Paramour

I love almost all perfumes from this house and I have 5 of them for now but I think Paramour is my favorite. First I was amazed by the beauty of Paramour 91 but because it's so difficult to find I gave a chance to the original Paramour and I haven't regretted it for a moment. Leather as a note can be difficult for me but I love it when it's blended smoothly with other notes like it's here. It's not challenging at all. This scent is incredibly charming on men and on women. Straight away from the start there is a beautiful subtle sweetness from Raspberry and and personally, it's that note, along with the others of course, that makes this scent irresistible. I love the sweetness combined with heavy notes, like leather, Patchouli and Amber here, and that's created by caramel and vanilla along with Raspberry. This blend is very smooth, it's velvety, it's delicious and it's classy. It's blended so well that if I hadn't seen the notes, it would have been completely impossible to guess even half of them. Paramour is an oriental scent and it has the popular combination of Rose, leather and Patchouli, but the scent has absolutely no familiar aroma from the combination of those three notes. This is clearly fruity, not floral and there is a gentle spiciness in it. If I had to say three notes that are crucial to making this so special to me, I would say raspberry, leather and Vanilla. The scent doesn't feel heavy at all even in warm weather, but it really shines now that it's a little cooler. It's not too opulent and dense, it just perfect. The sophistication in Paramour and its innocent seductive character is impossible to describe. FYI: The difference between the juice in old/new bottle is minimal. An old one feels a little bit darker and a new one is maybe a tad sweeter but very little. The difference is maybe only because of maceration. Thank you for reading, I hope my review was helpful. I would appreciate a lot if you want to follow me on IG and/or YouTube (English subtitles): @ninamariahperfumes It gives me a lot of motivation to write more.. 🤗

Did I blind buy this baby because it shares a similar namesake to my favourite band Paramore? HELL YEAH. I'm not even a fan of leather scents but thank goodness this fragrance blends and disguises the leather note well by covering it with candied fruitiness without it smelling very middle eastern at all. Scent: Paramour opens up with a caramel drizzled raspberry scent that might feel a little to sweet to some but to me it is well supported by the slight warm spiciness of the saffron and zesty freshness of the citruses to round it out beautifully. When it begins to dry down, the leather note starts surfacing but it never really becomes the main focal point which I prefer as strong leathery scents make me nauseous. The leather in Paramour blends beautifully with the caramelised raspberry and warm ambers to round it out with sweetness. Performance: I don't often call fragrances beast mode but this definitely gets very close. Lasted around 12 hours on my skin with it only becoming a skin scent after maybe the 9 hour mark and even then you'd occasionally get whiffs of it in the air. Projects like a motherfucker too so definitely be conservative when it comes to the sprays for the sake of others and yourself. Versatility: I can't see this being worn in any semblance of heat without giving yourself a headache so that definitely takes a whole season and temperature range out of its score. Definitely leans masculine with the leather undertones and it's more of a classy or date night scent as well, not really something you'd throw on for a casual night out with the boys. Scent: 9.5/10 Performance: 9.5/10 Versatility: 6/10 Personal Score: 8.5/10 A leather scent that I don't have to just put up with and actually enjoy smelling due to its amazing blend of ingredients. Would have never bothered trying it as well if it didn't sound similar to Paramore. Priorities, people!

Bottles are fantastic, premium feel and wonderful magnetic caps. Simple, clean designs and very elegant. Packaging is neat. The atomiser is pressurised and delivers a nice long and stunning spray. Fragrance is really a masterpiece to me. Raspberry is prominent and full, not overly sweet or candied, blends exceptionally with the Saffron which provides an earthy/smoky vibe to keep the fragrance grounded. It evolves into leather but not typical or strong, just balanced. I personally pickup the cedarwood here but it is faint. I cannot comment on sillage but longevity for me on skin when first sprayed was around 6 hours before I showered - it would probably have gone till 8+ hours but it was already dried down to a more subtle woody, earthy and leather vibe. This was purchased here in Oman and only after having sprayed on skin and waiting 2 hours. Well worth the money for me as well as the other pick up from OmanLuxury - Caden.

I wish people were more respectful of perfumes and the people behind them. I'm a white girl who likes what people call middle eastern perfumes. Anything that has spices or leather will definitely catch my attention. However, this isn't just any perfume. It's a great perfume. Does it have a DNA that's been used by other brands? Yes. Do I think they even come close? Nope. Not to mention the 100ML bottle isn't that expensive for a niche perfume and has a heavy magnetic cap. The notes blend incredibly well and the longevity is excellent. I can smell it from 7AM to 7PM. First, you're hit with the fruit exactly as they're presented in the pyramid with a bit of leather. As time passes, caramel becomes more prominent. This is definitely a leathery gourmand... And I am usually not into that. 9/10 perfume (only because it's very sweet.)

I’ve purchased all OMANLUXURY fragrances on their website and had the most amazing experience with them. Free engraving, premium shipping, they treat you like royalty. I’ve been here pretty much the only one writing comments and having actually seen the fragrance bottles, set aside owning them. I’m happy that the brand is alive. Caden is coming my way too. Paramour it not a banger like the many others. It’s a warm, calm fruity and creamy fragrance to be enjoyed by everyone. I like wearing it on a rainy day to pick up my mood. If you’re into leather fragrances try SERENITY. Paramour is not a leather fragrance by my standards. Wear it with pride. It’s something special. Don’t pay any attention to the comment here. Enjoy.
