How does the leather note in Paramour behave?+−
The leather here is sophisticated and smooth rather than animalic or harsh. It is balanced by the sweetness of caramel and the tartness of raspberry, which prevents the scent from feeling too rugged or industrial.
Is this suitable for office wear?+−
Given its potent projection and rich, spicy profile, this fragrance is better suited for evening events, leisure, or formal night-outs. It may be too loud for a small office environment unless applied very sparingly.
Does the raspberry make it smell like a candy-style perfume?+−
No, the raspberry is used more for its tartness and color. The presence of saffron, cinnamon, and cedarwood pulls the fragrance into a spicy, leathery territory rather than a literal gourmand or candy-sweet direction.
How long can I expect this fragrance to last?+−
Paramour is known for its exceptional staying power. It typically lasts through a full work day and into the evening, with the base notes of leather, amber, and musk clinging to clothing for much longer.
