The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2011 by Etro, Paisley is a fragrance that embodies the brand's signature Italian elegance and sophistication. The composition begins with a bright burst of bergamot and cassis, which gives way to cardamom and pink pepper, adding layers of warmth and spiciness. At its heart, ylang-ylang and jasmine sambac create a soft floral bouquet that is both delicate and captivating. Indonesian patchouli leaf and ambergris anchor the base with earthy richness and subtle sweetness.
Paisley captures the essence of Etro’s rich heritage in fabrics and design, where intricate patterns meet luxurious textures to evoke a sense of lasting elegance.
One or two sprays are sufficient to capture Paisley's full character. The spicy top notes fade within an hour but the floral and woody base notes linger, making it perfect for daytime wear when you want a subtle yet sophisticated scent.
