I’ve been wearing silk scarves for forty years, influenced by my elegant French colleagues years ago. I just love the look of them, plus they protect my sensitive neck from itchy cashmere and Merino wool in winter - everything bothers my skin.
My impressions of stylish Parisian women begins with the hair. Older women have good haircuts and flattering colors. If they have grey hair then it is often silver or white. Or if they color it, they have regular touch-ups so that you seldom see sharply contrasting roots. When I visited Paris, with women from all over the world, you could identify French women by their use of scarves and wearing heels. Sure, you could see ballet flats or loafers but only tourists prefer athletic footwear or sandals that look good on gladiators. As an American, I am ashamed of how sloppily we dress. So many fashion influencers tout the comfort of garments as if everything should fit like a warm-up suit. I’m not in favor of bullet bras and corsets but bra straps and thongs are not outerwear.
I have worn Samsara by Guerlain for decades but it has been changed somehow. The scent doesn’t last and doesn’t have that rich deep scent anymore. If anyone has a suggestion for a new scent I’d love to hear it!
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! Fragrance is SO important. My Dad swore by it. Always bought him Concerto by Fragonard when in Paris for work. My signature is the parfum Eau D'Hadrien by Goutal. I love many fragrances (including England's original Yardley's Lavender cologne - not the new version) but this Goutal is definitely my signature. Warmest wishes from Northern California ❤🤍💙
I am a versatile character, my likes of perfumes differ: Elisabeth Arden Pretty, Versace Red Jeans, Guess Seductive, Cacharel Eden, Zara Twilight and a good old Yardley English Rose .... btw love both video, Italian and French, however my style has to adapt to living in the hot hot small country of Suriname...
Nothing like Samsara! Can’t find anything to top nor replace Samsara …🤷♀️ I’m in the same predicament! Try to find the ‘ruby red bottle’ (original)at duty free stores …
In Paris, those women stand out either on street level, at restaurants, or in tourist venues with their deep cut shirts or blouses with heavily male up face, messed up straggly hair, and loud talking and exaggerated laughters are American women. They stand out and people can identify them as Americans. Accurately. French women, even fashionable places in Paris, they keep their make up minimum, clad themselves with classic looks as this footage shows.
Every one effortlessly chic in Paris ? You did not take the metro !!! Chanel in every French wardrobe ? You must be dreaming of a place where you have never been…
I always loved Coco Chanel , she always epitomizes the French chic style for me❤
Natural-fiber fabrics/materials and classic styled forever!
Styles, not styled, typo.
French women are so stylish! Thank you for the tips ❤
Bravo again.❤

Dune by Dior, a wonderful scent. Smells like French beaches.
I would add one should find their signature scent palette.
Channel and Dior..
❤❤❤
Chanel, not Channel !!!
👍
I always loved Coco Mademoiselle but I wonder if sticking to the same fragrance dates you
