Basenote Bitch
Paloma Picasso by Paloma Picasso

Paloma Picasso by Paloma Picasso

Paloma Picasso’s self-titled fragrance is truly the perfect embodiment of its creator; a maximalist chypre for only bravest women. This is for the person who quite literally inspired YSL’s “Scandal Collection,” so you know it’s going to be a sexy ride. Should you choose to accept this glamour trip then you must pair the dank juice with one of two red lipsticks: either Revlon’s Certainly Red or Love That Red. Once you complete this task your best friends will suddenly be Isabella Rossellini and the ghost of Andy Warhol. You’ll drip European elegance with a sprinkle of Max’s Kansas City. Like Paloma herself, this perfume will cast you out of any shadow you were in, and establish you as the vampy bitch you are.

Top notes are carnation, coriander, rose, angelica, neroli, bergamot and Amalfi lemon; middle notes are patchouli, hyacinth, jasmine, ylang-ylang and mimosa; base notes are oak moss, civetta, castoreum, vetiver, sandalwood, amber and musk. In real life you will smell like a dynamic dove way cooler than your namesake.
