The Beginning of Story... "I love books. When you open one it's exciting. You're about to discover something new or enter a different world," says Paul Smith. "One day I found myself sketching a bottle in the shape of a book." Paul Smith Story. The Intro: Dazzling notes of grapefruit, crisp bergamot and green ivy provide a succulent, lushly humid accord that provides contrast and invigorates the vetiver. The Climax: The story builds with sexy transparent jasmine and green rose notes, florals that are both provocatively different yet bring harmony to the blend. The Denouement: Modern musks, mineral amber and cedar wood all deepen the lasting impression of vetiver's masculine character. Paul Smith Story is clean, minimal and classic but with surprising elements providing the twist in this particular tale. Which is, after all, the hallmark of Paul Smith.
