Par Amour
by Clarins
Par Amour by Clarins is a soft, elegant woody-rose fragrance with a delicate balance of sweet amber, pink pepper, and cardamom. The opening features a fresh, slightly fruity blackcurrant and spicy pink pepper, leading to a dewy, green rose heart enhanced by sandalwood and benzoin. The base unfolds into a warm, soft amber and vanilla-tinged musk with subtle woody depth. It is a quietly confident scent that carries a distinct elegance—approachable yet subtly sensual. The fragrance feels timeless and poised, radiating a soft warmth that lingers without overwhelming. It's best suited for day wear, particularly spring and autumn, where its subtle sillage and moderate longevity offer a light, personal aura rather than a bold statement. It’s ideal for those seeking a refined, inoffensive scent that feels intimate yet sophisticated—especially those who appreciate a rose-based composition with a woody, peppery undercurrent rather than a flamboyant floral bomb.
