Paloma Picasso Eau de Toilette 30ml is the iconic floral-chypre fragrance launched in 1984 by jewellery designer Paloma Picasso, daughter of the painter Pablo Picasso. Aldehydes, neroli and bergamot open over a heady floral heart of jasmine, rose and ylang-ylang, settling into a deep oakmoss, sandalwood, amber and civet base — bold, opulent and a defining scent of 1980s perfumery.
About Paloma Picasso
Paloma Picasso is a French-Spanish jewellery and fashion designer who launched her self-titled fragrance house in 1984 with the eponymous Paloma Picasso (also known as Mon Parfum). The brand carries its founder's distinctive sense of bold, sculptural luxury — and the Paloma Picasso fragrance has remained a continuous bestseller since launch.
Best for women who love classic 1980s floral-chypre fragrances with a powerful presence — wearers who appreciate moss, civet and warm florals over modern aquatic or fruity-floral compositions. Ideal for evening wear, special occasions and cooler-weather use, where the deep base notes develop fully.
How to wear it
Spray once or twice onto pulse points — wrists, neck and inside of the elbows — from roughly 15cm away.
Allow to dry naturally without rubbing the wrists.
Best applied 15-20 minutes before going out so the heart and base notes have time to settle.
Paloma Picasso projects strongly; one or two sprays is usually sufficient.
