Paul Smith Perfume for Women
A great British success story, Paul Smith's smart, cool clothes and idiosyncratic accessories have earned him a place in the front ranks of British fashion.
Born in Nottingham in 1946, Smith started as a gofer in a local clothing warehouse at the age of 18. In 1970, he opened his first shop with a few hundred pounds of savings and took evening classes in tailoring, gradually developing his own style. By 1976, he was playing consultant to an Italian shirt manufacturer and to the International Wool Secretariat. In the same year, he showed his first collections in Paris under the Paul Smith label.
Today Paul Smith Ltd boasts a chain of around 225 shops and concessions, 200 of which are in Japan, where Smith is a local celebrity. In May 1998, he won endless column inches and credit for introducing a new retail experience in his shop-in-a-house on Notting Hill's Kensington Park Road. And, although his company's annual turnover is over £100 million, it still manages to retain Smith's personal touch: a true man of the people, he advises and pilots each division himself, as well as finding time to oversee the running of the shops.
Smith was made a CBE in 1994 for services to the fashion industry and won a Queen's Award for Export the following year. To celebrate his 25th anniversary in fashion, London's Design Museum dedicated an exhibition to him, entitled Paul Smith True Brit. He was named Designer of the Year for four years running by the readers of GQ. On 24 November 2000, he was granted the ultimate honour, a knighthood and his wife's hand in marriage.

Paul Smith Woman isn't as special as I had hoped it would be , based on good reviews I had read about it. It's pleasant enough but smells like a lot of other perfumes and doesn't stand out to me. There's one note in it which I find a bit off-putting, maybe the green tea, and this seems to overwhelm the perfume so I can barely smell any of the other notes. There's also something a bit cheap smelling about it to me and I'd expect more from a designer perfume. I think it smells a bit like a cheap body spray, so it might appeal more to a teenager than to a more mature woman. I hope that this perfume grows on me and that I start to like it more because I bought a large bottle of it cheaply over the internet, but if it doesn't then I'm glad I didn't waste a lot of money on it! Either way, to me it's just an OK perfume but nothing special at all.

Honestly, this perfume is something special. I am a chef I have too many smells around me and this magnificent scent is always with me. Try it, you won't be disappointed.

I received this as a gift from a family member in a small mini bottle and from then on I have loved this fragrance, very soft floral scent.

I so wanted to like this one and bought it based on reviews. Awful. Did not smell any of the notes listed. Smelled so strongly of cedar...reminded me of hamster litter. It does last forever.
