40 days and 40 Nights of Beauty Cult Classics
Day 13 , Monyette Paris



I was introduced to Monyette Paris by Impishnature on MUA. "Imp" was one of my favorite muaers. She had magnificent taste in all things and was just so damn cool.
So when she started raving over a gardenia scent, I knew it was extraordinary and worth caving on. It had to be an exquisite white floral to capture the heart of my incense sister.



Monyette Paris is a perfume oil inspired by the tropical air in Polynesia and the South Pacific. The notes are Tahitian gardenia, French muguet du bois, vanilla orchid, nag champa and incense. I have never visited Belize but this is what I always imagined the air to smell like. Like a small piece of heaven!


Luckyscent and La Creme Beauty both offer the roller bottle. I managed to score a handpainted bottle ions ago on Luckyscent. I do not remember the price or any details other than the bottle quickly sold out. It came in a little fabric box and has a cork stopper. I keep it in a drawer and never let it see the light of day.









It is available at La Creme Beauty
for $45

That is a LOVELY Monyette bottle! I am a huge fan of the scent and all its ancillary products. I don't think any other scent can make me think of Paris AND the beach simultaneously! Cheers, Sara

I received my Monyette Paris from a wonderful MUAer as well. She mixed the oil with a little perfumers alcohol to make it spritzable. Please understand that I usually can't wear gardenia because my skin turns it into cheap air freshener, and I dislike tropical scents in general, BUT, I can't say enough how much I love Monyette Paris! The incense keeps it grounded, and it smells like the most wonderful beach you could imagine. It's been a mini vacation in a bottle all winter.

I have a little sample (most likely from one of my sample-binges at Luckyscent!) that I have yet to try! As I've had a couple of sample-binges in the past, I've been going through and clearing out the ones I don't think I'll try, but I've definitely held onto my Monyette Paris. Since it's made the list, I'll make sure to give it a go soon!
