"Paloma Picasso" by Paloma Picasso Eau de Parfum is a sophisticated chypre—sparkling citrus and spicy greens blooming into lush florals over a deep, mossy-animalic base. Elegant, intense, and timeless.

The composition opens with aldehydic sparkle and zesty bergamot and lemon alongside coriander and angelica. A plush heart of hyacinth, jasmine, ylang-ylang, rose, and mimosa adds floral richness, settling into oakmoss, patchouli, sandalwood, vetiver, tobacco, and sensual musks (civet/castoreum) for a long-lasting, classic trail. (Launch year: 1984; floral-chypre pyramid corroborated by authoritative references.) 

Bottle Description: Iconic black-and-gold presentation with sculptural curves and a metal cap—striking, weighty, and instantly recognizable on the vanity.

At Perfumes LA, we recommend it for dressy evenings, cooler weather, and anyone who loves bold, elegant white-floral chypres with true vintage character.
