Parisian Embrace

Parisian Embrace, from the British brand Sentier, is a 2024 gourmand, with smaller floral, spicy, woody, leathery and citrus touches around its sweet core.

The opening is fruity and soft: peach and pear bring juicy, velvety sweetness, while mandarin orange adds a fresh citrus lift. Tangerine blossom creates a delicate floral heart. The defining note is bitter almond, which gives a marzipan-like, nutty sweetness, joined by licorice for a darker, slightly anise-like twist. In the base, vanilla, tonka bean and brown sugar bring a creamy, caramelised warmth that lingers close to the skin.

The profile suggests autumn and winter, evenings, dates and cosy occasions, though the fruit keeps it from feeling heavy. It is meant to be worn by anyone who enjoys almond-led gourmands with a soft, fruity opening.
