About Parfé No.16
Parfé No.16 is a feminine fragrance in an oil perfume format, created for those who appreciate a rich scent and a pronounced sillage.
The composition combines fruity, floral, green, gourmand, spicy, and woody nuances, unfolding in a multifaceted way and changing noticeably on the skin.
The fragrance is presented by the niche house Parfé — a young French brand founded in 2018.
Its aesthetic is built around minimalism, clean lines, and a conceptual approach to perfumery. Parfé No.16 continues this idea by combining familiar sensual accords with more unexpected green and spicy shades.
Character and development
From the very first moments, Parfé No.16 smells fresh and slightly spicy: angelica adds a green tartness, while pear softens it with juicy fruity sweetness.
This contrast makes the opening both airy and distinctive — the fragrance does not veer into simple fruitiness but immediately asserts its individuality.
Berries and jasmine emerge at the heart of the composition. The berry accord lends the scent a soft, alluring sweetness, while jasmine forms a feminine white-floral center.
Together, they create a smooth transition from the fresh opening to a denser, more sensual character.
In the base, Parfé No.16 becomes warmer and deeper.
Vanilla adds a creamy gourmand facet, white cedar supports the composition with a dry woody note, while cumin introduces a piquant nuance that keeps the finish from becoming too predictable.
Sillage and wearability
In terms of sillage, this is a very powerful fragrance.
The oil-based formula contributes to its dense, long-lasting performance, making Parfé No.16 particularly well suited to evening outings, special occasions, and cool weather, when rich compositions unfold at their most beautiful.
This is a fragrance with a noticeable presence: its fruity-floral softness gradually gives way to vanilla-woody depth.
In an office or a small enclosed space, it is best to apply it with caution.
Exact recommendations for the number of applications to the skin and clothing are not provided for Parfé No.16, so it is best to start with a minimal amount and add more later if necessary.
Who will enjoy Parfé No.16
Parfé No.16 will appeal to women looking not for a light everyday perfume, but for an expressive composition with character.
It can enhance a confident image, add sensuality, and leave behind a memorable trail.
In mood, the fragrance can be compared with Lancôme Poeme, Cerruti 1881 Pour Femme, and Escada Magnetism: these compositions also combine floral expressiveness, sweetness, and a pronounced feminine character.
At the same time, Parfé No.16 stands out with its oil-based concentration, spicy cumin, and green angelica facet, which give it a denser, more niche character.
