Koto Parfums launched Shopping in Paris in 2015 — and it was a brilliant move. A feminine fragrance rooted in the wood, musk, and floral families. The fragrance is presented as eau de toilette.
Made in France, backed by a long and proud tradition. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance is very long-lasting, staying on the skin for 12 hours or more, gradually revealing its notes
The scent will linger in the air even after its wearer has left.
The perfume has a fresh scent that is not too intense, so it does not overwhelm those around you with strong essences
A light and elegant fragrance with harmonious richness—the perfect balance between the depth of eau de parfum and the freshness of cologne
Fragrances for spring and summer unfold with light citrus notes, floral and fruity accords, filling the composition with freshness, airiness, and a feeling of carefree lightness on warm days
The olfactory structure of Shopping in Paris evolves as a layered story, where accents shift smoothly and sequentially. The style of Koto Parfums is clear from the opening to the final trail. Every decision feels deliberate, and the structure feels complete all the way through. Eau de toilette emphasizes the depth and body this composition needs.
In a unified mixed pyramid the fragrance opens as a single chord with a pulsating fruity mood: Light woods, Lychee, Peony, Raspberry, Rose and musk. In this case 6 notes sound as one integrated frame, forming sweet sensation of summer nectar that feels seamless.
The deeper layers are felt as a gradual shift without abrupt breaks, which keeps the fragrance coherent.
The olfactory framework rests on these accords: Gourmet, Floral, Fruit and Musc forming a compact and readable structure. Background accords such as Wood enrich the profile without taking over.
From the group perspective the composition is built around Wood, Fruit, Floral and Musk. It also reaches into Whiteflower.
In summary Shopping in Paris holds a coherent structure — the opening sets direction, the central phase adds depth, and the final phase leaves a stable imprint. This is the type of composition best judged through real development.
