Astrophil & Stella Paris Cheri

Astrophil and Stella Paris Chéri by Olya Bar

A dawn so tender it feels like a secret shared between lovers, the first light of morning spilling over the storied rooftops of Montmartre, painting the cobblestone streets in hues of rose and gold. Tucked away in a hidden corner of Paris, far from the clamor of tourist-laden avenues, you find yourself in a quaint café, its windows fogged with the warmth of fresh viennoiseries. The air hums with the delicate scent of buttery croissants and the soft clink of porcelain cups, as you sit across from someone who makes your heart flutter—a gaze that lingers, a hand brushing yours, a moment suspended in time. This is the essence of Astrophil & Stella Paris Chéri, composed by Nathalie Feisthauer, a fragrance that wraps you in a cloud of sensual warmth. It’s as if Paris itself is whispering its most romantic secrets against your skin.

Astrophil & Stella Paris Chéri is a love letter to the city of light and the electricity of connection. The scent opens with an exuberant burst of coffee and cocoa, a vibrant nod to those unhurried mornings spent savoring coffee with a side of a delicious pastry in each other’s company. These notes dance with a sweet caress of vanilla, evoking the decadence of a stolen kiss under a Parisian street lamp. As the fragrance unfolds, spicy whispers of cinnamon leaf and cardamom oil weave through, adding a splash of intrigue—like the thrill of a late-night escapade through the city’s hidden alleys, laughter echoing off ancient stone walls. Orris nuances lend a buttery facet, reminiscent of a spontaneous run to a flower shop on the Île de la Cité, where you pick out velvety irises and delicate heliotropes to adorn a cozy apartment, their petals scattering across a table set for two.

The heart of Astrophil & Stella Paris Chéri pulses with intense woods and resin, grounding the fragrance in a sultry, almost primal depth. It’s the feeling of sinking into a lover’s embrace after a night of revelry, when the world fades away and all that remains is the heat of their skin, the rhythm of their breath. This is a scent that captures the paradox of Paris itself—effortlessly elegant yet thrillingly untamed, a city where every corner holds the promise of romance and rebellion. The brand, Astrophil & Stella, masters this duality, crafting compositions that are niche yet irresistibly wearable, complex yet instantly captivating. Their creations, like Paris Chéri, stand apart in a crowded market, offering a narrative that feels both timeless and daringly original.

I picture a mood after a night of dancing in a dimly lit Montparnasse club, where jazz notes and whispered promises linger in the air. You slip away as dawn breaks, hand in hand, with no agenda but to savor each other. The day unfolds in a haze of indulgence: a leisurely coffee at a sidewalk bistro, the barista’s knowing smile as you lean closer; a stroll through a bustling market, where the scent of fresh blooms mingles with the crisp morning air; and finally, a takeout dinner from a tiny brasserie, savored in the glow of candlelight as you curl up together, time stretching into eternity. Astrophil & Stella Paris Chéri bottles this magic—a fragrance that feels like falling in love, not just with another, but with life itself.

  • Olya’s review made Paris Chéri feel like a fragrance woven from memories — tender, intimate, and beautifully cinematic. I was especially drawn to how she described the blend of coffee, cocoa, and vanilla as a moment shared between lovers at a quiet Parisian café. The mix of spice, orris, and heliotrope adds a dreamy richness that makes me think of stolen moments and soft mornings after sleepless nights. It sounds like a scent that captures not just love, but the feeling of being deeply present with someone. I live in France, and I would love to experience this fragrant love letter to Paris.

  • Nicole Theo says:

    Love the description of how the fragrance really captures Paris! I live in MA, USA.

  • Melissa K says:

    Having never heard of this before, I had to Google this fragrance for more reviews because it sounded to good to be true. Resinous, vanilla, with a chocolate kiss. Kentucky USA

  • The promise of romance and rebellion. That could be the title of my autobiography. I want to fall in love with this fragrance. I may never make it to Paris so this fragrance might be as close as I ever get. Spicy cinnamon cardamom coffee transitioning to woody orris transitioning to resinous vanilla benzoin tonka sounds utterly divine. I very much want to experience this house and hope I can very soon. I’m in the USA.

  • This perfume sounds so beautiful and I would love to smell it and most likely would want to own it. However, I know I won’t win it as I have never won anything. I take after me Dad (long deceased) who also never won anything in his life except he did win my Mother’s hand in marriage.

  • I love the idea of coffee and pastry in Paris. Even though Coffee and Pastry in Pasadena is my more likely future..

  • Ramses Perez says:

    Parisian perfumery has always been at the forefront of fragrances. I’m getting a gourmand and fizzy vibe with this fragrance which may be a first in the Astrophil & Stella catalogue. Imagine having a patisserie on an afternoon in Paris paired with coffee or a hot chocolate. A true staple of Parisian culture and immersing yourself in a world of possibilities. What an amazing release and review by Olya. I’m located in the USA.

  • This Olya’s review transported me straight to a quiet, pink-tinged morning in Paris. I can smell the buttery croissants, feel the steam curling from a porcelain cup, and imagine that lazy, electric moment of eye contact in a tiny café. The way Olya describes the mix of cocoa, coffee, and cardamom with a sultry wood-and-resin base makes me think of waking up tangled in hotel sheets after a long night out—intimate, a little reckless, and totally unforgettable. It’s rare that a fragrance feels like a whole storyline, but Paris Chéri seems to do just that.

  • FragranceFrenzyS says:

    Oh wow, this sounds like a full-on Parisian romance in a bottle. I’m obsessed with scents that can walk the line between comfort and intrigue, and the way this one is described—coffee and cocoa in the morning light, then spice, orris, and those deeper resins by night—is just everything I want. That tension between elegance and wildness is so seductive. And honestly, the way Olya writes about it makes me want to go kiss someone under a streetlamp in Montmartre just to match the mood.

  • Lastochka says:

    This review gave me goosebumps. Not kidding. The perfume sounds like a love affair with Paris itself—rich with texture and emotion. That part about velvety irises from a flower shop on Île de la Cité? I could smell it. I could feel it. The warm haze of jazz clubs, the market stalls, the candlelit dinners—it’s all so vividly romantic and tactile. If the scent delivers even half of what this review promises, I’m sold. Paris Chéri sounds like a perfume that lingers not just on the skin, but in the soul.

    I’m from the European Union.

  • AromaAdventurer says:

    Okay, but can we talk about how this sounds like the perfume version of falling hard for someone on a weekend trip to Paris? You meet at a party, stay up all night walking the city, share secrets over coffee, and before you know it—you’re planning your whole life around this feeling. The spices, the floral softness, and the deeper woods and ambers… it sounds dangerously addictive. I love how Olya captures the unspoken heat behind all that Parisian charm.

    Greetings from the EU.

  • LindenNoir says:

    I honestly wasn’t expecting to feel so much reading about a perfume. But Olya’s description of Paris Chéri feels like an old film reel from the French New Wave grainy, poetic, soaked in memory. I love how the fragrance is built like a love story: sweet beginnings (coffee, vanilla), tension and thrill (cardamom, cinnamon), and then grounding warmth (resins, woods, ambrette). It’s not just a scent, it’s a life lived. That’s niche perfumery at its best.

    I live in the EU.

  • I really like the description and want to try this perfume a lot.

    What really stood out to me from Olya’s review is how Paris Chéri seems to capture those soft, magical moments in Paris.

    I’m based in the EU.

  • Patricia Douglass says:

    What strikes me most about Astrophil & Stella Paris Chéri, based on Olya’s review, is the way it captures intimacy without losing its boldness. It doesn’t shy away from richness—coffee, cocoa, cardamom—but wraps it in warmth and depth, like the quiet closeness after a wild night. It feels like a love letter not just to a person, but to the small, sensory moments that make life unforgettable. I live in Forest Park, IL.

  • Overall, Paris Chéri strikes me as a beautifully crafted, evocative fragrance that balances simplicity with depth, capturing the romantic spirit of Paris while appealing to a wide audience through its gourmand and floral charm. I live in Poland, EU.

  • I read all of the comments and agree with them completely.
    When the first bottle of Paris Chéri sold within minutes after being put on display, we knew it was a winner.

    Thank you, @cafleurebonofficial, for presenting it and thank you, @astrophilstellaperfume and @nathaliefeisthauer, for creating it.

  • The description of this fragrance as a lovers night of enjoyment, coffee, and pastry is such a reminder of the intimate moments we must savor in life. These sweet reminders are of times places and invocation of memories is why I love perfumery. Live in the US. Good luck to all

  • teatreesoil says:

    the profile seems a bit all over, something like a spicy fleurmand, but olya’s writing is very evocative and helps tie together the notes to its city of inspiration! i actually appreciate that the perfumer nathalie feisthauer didn’t go with tobacco/boozy notes, which i commonly see with “paris” fragrances. this one looks interesting!!

    thanks from USA 🙂

  • roxhas1cat says:

    My BFF is going to Paris this summer for her big 60th b day. I’d love to win this and gift it to her to wear on her trip. I like that this is timeless and original in a daring sort of way. I love that this bottles love of life in a bottle. Thanks for the chance to win this beauty. USA.

  • We all can use a little romance in our life. This sounds like romance in a bottle! All the bits of spices and lovely florals and just the right intrigues such as coffee and pink berries. I would love to have this one!! I am located in the U.S. thank you!

  • Kensolfactoryodyssey says:

    Olya’s review of Paris Chéri reads like a love story wrapped in velvet—tender, sensual, and quietly spellbinding. What strikes me most is the way this fragrance seems to capture both the hush of dawn and the heat of connection, like a whispered “je t’aime” lingering in the air. The interplay of coffee, cocoa, orris, and cardamom sounds utterly delicious—a gourmand with the soul of a poet. I can almost smell the buttery croissants and feel the worn wooden café chair beneath me. Nathalie Feisthauer has created a perfume that seems to hold not just notes, but moments. I live in the USA, and I’d be so honored to experience this bottled romance in real life

  • Shibuichi2000 says:

    Paris Chéri comes across as a “fleurmand”—a floral-gourmand hybrid—but with more story and nuance than typical sweet perfumes. It sounds at once cozy and seductive, nostalgic yet moder, with complexity and evolution.
    I’m imagining it to be like a cinematic Paris love story—rich, layered, and sensorial (like all the Astrophil & Stella scents I’ve had the pleasure of testing/wearing).
    I’m in EU.

  • wonderscent.mari says:

    Wow, what a beautiful review! It truly transported me to a cozy Parisian café and having romantic moments. This review made me crave pastries and coffee so badly! I enjoyed the description of the scent and how absolutely heavenly those notes of Coffee, Cacao, Cardamom, Cinnamon, being transporting to more Lactonic facets, while Orris giving this buttery moment and holding a bouquet of powdered flowers and transported into the intense woody resin notes giving more depth to a composition that seem to be quite intriguing…
    The way the review paints it, it’s more than just a perfume, it’s an ULTIMATE mood, its warm, sweet, relaxed, chic, an unforgettable romantism in a bottle!
    Thank you Astrophil Stella, Cafleurebon & Olya Bar, for the generosity and the captivating review! I am new to this house. From EU

  • Sorohan Adriana says:

    Wonderful review! I need this coffee-scented bottle on a patio full of fresh flowers mingling with the crisp morning air! I am from EU

  • This description is very poetic, but it’s difficult to understand exactly what the fragrance smells like. There are a lot of metaphors—like ‘a stolen kiss under a streetlamp’ or ‘Paris whispering secrets’—which sound nice, but don’t really help me imagine the scent itself.

    Still, I can tell Karl really loves this perfume, and it might be worth smelling if I come across it in a shop. I’d just want to test it first to make sure it doesn’t trigger sensory overload.

  • The notes are simply amazing and the nose behind the fragrance is my favorite woman in perfumery Nathalie Feisthauer, so I know this will be amazing.
    What caught my attention in Olya’s review is the observation she made: “This is a scent that captures the paradox of Paris itself—effortlessly elegant yet thrillingly untamed, a city where every corner holds the promise of romance and rebellion.”

  • absurdnose says:

    What a journey! It really seems that this fragrance entices a mood and an emotional journey through a wonderful day. I’ve noticed many gourmands recently leaning towards this cafe trend and I love that. Who wouldn’t want to savor an indulgent moment such as this? I’m curious to try it. I live in the USA.

  • Astrophil & Stella’s Paris Chéri evokes the feeling of a dreamy day in Paris after a night of dancing—jazz lingering in the air, shared glances at a café, strolls through flower-scented markets, and quiet moments by candlelight. It’s more than a fragrance; it’s the sensation of falling in love—not just with someone, but with life itself.

    EU

  • I really like the vivid description of this lovely composition. It has many rich and budding facets that make it sound like a well rounded stand out. Orris is a complimentary note and is a welcome addition to most scents. The rich resins and honeyed base grounds it and also gives it legs adding body and depth to the fragrance front to back. Would hope to win, from Jacksonville, NC.

  • Jenna Park says:

    Paris Cheri sounds really beautiful. Paris is an amazing city and if a scent brings me back to that experience Im all in. The notes of cocoa coffee with the base notes of vanilla and tonka really fit the vibe of a quiet Paris Cafe. The inspiration of a Paris Cafe is what caught my interest first and made me want to read the reviews but the notes are what makes me eager to try. Im in Pennsylvania USA.

  • Maastura bluesock says:

    Ohh a scent with Bergamot and Cardamon! Along with Tonka a bean sounds so good. It looks like a gourmand scent but it’s interesting to envoke the streets of Paris and cafes. I like a rebel niche scent , it truly sounds daring. I would like to enter the giveaway, I’m in Florida US.

  • I’ve always wanted to see Paris and sip coffee at a bistro…so romantical. MI USA

  • One of the great pleasures of Paris is waking up early in the morning, heading to the local bakery, buying your favorite viennoiserie, returning home, making your coffee of choice, and enjoying a leisurely breakfast. Mme. Feisthauer offers us the fragrance that captures this sensation, building it around vanilla. First, a sip of coffee and cocoa, followed by the intoxicating smell of the pastry shop’s freshly baked goods (buttery, spicy, vanillic). It ends with a shading sweet amber accord (labdanum, benzoin, tonka bean). Beautiful for flowery gourmand lovers! I live in Spain, EU.

  • I love the idea of a fragrance capturing a Parisian cafe — the opening of coffee and mocha, the foundation of woods reflecting the old chairs and bar, with wafts of florals as though the fragrance of blooms in the nearby streets and window beds is drifting in on the breeze! I am in USA.

  • Eris.can.swatch.kaos says:

    I want to wear something that feels like falling in love in Paris, a place I can only dream of visiting. My heart yearns for this fragrance, the notes dance in my mind like laughter, and I want to experience the love described here. Thank you for the beautiful review. I live in Oregon.

  • Since I read chromodoro’s review this brand has been on my radar. Great description of Paris Cheri too. I love it when a review manages to blend the narrative with the perfume notes seamlessly and strikes that perfect balance between the technical and the poetic. Paris Cheri comes across as an urban gourmand and sounds worth seeking out.
    EU reader here.

  • Astrophil and Stella’s Paris Cheri sounds like the most elegant gourmand to be experienced at a chic Parisian cafe. A spiced coffee with spring flowers and vanilla soaked woods is an effortless ode to the city of lights. It doesn’t sound too sweet which I appreciate. MD, USA.

  • minteacup says:

    Love Olya’s multisensory description of a dream Parisian cafe. A big part of perfume’s draw is the ambiance it creates, the opportunity to draw up a deep memory or escape into a pure fantasy. In the case of Paris Cheri, for me it would be mostly fantasy, as I have never been to France and in fact rarely indulge in coffee as more of a tea person. But I’ve tried a couple of scents in this subgenre, of spiced coffee fantasies couched in fleurmand delights. This rendition from Astrophil & Stella sounds positively magical. I am in the USA, thank you for the delightful review and the draw. It’s a little moment to daydream.

  • It’s always interesting to see how perfumers interpret the cuppa-in-Paris fragrance through spice, florals, and warm fixatives. Astrophil and Stella Paris Chéri stands out for its ” intense woods and resin, grounding the fragrance in a sultry, almost primal depth”. This aspect makes the gourmand imagery part of a larger, more complex theme. It also sounds heady.

    I’m in the USA.

  • ElenaChiss says:

    Lots and lots of notes and one has definitely caught my attention: cinnamon leaf! Never tried anything with it! I am very curious about Paris Cheri. Thanks! EU

  • What captivates me in Olya’s review of Paris Chéri is the vivid portrayal of a Parisian morning—the aroma of fresh viennoiseries, the warmth of a quaint café, and the tender moments shared between lovers. The fragrance’s composition, featuring notes of coffee, cocoa, vanilla, cinnamon, and cardamom, evokes the indulgence of a leisurely breakfast in Montmartre. The addition of orris and heliotrope introduces a floral nuance, reminiscent of a spontaneous visit to a flower shop on the Île de la Cité. As the scent unfolds, the grounding presence of woods and resin mirrors the depth of a romantic connection, encapsulating the essence of Parisian elegance and passion.
    I’m from EU, Romania.

  • Olya really transported my thoughts to a cozy little cafe in Paris. The warmth of a nice, quiet place on an autumn afternoon, the scent of coffee, cocoa and pastries wafting in the air. What I find most promising about Paris Cheri is that it doesn’t seem to be a full-on gourmand, but the evolution with the iris, orris and heliotrope notes and the woody and the depth given by woods and resins seem to complete it into a more profound, multi-faceted fragrance.
    Thanks from the EU.

  • So many beautiful notes – coffee, cocoa, cinnamon, tonka, vanilla – sounds absolutely heavenly!

    I live in the US.

  • Lovely review from Olya and beautiful perfume from Astrophil & Stella. I’ve had the chance to test this one from a small decant and it was such a beautiful experience, also the name of the perfume fits perfectly. I would love to win a full bottle of it, thanks for the chance, i’m from the EU.

  • This perfume (which I had never heard of) sounds like so many of my favorite notes. I don’t like sugary sweet gourmands, but this is the kind of deliciousness I can enjoy wearing. Thank you for the review! I’m in the USA

  • wallygator88 says:

    Thanks for the lovely imagery Olya.
    Really enjoyed the progression of this fragrance from coffee & cocoa to spices and then finally rest and relaxation.

    Would love to try this.
