While fall approaches with its crisp air and golden leaves, a bright, fruity Parisian fragrance remains an effortlessly chic scent choice, timeless, no matter the season. “Parisian fruit fragrances embody sophisticated restraint—not candy-sweet interpretations, but the elegant, nuanced way French perfumery treats natural ingredients,” says Noteworthy’s cofounder Ashley Boyce. “The genius lies in the balance of the scents, with fruit as the opening act, not the whole performance.”
YSL Beauty Mon Paris Eau de Parfum ($132)
A fruity-floral fragrance with red berries, this sweet scent—from one of the most iconic Parisian Heritage brands—is softened by datura flower and anchored by the woody scent of white musk blended beautifully together with patchouli.

With a September 1 release, this new fragrance combines crisp citrus and radiant orange blossom to evoke the timely freshness of Parisian mornings during Fashion Week.
n,470 Floating Garden Eau de Parfum ($139)
Reminiscent of the Berges de la Seine, this understated fragrance features apple, a Parisian favorite, with cooling aloe vera that’s grounded by the soft depth of hinoki wood.
