Tea Time à Paris Pavlova

Tea Time à Paris Pavlova takes its name from the meringue dessert, and the French brand Jeanne Arthes has built the 2021 fragrance accordingly: everyone describes it as gourmand, with a third also finding it musky and a smaller group noticing a floral touch.

Whipped cream, cream and toffee give it a soft, dairy sweetness, more like a spoonful of pudding than hard candy, and vanilla deepens that into a warm, comforting base. Strawberry and apple provide the fruit on top of the pavlova, the strawberry sweet and slightly jammy, the apple adding a crisper, fresher edge so it does not become cloying. Rose contributes a light floral lift, and white musk with plain musk gives the whole thing a clean, soft finish that sits close to the skin.

This is a feminine, playful scent for anyone who enjoys dessert-style fragrances in a creamy rather than spicy register, and it feels made for relaxed, informal occasions.
