Paris Amour from BBW-the new limited edition trio

I like Paris Amour so I was curious to try the three new scents. So, to the best of my recollection, here goes:
Paris in Bloom-if Love, Love, Love(I really can't stand this name) and Paris Amour had a baby, it would be Paris in Bloom. This is the most "meh" out of all three scents. Notes listed:
  • Top Notes: Sparkling Grapefruit, Crisp Apple, Dewy Pear, Wild Red Berries
  • Mid Notes: Lily of the Valley, Peony Petals
  • Dry Notes: Vanilla Orchid, Cashmere Woods, Velvety Musk

  • Paris Nights-this is deeper, darker and muskier version of Paris Amour. I liked it. This one has potential. Notes listed:
  • Top Notes: Bergamot Italian, Camellia, Fresh Dewberry, Clementine, Waterlily
  • Mid Notes: Quince, Red Rose, Wild Orchid, Night Blooming Jasmine, Blueberry Blossom, Purple Freesia
  • Dry Notes: Patchouli Leaf, Sandalwood, Amber, Vanilla, Mahogany Wood

  • Sweet on Paris-this one is a lot sweeter and candy like than original. Out of all three, Sweet on Paris was my favorite. The interesting part is that drydown smelled just like Pink Sugar. I was considering buying that one but it doesn't come in ear de toilette, only in body sprays(which I usually avoid because of poor lasting power) so I didn't get it. Notes listed:
  • Top Notes: Sparkling Tangerine, Raspberry Kir, Luscious Blackberry, Lemon Meringue
  • Mid Notes: Jasmine Macaroon, Apricot, Pink Peony, Juicy Nectarine
  • Dry Notes: Sugared musk, Pink Marshmallow, Creamy Sandalwood, Vanilla Infusion

  • Incidentally, they also released limited edition Paris Amour bottle which is SO cute and girly. I already have Paris Amour edt so I didn't want to get another bottle but its so MUCH cuter than the original!

    By the way, speaking of smelling like cotton candy scents-I like smelling like cotton candy but I don't wear Pink Sugar(I am sure EVERYONE knows what that smells like). I wear something called Delicious Cotton Candy by Gayle Hayman which I got for $12 at TJ Maxx. If you check fragrance boards, you will see that LOT of ladies like this one because its smells more like cotton candy than Pink Sugar, lasts longer and cheap as dirt. Try it!

    1. Out of them all, Sweet on Paris was my favourite also. I had to purchase a small bottle despite having a lot of body lotion.
