Reviews of Paloma Picasso / Mon Parfum| blood-orange AustraliaShow all reviews | I think it may have been the bottle design that had me running in the opposite direction for many years due to its very 80's style. Now that I'm older I've found some great respect for those classic 80's fragrances, so as would be expected, Paloma Picasso was on my list of scents to try. 24th September, 2011. |
| EugeniaLOL United StatesShow all reviews | I am very, very new to this; I don't know many frags yet and don't have a good basis for comparison. But I got a mini of this after hearing about it in several threads about green chypres. My current favorite is Niki de Saint Phalle, which is variously described as a green chypre oriental leather, has made me want to try other things with those descriptors to figure out how all those scent ideas work. 5th June, 2011. |
![]() Off-Scenter Show all reviews | Paloma Picasso opens on a big, brash accord of green jasmine, patchouli, peaches, and bergamot. The scale is huge and the intent is clearly to impress, then dominate. A rich rose note soon arrives to underscore the jasmine, while moss and labdanum base notes tie the bergamot into a recognizable chypre accord. In both its sheer mass and its basic structure, Paloma Picasso smells like a jasmine-based variant on the rose chypre style of its mid-1980s contemporaries Paris, Beautiful, and Knowing. Which is to say that it’s completely at odds with the current trend of minimalist chic. 27th May, 2011. (Last Edited: 28th May, 2011.) |
| Jamethiel AustraliaShow all reviews | A perfume for night or when I'm feeling particularly feminine. The coriander and patchouli amp on me, but the honey and hyacinth make it lush. I can't smell any rose, and I swear there's jasmine in there. 20th May, 2011. |
![]() JimHeckel United StatesShow all reviews | I see Van Cleef & Arpels Pour Homme has a little sister (I say 'little' because VC&APH came out in 1978 and this one came out in 1984). If I were to date a lady wearing this, I would be initially attracted, but would surely watch my step. Fancy, rich, and every bit as ladylike as VC&APH is gentlemanly. Someone here mentioned a cigarette-smoking mature lady in a Mercedes - that totally works, and no I am not being sarcastic either. Remember Foreigner's music video 'Say You Will' - the part where the lady was spraying on perfume? That was Paloma Picasso, I am sure of it. 3rd February, 2011. |
