Two new men are becoming faces of fragrances: Fendi wil... Go
Italian fashion-and-fragrance house Etro presents Paisley, a spicy floriental inspired by the pattern of the same name, ‘Paisley is a signatur feature for the house of Etro.’ The pattern, which is thousands of years old and can be found on cashmere shawls, is based on a small, sinuous leaf. In ancient Mesopotamia, it was used to represent the bud of a date palm, a.k.a. the Tree of Life, as it provided both food and shelter, Etro explains. Paisley is intended for a clientele that ‘knows how to combine modern innovation with olfactory traditions from around the world.’
Paisley opens with notes of bergamot, cardamom and cassis. The heart blends jasmine and ylang- ylang, and is spiced up with pink pepper. The oriental dry-down combines vanilla, patchouli and ambergris.
Eau de Parfum 1.7 and 3.4 oz.
The house’s signature bottle has been covered with a black paisley pattern.
I've had a chance to try this on my skin now. Sorry, no cashmere in this. It's a 100% acrylic scent, slightly shrill and jarring, feels very synthetic, downgraded to two stars. There are much nicer Etro fragrances out there. More
