Description
After last year’s collection Passport by Paris Hilton which includes three fragrances inspired by journeys, a new fragrance will be added to the collection this year and will take us skiing in St. Moritz.
Top notes of Passport St. Moritz offer fresh ivy, frozen lemon, anjou pear, ice, fresh winter air and green leaves, which highlights winter idyll and cold winter days as inspiration to this fragrant journey. A heart incorporates freesia, white peony, lily of the valley, sambac jasmine and blue poppy flower, along with a base composed of white crystal amber, musk and eco-sandalwood.
Passport St. Moritz can be purchased as 30 and 100ml EDT. It arrives on the market in autumn 2011.

This one smells kind of weird on me, like unusual. I’m more of a fruity perfume person so this might just be a little out of my comfort zone. It doesn’t smell bad or gross just different. I’d say 6/10.

High temps and high humidity have forced me to set aside until fall all of my powerhouse gourmands, leathers, orientals, super-sweets and heavy hitter aldehydes and have me pawing through my collection looking for lighter, cooling and refreshing fragrances.
Those I’m finding most appropriate and appealing in this high heat and humidity include many florals, citrics and aquatics, of course, but also those rich in galbanum greens and many featuring mint and/or pine that seem to create a snowy vibe that also echoes a clean, “just out of the shower” freshness.
Although it wears like a body spray (1-2 hour longevity), I’m really enjoying St. Moritz for its cooling, watery, snowy/minty aspect. Far from smelling cheap or “synthetic”, on my skin St. Moritz smells like a lighter version of 2 of my Annick Goutals, Nuit Etoile and Mandragore, both of which I have in edt concentration. Since those two only last about 2 hours on me, at 1/4 to 1/3 the price of the Goutals, I consider St. Moritz to have been a very nice bargain purchase and fully expect to finish my 100ml bottle between now and the end of August. If I finish it sooner, which is a great possibility since I spray it with abandon, I won’t hesitate to order another. (Since I already have one with a cap and box I’ll get a capless tester for under $8.00 for 100ml). When I finish the aforementioned Goutals, in contrast, I will not repurchase. Make of that what you will.

It’s very early Christmas morning and the snow is falling, softly swirling and dancing. The scenery outside my window is sparkling, pure white and clean – a Winter Wonderland. Not a sound to be heard. In celebration of nature’s wintry display, I’ll wear the scent that best reflects it’s cold, refreshing beauty: Passport St. Moritz. Perfect.
DARR – :
@ Peter this works more as a unisex scent than Tokyo. I have both and Tokyo has more feminine elements than St. Moritz. This one is very fresh/minty/green.. works great for anyone that wants to wear it.
david65 – :
This was a disappointing blind buy for me. To me, it smells quite sour and herbal, but I’m more into gourmands. To Peter below, I don’t have Tokyo but I’d definitely say this is a unisex scent.

Girls, how is the longevity & protection on your skin? Does it last longer than passport Tokyo? Which projects & last longer? Which works better on a Man (more UNISEX?)

This is my go-go juice! When I wake up in the morning groggy eyed needing something to kick me into gear I turn to this very affordable gem. Like rinsing my face with cold water the citrus, aquatic and tingly “mountain air” notes energize my senses. Later, the scent of soft sandalwood and musk tinged with florals lightly adorn the skin. It’s very refreshing, not in the least bit serious. Lasting for only a few hours, that’s enough to get me through the morning.
You will not offend anyone at the office wearing this.
It’s the little sister of CK One. The EDT spray would be great for women or men.
mikol-97 – :
This could have been marketed as a unisex fragrance. It begins as a masculine aquatic and ends as a sweet, feminine powder. Neither appeal to me personally, unfortunately, but I can see how many noses would love this.
dnipro_2008 – :
This is not my favorite type of fragrance but I was intrigued by the comparisons to mountain air and snow. I honestly don’t read that at all. This is a “fresh” green/citrus/aquatic scent with a hint of fruit. This is pleasant, but I can already tell this won’t last long at all. It’s already starting to fade after a generous spraying. The silage is quite low. I will keep this because I can see this being refreshing on hot summer days of which there are plenty here in Arizona.

Gotta hand it to Paris!
This is a really well made fragrance. It’s not going to make a statement and it’s not a typical fruity floral gourmand like her other scents. This is just a fresh and feel-good fragrance for spritzing on during a hot day. It’s not quite tropical or a beach perfume. It’s uplifting and energizing. The fresh mountain air is really in this bottle. There’s citruses mostly lemon and a pear, but it’s not too fruity. It’s cool even cold at the first spritz. This would be Paris Hilton’s version of Cool Water Davidoff. This is an aquatic outdoorsy scent. It really does smell like being out on a mountain when you’re skiing.
The lemon/pear and aquatic notes/fresh air settles down into a poppy and lily of the valley. The florals are not the big players but they’re detectable. Sweet soft flowers including peony and freesia. The flowers come and go before the dry down settles in and it’s a slightly musky scent. The amber is gorgeous and it gives the scent a cleanliness like soap.
There are more notes in this scent than other Paris Hilton fragrances but it’s not a heavy floral or a complex perfume at all. The development is quick. Sillage and longevity could be better but I always reapply and spritz. Feels great smells good. Perfect to wear when it’s hot or humid and you want to freshen up and cool off. I get compliments on it. This is for you if you like Cool Water or Cool Water Woman or even the more famous aquatic scents like Acqua di Gioa or L’eau D’Issey.

Fragrance Review For Passport St Moritz Paris Hilton
Top Notes: Lemon Pear Green Notes Water Notes Mountain Air Ivy
Middle Notes: Jasmine Freesia Lily of the Valley Peony Poppy
Base Notes: Musk Sandalwood Amber
I don’t invest on the Paris Hilton fragrance line but I have enjoyed Tease and Fairy Dust. This is my favorite from the line. This is actually her best. Every ingredient and note works! This is so beautiful. If you’re an avid, athletic mountain climber or skier, this smells just like when you ascend a high mountain in Colorado (Aspen, Denver) or Canada (Blackcomb, Whistler, Banff/Lake Louise) and of the latter I would say that it smells like Lake Louise because of the watery notes. The recreated “fantasy” note of mountain air is cool, icy refreshing and very evocative of real mountain air. This is supposed to be St. Moritz in Switzerland and I’m guessing Paris Hilton the jet setting blonde adventuress has already been there. This is Alpine but essentially it can be any mountain on the planet. It smells of mountains: green, cold, cool, snowy, wintery. The watery notes smells just like the high altitude that contains the falling sleet, ice pellets and precipitation on high mountain elevation levels. The citrus scent also helps with this recreated scent. The lemon and pear are very nice, fruity enough for your enjoyment but not too fruity either and certainly not as fruity as the other Paris Hilton perfumes like Siren. The scent turns green and floral really quickly. It has an ivy scent, green leaves and a lily of the valley which always ends up smelling green. The biggest floral accord here is lily of the valley and how appropriate. They smell like little white flowers that grow on foothills on the base of mountains. The poppy scent is also very reminiscent of mountain poppies and flowers that grow on mountainous areas. Whoever created this fragrance for Paris Hilton did their homework. It smells just like when you’re hiking and climbing mountains and you have to go through the hills first and you get the passing scent of white lily of the valley, ivy and poppy flowers. Beautiful poppies. The flowery scents of jasmine freesia and peony are soft and very lovely. It’s definitely the most flowery of all Paris Hilton perfumes. The dry down is a simple light musk and bigger on warm amber. It starts off cool like ice and warms up. If you’ve ever been out there on very cold mountain areas for a long time and you begin to freeze a little you actually do feel …hot. It’s a fragrance for skiers and mountain climbers. The next time I go skiing in my favorite ski resort in France, in Megeve by the Alps or in Switzerland by the Matterhorn, I’ll be sure to wear this scent.

Passport To St Moritz is a beautiful fragrance of a snowy winter’s morning in St Moritz a popular and expensive ski resort in Switzerland; but they’re all expensive and I much prefer Verbier. This is exactly what this scent takes you, to a cold mountain slope and you can smell ice if ice had a perfumy smell. The coolness comes in the form of fresh lemon citrus. There’s also aquatic notes which give it that icy touch. Think Davidoff Cool Water, Aqua di Gioia/Gio and fragrances like that, you know, very fresh aquatic and revitalizing scents of fresh citrus. This is like the Acqua di Gio for Paris Hilton lol…the first spritz is really quite nice; like a breath of fresh air. The rest of the time the scent smells floral, more floral than fruity. Other than the lemon I also detect a bit of a pear scent but it’s mostly citrus. The white flowers include jasmine lily of the valley and freesia. I love lily of the valley and I could totally smell it here. It’s a soft lily note and the freesia is blending very well with it. The red poppy note is also pretty nice and evokes or tries to evoke flowers that bloom on the mountains, the Alps. This really does turn into an Alpine floral fragrance. The only issue I have with it is that I wish this had more flowers so that it could evoke authentic flowers you see in the mountains. Would have been something if they added Edelweiss the most beautiful floral symbol of Austria, the snow blossom, a white flower that grows in winter and in snow. If only this had been a bigger floral scent but it’s a Paris Hilton perfume and you get what you pay for. It’s not really that heavily floral. It’s pretty but nothing extraordinary. The dry down is a clean amber. All the notes work well together and everything about it is very nice. Even though it advertises as a winter fragrance this is a perfect summer fragrance. Because it’s so refreshing and cool it smells better on you and to others in the hot sun, in warmer weather. Beautiful fragrance.

I am wearing this today and I notice the mintiness and find the effect of all the notes alluring as can be. It reminds me of Blue Grass, though less strong.
Sergeyterm – :
Really want to experience this after I’ve become familiar with the other 3.
Seems like this one is the rarest, how come?
kozyukov – :
This smells like a cold winters day. Citrus, water & green top notes make this a very clean smell. The middle is very fresh clean florals and the base is a nice musky woody amber smell. This lasts an average of 5-6 hours on my skin. The bottle is really cute with a cartoon version of Paris on it And the box is the same. Looks great on my shelf! Paris keep making new passport perfumes please. This gets a 7/10 from me xo
nikoli – :
Someone actually felt the need below to point out this is low quality? It’s $14 for 100ml. The synthetic odorants used to make this probably cost about 4-cents. What were you expecting? Vintage Après L’ondée?
Alexus2319 – :
I think this might be my least favorite in the Passport collection, but I still like it. The initial spray is pretty harsh, but after it dries, it becomes a beautiful crisp, cool, winter scent. I have a bit of an issue with the lemon note being so prominent, but the other notes were chosen well. Lemon can very easily turn a fragrance to a cleaning product scent. That doesn’t quite happen here, but I would certainly prefer it without the lemon. Maybe bergamot or lemon blossom would have been a better choice? Winter fragrances are difficult to execute, but since I only paid $7ish, I think it was a good buy. It lasts about 6 hours on my skin. If you try it in the store, I definitely recommend letting it dry before forming an opinion on it. It makes a huge difference!
deric – :
This scent is neither sweet nor floral. Instead it’s very aquatic and winter-fresh, a nice and unique formula that embodies the luxurious feel of vacationing in St.Moritz. The projection is strong for a Eau de toilette and the dry down is subtle with a four to six hour range of lasting power. I definitely would recommend this to someone who isn’t particularly fond of super sweet or strong floral perfumes.

Badsanta1 – :
The proper term for this perfume would be, “synthetic”. This is low quality.
Lily of the valley was a nice touch. The citrusy notes are not sharp at all, just mutely in the background. Though, I find no depth in this concoction whatsoever. Pretty linear.
One thing that IS true is it’s a winter scent, which, if it worked at all, works best for that season.
St. Mortiz is indirectly insulting to the nose. There is a plastic-y, tremendously artificial kind of twinge in this fragrance that’s 100% there when I scan the notes, but it’s not so strong as to make it completely intolerable.
If this was the only perfume on earth, I’d never wear it. No fragrance is better than having this on.
You can buy some of the cheapest body sprays at the drug store and they are still more wearable than this.
2/10
0.25 oz. spray bottle from Perfumeria, circa October, 2014.

I love this! I recently bought a big bottle for $10!!! It smells VERY minty to my nose. There must be mint in this even though it is not listed in the notes. This is fresh, green, minty, musky, sophisticated and imo unisex. I find this unique and not similar to anything I have smelled before. I have been reaching for this a lot since I bought it as it is very refreshing in the hot summer.
klarager – :
It’s a HOT summer so I bought this hoping it would cool me down, haha, there’s snow on the box. This is perfect for summer! It smells just like walking out of a fresh shower.

I’m so childish…yup, s’true! I saw this gift set at TJ’s for FIVE dollars (Big bottle) but nooooooooo….did I GET it? NOPE! Reading these reviews makes me want to go pay the 5.00 for the littly itsy bitsy teeny weeny bottle. I’ll do it, and I learnt a lesson…buy blind whenever in doubt for anything under 10.00!
There are so many reviews that enticed my “I gotta have it NOW!” button that I can’t even name em all!
Cripes…. crisp lemon, crisp air? ageless<—I’m likin’ THAT, frosty mint, cool breeze, aqua, winter…WINTER!…I simply love winter.
This is my most wanted at this precise moment…measley pennies…and it’s MINE!
I’m not happy about spring now. I want more woolen sweaters, snow, and THIS scent.
Note–> This is very much like Annick Goutal Nuit Etoilee to my untrained nose. I’m sure many will gasp at the mention of this. They DO have differences but, so very alike.
Zeklylype – :
This is by far my favorite of the passport perfumes. It’s cool and crisp, very different than many things I have. I don’t reach for this often, but when I do, it never disappoints.
sobaka1 – :
Crisp lemon-water with a hint of lily of the valley, this perfume is beautiful! I woke up the next day and could still smell it close to my skin.
PVI_81 – :
I bought this perfume when I had a store credit to burn since I usually lose a gift card before I spend it I quickly looked up the notes and settled on this one. First off I have to agree with other reviewers not to judge this by the packaging which I find horrid. The smell however is crisp and beautiful. The lasting power is beyond fabulous for the price. To me this is very reminiscent of Tommy Freedom which was discountinued long ago and a little bit like gap dream in its presenation of a soft clean sent without the overload of fressia of course. This perfume balances a clean hint of lemon with crisp air in a slightly sugary overtone that makes it ageless. Because I hate the packaging this will be filling one of my decorative bottles that has been begging to be occupied. Its a good anytime perfume and for the price is perfect to keep in the car or desk drawer for a refresher.

I really love the winter-freshness of St. Moritz. It reminds me of the WinterFresh gum minus the mint (although I do smell an unlerlying mint tone or taste even though there isn’t mint in this). I definitely envision myself in the cool mountain region wirh pine trees on a cool or cold day. It reminds me of Mt. Lemmon, Arizona . I don’t know why paris is depicted with a santa hat, but maybe she went to St. Moritz for Christmas- the bottle is adorbs. It lasts for a few hours; from a green lemony brief opening it quickly warms up to the powdery musky heart with more of that winter note ( that’s artificial but still blends well); the drydown is a very warm pretty soft musk that lingers to rhe skin. This fragrance overwell projects well but wull stay close to you the entire time perfect for the office it’s very mature and sosphisticated 🙂
menicer – :
I have all the passports. I don’t like any of them. They all smell of really cheap body spray unfortunatel. I do love her original perfume though. This paparticular one smells of powdery cheap musk, not for me.
Artnofs – :
I’ve tried almost all of Paris’ fragrances and as much as I think she’s a stupid, I have to admit that I do like and wear her perfumes. Plus they are affordable which is always good. Moving on.. I have tried all of the Passport perfumes and like them all. This particular one starts off kinda sharp, citrusy/floral, and fresh. It does mellow out rather quickly into soft, slightly musky, “aqua” scent. It is a little more grown up than the other Passport scents. Nothing spectacular but quite nice on its own. It does resemble a cool breeze in a way!
2rruRirF – :
This does not smell fruity or exactly floral or sweet- it smells clean and fresh (like a “Clean”-brand fragrance) and would work year-round. I like it, you can spray a few times without making it over-powering.
Shak – :
This smells candy fresh , i really like how it blends with my body chemistry , this smells very icy like fresh citrus on a cool winter day, I’m in love with all of Paris’s passport perfumes collections, this one is my fave thus so far, I purchased this on a blind buy and was not disappointed at all. I already owned all of her other passport perfumes , & trusted St.Moritz would be no exception, & I am impressed. Opening to me smells aquatic icy fresh the dry down is a slighty musky powdery skin scent very likable , this can also be a unisex fragrance because of its complexity , its not feminine nor masculine rather a mixture of both. Iove this one!
Tefisiori – :
To me, this scent smells nothing like the notes listed. Its got soft powder, mildly sweet florals, and a touch of musk. The opening is very different from the drydown. It opens fresh, green and aquatic, but within minutes becomes a very subtle, soft, skin scent. I like the opening, but I really love the drydown.
Maria_fromAD – :
IMO The Paris Hilton Passport collection is fantastic. The bottles and the concept: cute. The fragrances are safe yet fun.
This one is actually the serious scent though. Since it’s green and the freshest. It reminds me of the sourness in DKNY Be Delicious.
This is not my favorite but it’s nice. I recommend it to DKNY fans.
emikojing – :
This is another favorite of mine from the Passport Fragrances. At first it’s a very sour scent (lemon). It really stands out amongst the Green and Water notes. It’s actually something that one must grow accustomed to but after the first splash, you start to pick up the Poppy scents but the Musky base notes never really seem to shine.
It’s fresh and full of citrus which is very uncommon for me to wear BUT my only real complaint is that it doesn’t last long on my skin. I may get a breif scent of it when I turn my head or when I am in close proximity to someone else but when standing still or walking it doesn’t stand out like the Passport Paris perfume. Overall, I would recommend it for anyone who would like a light, fresh, winter scent.
wnc584InsuffBooni – :
ST MORITZ is fresh citrus, with a mild watery undertone for the first five to ten minutes. As well as the starring lemon note, there is enough pear here to soften the tart under-bite to the long sweet-but-fresh note.
I think there is mint in here, to mimic ice/cool air, with gives everything a jolt – it’s very energising. I can’t separate any of the individual floral notes out, there’s just the overall impression of a mossiness and a peppery undertone. I think there is some some neroli mixed in with everything too, for a fresh spiciness.
The sandalwood notes combine with the florals and develop within 30 minutes. The mild breeze of musk becomes noticeable at the same time as the woods develop, so whilst I’m not a fan of musky notes, it doesn’t bother me here.
I’d class ST. MORITZ as unisex, so if you dislike sweet or overly floral releases then ST MORITZ is well worth a spritz.

I am In Love! I was really eorried, about the green notes in this fragrance, simply because im not a fan of “Green” Fresh, fragrances. I love Sweet, Vanilla, Cotton Candy…anything sweet.
Although, this fragrance, isnt extremely sweet, it is great. I only get a hint of the green note.
It smells VERY similiar, to Passport Paris. Which, happens to be my favorite out of the Passport’s. I Didnt expect that at all, because the noted are very diffrent.
But in the Opening, there are some “Diffrent” Notes in their, that blend very well. A Chemical, almost synthetic smell. But its not bad. not bad at all.
Its Not like, a Bug Spray chemcial smell.
I think that it’s the Winter Air note. Its actually, quite nice, and really pleasant.
I Am a HUGE fan of Celebrity fragrances. ESPICIALLY Paris Hilton. I Love All of her fragrances, except for Just Me. And Thankfully, Paris has Done it again. The Gueen of frgarance.
This is deffinitally a Winter scent. My only Problem with it, is that the lasting Power is not good.
Which, isnt anything new with Paris’s fragrances.
when i wear one of her’s, I always carry it with me, so i can Re-Apply throughout the day. Im deffinitatally, gonna be wearing this onw, during the winter months. Give it a Try!

I’m one of those few that like PH’s perfumes and this one sounds like it would be light and refreshing:I’m curious about the ‘winter air’ note…
