French Stage For Women

French Stage opens with a juicy rush of nectarine, black currant and clementine that mirrors the candied, cheerful start of Paris Hilton Can Can. A sensual floral heart of orchid and orange blossom adds a flirty, feminine touch, before a warm base of amber, musk and woody notes lends that cosy, slightly mysterious drydown the original is known for. Where Can Can has a rounded, seductive amber-musk depth, this budget version reads a touch sweeter and more linear, the fruit a little more candied and the base slightly thinner. Projection is moderate to good and longevity is modest at four to six hours, broadly matching the original though fading a little faster. It is a playful, flirtatious fruity-floral for casual daytime, light dates and warmer-weather evenings, and an affordable way to relive the sweet boudoir charm of Can Can.
