The Perfumist Ici ParisXL

The range is built around woody, sweet and vanilla accords. Cedar and vanilla appear throughout the fragrances, giving the compositions a warm and rounded character. Wearing something from this house tends to feel smooth and enveloping, with a gentle sweetness that sits close to the skin. The wood provides a steady, dry foundation that keeps the sugar from becoming too loud.

Bergamot and jasmine often turn up alongside the core materials, adding bright and floral touches that lift the heavier base. The citrus brings a fresh opening that gradually gives way to the creamy vanilla and cedar. White floral elements also appear, contributing a soft petal-like quality to the mix. Black Jack is one of the fragrances that carries this overall profile.
