Minotaure

Parfumour’s Interpretation of Paloma Picasso Minotaure

Minotaure is a warm aromatic woody scent, and our version keeps that character: a fresh herbal opening, a floral spiced heart, and a smooth woody base.

The Story Behind the Scent

Paloma Picasso created Minotaure as an elegant, aromatic masculine, pairing fresh herbs and fruit with a soft floral and a smooth, warm woody base.

Our interpretation follows that idea. We keep the bergamot and tarragon fresh up top, let rose, geranium and jasmine carry the middle, and finish on a smooth sandalwood, vetiver and amber base.

How Our Version Compares to the Original

The original is a designer classic. We build ours at a higher perfume oil concentration so the aromatic notes last longer, while keeping the same refined character.

Who It’s For

It suits men who want a smooth, elegant, classic aromatic scent for everyday wear.

Common Questions

How close is it to Paloma Picasso Minotaure?

It follows the warm, aromatic woody character of the original closely. It is our own interpretation rather than a copy, but the impression is very familiar.

Is it stronger than the original?

We build ours as an eau de parfum with a high perfume oil load, so most people find it projects and lasts as well as, or better than, the original release.

Is this the same perfume as Paloma Picasso Minotaure?

No. We do not use the same formula or ingredients. It is an independent interpretation made to evoke the same style, so you can enjoy the character at our price.

How long does it last?

You can expect several hours on skin. Spraying onto clothing as well as skin helps it last even longer.

Who is it best for?

It leans masculine and is ideal for everyday wear and cooler weather.

How should I apply it?

Spray on pulse points such as the wrists, neck and inner elbows. A light spritz on clothing makes it last through the day.
