I have no idea how old my small bottle of Coty Paris might be, but the parfum inside is gorgeous and very well preserved. I get lilac, heliotrope, and a resplendent rose with a little sweetness and vanilla, with a suggestion of something like almond pastry. There is definitely some frisky but tame civet underneath. Paris is a little bit like vintage Joy parfum crossed with L’Heure Bleue.
In the 1940’s, Paris was advertised with a series of intensely chic ads by one of the top illustrators of the day, Carl Erickson (1891-1958), known as “Eric.” He was an illustrator for Vogue from 1925-58. In Eric’s series of ads for Paris, which all feature two beautiful, gorgeously attired ladies out on the town together, Paris is heralded as “The Double Note Perfume.” I have not been able to find a clear explanation of this marketing slogan, but sniffing my arm, I am going to guess that the double notes in Paris are lilac and rose.

This was my mother’s favorite perfume. It was a floral, but not sweet in the way today’s fruity/candy scents so often are; it seemed very grown-up and sophisticated to me as a child. When it was discontinued, my mom was bereft. She finally found solace in Chanel #19. When I think of her, I can almost smell Coty’s Paris, as if she had just walked into the room.

So glad to see this long discontinued beauty finally added to the base. If any perfume could be called, “hopelessly romantic” this is it. The predominant notes of violet, lilac, hyacinth, and heliotrope make “Paris” one of the softest, most feminine fragrances ever. Makes you long for the days when Coty made exquisite perfumes and was not just a pimp for second rate smell alike celebrity junk. Coty should definitely consider reissuing this one.
