The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2015, No. 1 by Prudence Paris is a composition that weaves together warm spices and earthy woods into an intriguing olfactory blend. The fragrance opens with the brightness of bergamot and ylang-ylang, quickly enveloped by the warmth of cinnamon and cloves. At its heart, immortelle, rose, and jasmine introduce a delicate sweetness that is neither overpowering nor too subtle. As it settles, oakmoss and patchouli lend an earthy depth, while sandalwood and agarwood (oud) add a rich, woody base. This complexity makes No. 1 a fragrance for those who appreciate layers and nuance.

How to wear it

No. 1 blooms best when applied to pulse points — the wrists and neck — allowing the rich base notes to emerge gradually over time. Given its complexity, it's better suited for cooler evenings or indoor settings where its layers can be fully appreciated close to skin.
