Astrophil & Stella Paris Cheri Extrait

Description

Paris Chéri is coffee and cacao softened with vanilla, a Paris café breakfast worn as an extrait. Astrophil & Stella launched it in 2021, composed by Nathalie Feisthauer, and the brand frames it around dawn over Montmartre: fading stars, first light on the rooftops, fresh pastries and cafés opening. Cardamom, cinnamon leaf, pink pepper and bergamot open it. Coffee, cacao, heliotrope, orris, lily of the valley and hedione form the heart, and vanilla, tonka, benzoin, labdanum, ambrette, ambroxan and cedar make a warm gourmand base.

Scent Character

Translation: a gourmand with backbone. Coffee, cacao, vanilla and tonka drive the sweetness, cedar and ambroxan add structure, and the small Rich Ambers share is benzoin and labdanum resin, not oud.

FAQ

Does Paris Chéri contain oud?
No. There is no oud in it. The resinous depth comes from benzoin and labdanum in the base.

Is it very sweet?
It is a gourmand, so yes, but the coffee's bitterness, the spices and the cedar stop it from turning sugary.

Is it men's or women's?
Unisex. Coffee and cacao read well on anyone, and the florals in the heart stay in the background.

How strong is the coffee?
Clear in the heart for the first few hours, then it melts into vanilla, tonka and benzoin.
