Comète Paradis 62

The first notes are bitter and surprising, reminiscent of raw, aromatic cacao, but this only lasts for a few moments. Sandalwood quickly brings a very pleasant woody scent, wrapped in a note that evokes the comforting warmth of a dessert—but without the sweetness. Probably the Tonka bean. I love the trail this fragrance creates, and I keep smelling it on my wrists, never growing tired of it. It’s a scent that is both simple—though evolving—refined, and completely gender-neutral. It’s exactly what I had been looking for. Warm like a crackling fireplace and as satisfying as a piece of very dark chocolate. ** It is stated on this website that coconut is among the fragrance notes of this perfume, but as far as I can tell, it is not part of the composition, and I don’t detect it on my skin either. Fragrance notes: Cocoa Butter – Robertet Exclusive, Tonka Bean Venezuela, Sandalwood New Caledonia. _________ FRANÇAIS Les premières notes sont amères et surprenantes, à la manière d’un cacao brut et aromatique, mais cela ne dure que quelques instants. Le bois de santal apporte rapidement une odeur boisée très agréable, enveloppée par une note qui rappelle le réconfort d’un dessert, mais sans le sucre. Probablement la fève Tonka. J’aime le sillage que ce parfum crée, et je n’arrête pas de sentir son odeur sur mes poignets, odeur dont je ne me lasse pas. C’est un parfum à la fois simple - quoique évolutif -, raffiné et tout à fait non genré. Il correspond exactement à ce que je cherchais depuis un moment. Il est chaleureux comme un feu de cheminée et satisfaisant comme un carré de chocolat - très - noir. ** Il est indiqué sur ce site qu’il y aurait de la noix de coco dans les notes olfactives de ce parfum, mais il me semble bien qu’il n’y en a pas dans sa composition et je ne sens pas non plus sa présence sur ma peau. Notes olfactives: Beure de Cacao - Exclusivité Robertet, Fève Tonka Venezuela, Bois de Santal Nouvelle - Calédonie

Having a chocolate pina colada on a night out at a dive bar in paradise. Intoxicating yet unique. scent breakdown - Opens up with a wonderful mix of tropical coconut milk mixed with buttery and sweet cocoa with slight hints to the creamy sandalwood in the base. As it dries down the creamy sandalwood begins to take over; the coconut, cocoa, and twinge of tonka come in to support the sandalwood. In the deep dry down the BR540-esque sweet musk/ambroxan of the base comes to tag along with the sandalwood. personal thoughts - A very nice unisex woody/coconut scent for those like myself who might be a little tired of the oversaturated tanning lotion-esque or sickeningly sweet coconut fragrance market. One of the very few tropical fragrances that I think could be worn year-round with sprays/scenarios permitting. This is tied for my favorite in the house along with Mile High, and funnily enough; Mile High + this fragrance layered makes this much better suited for the summertime than this by itself. performance - Great performance of 10ish hours with moderate projection throughout the first half of the fragrance, sinking to intimate for the rest. rating - 9.2/10. when to wear - Dive bars in paradise; Campfire on the beach with friends; Late night yacht parties song vibe - All Night Long by Lionel Richie and Jimmy Buffett TLDR - Chocolate pina colada + creamy sandalwood + BR540 sweet muskiness. A very yummy and unique dark tropical fragrance. It is a must-try if you're looking for a darker, richer fragrance with a fun tropical vibe or a coconut fan.

When I first tried Comète Paradis, I judged it by projection and longevity. I wanted radiance. I wanted something that filled space. Now I understand it differently. Comète Paradis is not meant to radiate, it’s meant to hover. It sits close to the skin in a soft, almost weightless way. The texture is airy, creamy, and gently musky, like a quieter extension of Milky Musk rather than a louder evolution. There’s a soft sweetness pushing forward. No dramatic trail. It’s intimate and restrained. You don’t wear this to be noticed across a room, you wear it for yourself, or for someone already close. Yes, it stays subtle. Yes, it can feel fleeting. But that restraint is part of its identity. It’s comfort in low volume. Milky Musk still feels more structured and more present on my skin. Comète Paradis feels softer, more ephemeral, almost like a memory of warmth rather than warmth itself. It’s beautiful, but it requires the right expectations. This isn’t about projection. It’s about closeness. Try before you buy, not because it lacks quality, but because you have to want this level of softness. Scent: 8/10 | Longevity: 6.5/10 | Projection: 5.5/10 | Overall: 7.5/10

Wow. I like this house (I own mile high and have tried about half the other offerings including milky musk) so was keen to try this. Smelt in Printemps whilst on holiday in Paris, and woah, it was love at first sniff. The blotter I had it on gave a very diffusive scent into the air of my hotel room until I left (~around 4 days) and the wafts were gorgeous. Predominantly coconut, with a smooth creamy sandalwood and musks. Quite linear, with just the slightest sprinkle of cacao to make this delicious without being overtly gourmand. This is absolutely gorgeous, it will serve as a great day time scent in colder weather, evening in warmer and a cosy, comforting blanket any time. Reminiscent of blanche bête for me - the coconut and musks and overall enveloping feel are similar. I went and purchased from the brand's boutique and can't wait to wear once I'm home. EDIT: Worn it a few times since being home and it just struck me - RICE PAPER! In the opening it has a rice paper kind of texture/scent, sweet and powdery in that same way as those little sheets of rice paper I would buy as a child.

The aroma is a cocooning hug of sweet coconut musk and creamy sandalwood. It seems like a sweeter, complex and more gourmand version of D’orsay’s J’approchais Un Mystère A.C. The opening has a slightly fruity / floral note that I can put my finger on, but it counterbalances the rich tonka / sandalwood base and stops the sweetness from becoming too cloying. A comforting scent in cooler months, but I think it will become more of a warm tropical vibe in summer. Love! Edit: it’s is a stealth beast mode fragrance—I applied it at 2pm and the aroma seemed to swell and gain intensity over the space of the first 4 hours. By 9pm, it was still so strong that I had to apologise to the chef for my intrusive aroma (I live in Japan and it’s bad manners to wear strong perfume in counter restaurants). It’s now midnight at it’s still beautiful fragrant. I absolutely adore this perfume, but I’ll be careful about the days I chose to wear it, and will be mindful about over-spraying!

This fragrance is going to go “through the roof popular” once YouTubers get ahold of it. Wow!! Just wow! It’s love at first sniff! THIS IS THE BEST SANDALWOOD fragrance I have ever encountered. The sandalwood / sweetness / spicy ratio is just magnificent. Very high quality naturals being used. Opens with the most perfect cinnamon woody note with some coconut and musk to make it lighter, then when the Tonka bean base comes in, more sandalwood comes in and it’s so creamy. This is unisex for sure, sits in the middle. But I will say, the dry down starts to lean a tad more to the feminine side. I have no issue with that. It’s gorgeous. They absolutely killed this composition. I already went through my decant and ordered a full bottle. If you like the note of sandalwood, order a sample of this right away. 10/10!!!! I don’t see anyone being offended by this offering, it’s very mood lifting.

Picked this up when visiting their Paris retail and going through their whole collection. Not only was it my favorite while there, I've been on a search for a musky chocolate fragrance that is not cloyingly sweet or desert prone and this hits that very well, however it has a slow build, remains rather low key and intimate, but still projects well for the first hour. Its mature, not trying to do too much and smells rich and inviting. I don't get much of the coconut, and never have. Was testing blind in the store and coca and musk to me are the stand out notes sitting in a gentle bed of wood.

This is so unique and perfectly blended! A magnificent warm sandalwood overall with facets of cacao, musk, and coconut, all playing together in harmony to create a soft and cozy fragrance with just a little bit of cakey sweetness. Airy and musky in the drydown. This isn't cloying or overly sweet at all - it is perfect!! No pickle smell that you can sometimes get with sandalwood. This and Milky Musk are two of my absolute favorite scents ever - both gorgeous sandalwoods from Parle Moi!! 10/10

Upon first testing in the store I didn’t like it, or I should rather say it did not leave any impression at all. But after ordering a sample and testing some more I have really grown to love it. It is a sweet, warm, creamy, powdery sandalwood with coconut, in the same vein as JHAG Sunny Side Up and City Rhythm Miami. It stands out because of the light almond and bitter cocoa touch. I can imagine this to be very cozy in autumn and winter but at the same time warm and tropical in summer.

Milky Musk and Comete Paradis are for a Coconut loving couple going on vacation. But you ought to love modern Amber-Musks type of base. Milky Musk is less intense and more transparent, has something floral lurking around sometimes. Comete Paradis is more murky and has a really strong Patchouli character of its Amber-Musk base; it also lasts forever (do not put it on your clothes!). Do not have high hopes if you are a Sandalwood or Cacao lover. Dina_France (YouTube perfume reviews)

I tried Parle Moi's very popular Milky Musc but wasn't overly impressed so I was a little hesitant to try this one. It's not very often that a fragrance holds me in awe but Comète Paradis has me absolutely spellbound. I became immediately lost in the creamy sandalwood-coconut-cocoa butter scent. Although this is definitely a gourmand it's not overly sweet, just a perfect balance. I am definitely buying a full size of this.

People who says this smells like BR540 need to get their nose check. Seems like anything with a sweet ambroxan and molecular quality automatically gets compared to it. This is an inoffensive milky creamy woody lactonic airy scent with Ambroxan and molecular quality that is just to die for. It’s such a nice scent, if you love another 13, Blanche bete etc you will love this scent

Sweet, airy, ambroxan-y. Lovely for those who aren't bothered by modern molecular-type fragrances.

Nice cacao sweet cake but performance is terriable

This is a super comforting scent. Reminds me of a candle called Cashmere Woods I used to burn (more refined, of course). I love Milky Musk, and I agree with other commenters - this is like the deeper, slightly more gourmand version of Milky Musk. This is so well blended. The cacao and tonka are wonderful here; neither is too overbearing. Another lovely scent from the house.

A lovely milky coconut - wee bits of chocolate too. The tonka comes on a bit bitter to me and am not so sure about it. But whatever... carry on... I suppose some musky tonka keeps things from being beachy. Overall still milky smooth, not too sweet at all. More cacao tobacco-tonka, but not really gourmand. Mildly woody. Unisex. Yeah I dig it. 4.5/5

Echoing what the person said about this one gaining popularity once it's discovered. It's very nice but something I'd easily get tired of. If you like BR540, Tribeca, Escapade gourmand, gourmand coquin, Tihota etc. you'll end up adoring this one!

Quite a sharp woody opening on a skin, suffocating even. It's light on a blotter. But on my skin sandalwood is the only thing I can smell for half an hour. It needs some time to become a softer sweet scent, which I really like.

This is a woody milky musk version of b540 dna. I enjoy it very much

Somehow, despite its listed notes, there’s a textural roughness to this fragrance—it surprises me since I was expecting something far creamier and smooth. On first test, Comète Paradis is immediately coconutty. I’m unsure if I’d call it a naturalistic coconut scent, but it makes me think of a discarded coconut shell left to dry out on hot sand. There’s a continual powderiness that I expect is the combined effect of coconut, cocoa, and a similarly dry sandalwood. All together, they amplify the impression of the coconut’s this exterior instead of its interior, subduing and distancing the iconic tropical fruit from any sort of oiled-up and suntanning beach bum vibe. When the sandalwood develops, it takes over almost entirely, with that textural coconut shrinking and softening as the fragrance plays out. Thankfully the dry sandalwood doesn’t bring any pickle notes to the beach scene. It’s not until dry down that it all blends together with tonka bean and musk and finally relaxes into a creamier scent profile that lingers close on the skin. It’s these two notes that lend some much needed softness to the fragrance, saving it from feeling too scratchy and dry. I could see this being an excellent fragrance for the colder months.
