How to Smell Like an Episode of 'Emily in Paris': The Ultimate Guide to Main Character Energy
Whether you love the fashion, the drama, or simply hate-watch it for the clichés, there is no denying the cultural impact of Emily in Paris.
The show sells a fantasy: moving to a beautiful city, wearing bold outfits, and falling in love on the Seine. It is the ultimate "Main Character Energy."
But while we can't all quit our jobs to work at a marketing firm in Paris (Savoir, anyone?), we can certainly smell the part. I have curated 4 scents from Scent Lab 33 that perfectly capture the chaotic, romantic, and chic vibes of the show.
1. The "Emily Cooper" Vibe: Miss Paris
Inspired by: Coco Mademoiselle
Emily is ambitious, loud, and undeniably charming. She runs through the Place Vendôme in high heels and a pink beret. She needs a scent that screams "I have arrived."
Miss Paris is that scent. It is the quintessential modern Parisian fragrance. With sparkling Orange, elegant Rose, and a confident base of Patchouli, it is youthful yet sophisticated. It’s the scent you wear when you have a big pitch meeting and a dinner date on the same day.
2. The Weekend Getaway: Weekend in Normandy
Inspired by: Paris-Deauville
Remember when Emily visits Camille’s family chateau in Champagne? Or takes a trip to the coast? This is the scent of the French countryside.
Weekend in Normandy captures that effortless "Off-Duty" chic. It blends Green Basil with zesty Sicilian Orange. It smells like open-top convertibles, striped shirts, and fresh air. It is crisp, green, and incredibly expensive smelling.
3. The "Gabriel & Alfie" Dilemma: Paris Romance
Inspired by: Love Story
It wouldn't be Emily in Paris without the complicated love triangles. This scent is purely for the romantics. It is the olfactory equivalent of a kiss on the Pont des Arts bridge.
Paris Romance is a white floral dream. Dominated by Neroli and Orange Blossom, it is sweet, clean, and innocent. It smells like new love—exciting, fresh, and full of possibility.
4. The "Sylvie" Aesthetic: Rose of the City
Inspired by: Paris-Paris
While Emily is the star, we all secretly want to be Sylvie. She is the definition of French cool: effortless, intimidating, and timeless.
Rose of the City is for the woman who knows who she is. It is a spicy, airy Damask Rose mixed with Pink Pepper and Patchouli. It isn't sweet; it is chic. It smells like drinking espresso at a sidewalk café while wearing a black blazer. It is understated power.
Chloe’s Final Take
You don't need a plane ticket to experience the magic of the City of Lights. Whether you are feeling bold like Emily or chic like Sylvie, your scent can transport you there instantly.
