What We Do Is Secret What We Do In Paris Is Secret is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Dominique Ropion. What We Do In Paris Is Secret opens with Bergamot, Honey, and Litchi, settles into a heart of Rose, Heliotrope, and Vanilla, and dries down to a base of Amber, Sandalwood, Tonka Bean, and Tolu Balsam. What We Do Is Secret's What We Do In Paris Is Secret carries a Favourite verdict, a vanilla-led wear.

This one's a proper head-scratcher. Some reckon it's a classy, honeyed dream, others get pure baby powder, Play-Doh, or even baby wipes. Definitely try before you buy, because your skin chemistry will make or break this Parisian secret.

About

Imagine a sweet, creamy cloud opening with a bright burst of honey and litchi, gently spiced with bergamot. It soon settles into a powdery delight, where rose, vanilla, and heliotrope create an almond-like floral heart. The base lingers with a warm, balmy embrace of sandalwood, amber, and tonka bean, leaving a soft, luxurious scent that can sometimes lean into a comforting, nostalgic powderiness.
