Paris Sao Paulo Carven for women

Such a pity that this line is so overlooked... I own Mascate, Izmir and São Paulo and the quality is amazing on all of them! I would say São Paulo sits between Lattafa´s Khamrah and Brecourt´s Farah... spicier than the first, sweeter than the later… I don´t find it as well rounded as Angel´s Share or Ambre D´Alexandrie... to my nose, just as Farah and Khamrah, São Paulo has an initial blast of piercing spices (lots cinnamon for sure and cardamom) that almost makes me sneeze if I put my nose up too close to my wrist... and it sure is difficult to stop myself from doing it! Dry down comes with a reminder of Paris-Mascate´s dry amber. Sweet, resinous and long lasting. Addictive!

I own Angels Share and did own Khaltat Night. I'd say Sao Paulo smells more like Angels Share, but with a butteryness. I much prefer SP just because everyone wears AS. I don't know what in SP gives it that butter facet, but it keeps it from being too similar to AS and I honestly don't find it redundant to own both. AS lasts a bit longer on me, but I prefer SP. I don't know if this is discontinued because it was hard to track down.

Very sweet, boozy, spicy and quite heavy on cinnamon.

The fragrance is soft and pleasant, perhaps a tad too sweet and spicy for summer, but suitable for other seasons.

The longevity is incredible. I sprayed it yesterday around 5-6pm, and now it's 10:30am, and I can still smell it! Honestly, I like the dry down even better than the initial spray.

This spicy, sweet, silky, feminine smell is really stunning. The performance is exceptional, with extended life, good silage, and projection. The top notes are cinnamon, rum, and bergamot; the middle notes are cardamom, orange blossom, and labdanum; and the base notes are vanilla, tonka bean, and patchouli. Lovely cinnamon-y amber. One of my favourite inebriated fragrances has rapidly become one of my favourites. Totally wonderful. A tonka bean, cinnamon, vanilla, and vanilla bean liquor. This is ideal for the cold months. Precious

Ohh what a delight !!! A booze cinnamon, vanilla and tonka - it’s like Thanksgiving in the bottle! Love this - for winter only ..I think :))

Update! Simply can't get enough it ...Also it's layering incredibly with many frags..Deep Love !!!

This is simply divine! Very quick has become one of my favorite boozy fragrances…

Gorgeous cinnamon-y amber.

Oh my, FOR THE LOVE OF CINNAMON - This is Big Red Gum in perfume form. Love love love love love - spicy, sweet, smooth, feminine. SIMPLY DIVINE.

REVISED 1.5 yrs later - this is still my favorite fragrance!

Top notes reminds me of my Grandmother's sour cherry compote, that's all I can think about in the first minutes.

Cinnamon blast.

Cinnamon based blend with doses of tonka, vanilla, and slight booze. Lapdanum, and brown sugar are there as well and there is bits only of cardamom. I can detect orange blossom, patchouli, and sandalwood as well which gives the impression of a soft sweet leather.

I remember when i first sniffed the collection, this was firstly the most impressive one out of the whole line, and as it cools down it goes bit sweeter till it reaches the maximum sweetness where cinnamon become the dominant note. Nice.

• Essentialy rum equires for more rough, harshy and more sharp notes, but maybe it's a stereotype?
• As feminine rum scent it's good. Fresh bergamote, sweet(rock rose, orange blossom and tonka), I'd say juicy and fruity rum smthing like some rum coctail, that reminds of summer.
