The Story
Paul Smith No. 12 is a crisp, modern fougère that feels like a fresh start. It opens with a burst of grapefruit and mint, then settles into a clean lavender and geranium heart. The base of cedar and musk keeps it grounded without being heavy. This is a versatile scent that works just as well in the office as it does on a weekend stroll.
