Notes behind the picks

Jul et Mad Paris Amour de Palazzo (Extrait de Parfum, 2012) reads as smoky leather and resin, spiced warm amber, opening on clove and nutmeg and drying down to amber, castoreum and musk. Jul et Mad Paris Stairway To Heaven (Extrait de Parfum, 2019) is described as clean powdery rose cream, bright citrus sparkle, with aldehydes and bergamot up top and white musk, ambroxan and cashmeran underneath. On Jul et Mad Paris Mon Seul Desir (Extrait de Parfum, 2017), expect spiced leather book, oud smoke in amber; it starts with nutmeg and pink pepper and settles on amber, leathery notes and benzoin.
