Carven has launched a new collection of 7 travel oriented fragrances: Paris-Bangalore, Paris-Seville, Paris-Izmir, Paris-Mascate, Paris-Manille, Paris-Sao Paulo and Paris-Florence.
Enthused by Madame Carven’s longstanding love of travelling, the new fragrance collection from the house captures seven olfactory journeys in seven singular, precious bottles.
Paris-Bangalore ~ "Paris-Bangalore is a hypnotic dance of clove leaves, a balance of Tolu balm and vanilla and the spell cast by sandalwood, tonka bean and amber."
Paris-Seville ~ "Paris-Seville proudly announces the colour of its scent with notes of bergamot and green mandarin. A flick of the fan releases neroli, virginia creeper and green tea leaves before they dissipate to leave a trail of white wood and musk."
Paris-Izmir ~ "Paris-Izmir is a riot of roses with assertive character and the perfect bridge between East and West. It rises with the freshness of bergamot and freesia notes, sails through the day accompanied by rose and myrrh, and then grows heady at nightfall with sandalwood, patchouli and benzoin."
Paris-Mascate ~ "Paris-Mascate is an oasis that delivers a moment of freshness in the suffocating city. Featuring a hushed breath of bitter orange and coriander, it’s an ode to Moroccan rose spiced with geranium and patchouli and the reassurance of tonka bean, amber and vanilla."
Paris-Manille ~ "Paris-Manille features carambola and pink pepper, the taste of plum and davana – all accented with patchouli and white musk."
Paris-Sao Paulo ~ "Paris-Sao Paulo feels like a colourful jungle where bergamot, rum and cinnamon intermingle, where cardamom seeds and rock rose grow in secret, where orange blossom flourishes and patchouli, tonka bean and vanilla ripen."
Paris-Florence ~ "Paris-Florence greets the nose with a 'ciao' of fresh magnolia flowers accented with blackcurrant. It has the sweetness of heliotrope flowers and the melancholy of sandalwood, Virginia cedarwood and myrrh."
Carven Paris-Bangalore, Paris-Seville, Paris-Izmir, Paris-Mascate, Paris-Manille, Paris-Sao Paulo and Paris-Florence are available now at Selfridges in the UK, £140 each for 100 ml Eau de Parfum.

Six in one go? I think the perfume companies are just saving advertising $$$s by launching multiples. I won’t go out of my way to seek these out,
Seven!
I’m sure these are well done but I can’t even pretend to care.
Yep.
These might be a multiple launch, but at least the inspirations sounds interesting and the executions as well. Im glad to finally see a fragrance inspired in Brazil which is not citrus, caipirinha or beach inspired. Tired of those cliches. Finally my city Sao Paulo is being represented <3
Congrats!
The description of Paris -Florence is mesmerizing, unfortunately the scent is cute, pretty, but not so complex…the heliotrophe dominates from the start, and drowns the myrrh, and pretty much we are left with a powdery sweet scent…agreed, it isn’t overdone, it has some freshness too…but for the price I paid, This fragrance is a HUGE regret ..
