Comment: Sous le Toit de Paris is part of the Collection Les Exclusives
Sous le Toit de Paris is a sensual and rather pleasant offering, albeit not that groundbreaking.
Opening with candied orange peel and violet leaf, it's a sweet, airy and soapy creation, which rests on a clean leathery-musk base. Possessing a fleeting, yet piercing, geranium accord, there's also a subtle verdant leaning beneath all the floral sweetness. With a vanillic drydown, the tonka bean soon increases its presence but the vetiver remains largely inconspicuous.
As enchanting as it is, one would have preferred better performance on the skin. Regardless of this downside, it's certainly better than many of the non-exclusive releases from this niche house.
With very little sillage, its lasting power is around six hours.
