«Add three letters to Paris: it becomes paradise » according to Jules Renard’s aphorism. And along the water, in the rustle (froufrou in french) of Paris, we go back in time in the wake of the Seine. This cruise is a sensory stroll through Paris, the world capital of taste and elegance. Symbol of a French “art de vivre” , Paris remains the city of Perfume, where the most beautiful wakes are created.

The different scents

While contemplating the monuments of the capital, we will evoke and smell the perfumes of the Orient from Egypt to Arabia, the fumes of incense from the sacred to Notre-Dame, the leather accords of the glove-perfumers of the Pont au Change, the scent of Paris under the Kings.

Paris seduces

City of lights and fashion, Paris seduces and inspires many designers: François Coty thus named one of his perfumes “Paris” in 1922. Launched in 1928 by Bourjois, “Evening in Paris”, was marketed in France a year later under the name of “Soir de Paris”. In 1983, Yves Saint Laurentlaunched “Paris”, an essential scent in the name of the capital to celebrate women in love in Paris.
