Paris Mascate

Paris Mascate by Carven is a warm floral fragrance from 2017, made for women, with rose at its heart and a sweet, spicy, woody and ambery frame.

Bitter orange opens it with a bright, slightly bitter citrus note, and coriander adds a warm, aromatic spice. Moroccan rose then takes centre stage, rich and velvety, with geranium adding a green, slightly minty floral edge. The base turns sweet and enveloping, with vanilla and tonka bean bringing creaminess, amber a soft glow, and patchouli an earthy depth.

It suits those who like rose with a spiced, ambery warmth rather than fresh and green. The vanilla and amber make it especially fitting for autumn and winter, for evenings, dinners and special occasions, while the citrus opening keeps it bright enough for daytime in cooler weather. It should appeal to anyone who enjoys sweet, spiced rose fragrances and wants a cosy, elegant scent that evokes travel and warmth, much as its name suggests.
