpinned by a distinctive, slightly bitter tea note. The dry down reveals a sophisticated base of cedar, earthy vetiver, and patchouli, with a whisper of sweet tonka bean adding depth.
