Paul Smith: I wanted to create a fragrance that bottled the spirit of optimism – that captured the youthful enthusiasm and energy I see around me every day. It’s about time that someone made a positive statement.

Paul Smith Optimistic for Her

A feminine fragrance that combines floral tenderness with a fruity top note. It is fun and yet familiar as well – exciting and yet somehow comforting, playful, yet decidedly feminine.

The ingredients are simple and youthful, designed to evoke a feeling of joyful pleasure and elegance.

Top notes – A colourful fragrance: Optimistic for Her is inspired by pink shades and fuses pink berries, pink grapefruit, juicy lychee and elegant sweet peas.

Heart notes – An upbeat fragrance: Optimistic for Her features energetic mandarin freshness twisted with the vitamin kick of cranberry and the soft but vibrant raspberry “macaroon” accord.

Dry down notes – An idiosyncratic fragrance: Optimistic for Her is unusual and full of character with its touch of orris and incorporation of distinctive patchouli.

Paul Smith Optimistic for Him

A masculine fragrance that combines an outdoorsy freshness with a sensuality that appeals to girls. Essentially it is a classic male fragrance in the Fougère (“fern-like”) family of scents, underpinned by a happy, seductive quality.

Top notes – An upbeat fragrance: Optimistic for Him has a vigorous and joyful impact with sparkling citrus and mysterious and exotic pepper and cardamom.

Heart notes – A fresh fragrance: Optimistic for Him gives an impression of virile marine freshness through its sage and geranium notes.

Dry down notes – A sensual fragrance: Optimistic for Him has a bottom that is warm, woody and seductive, with cedar, vetiver and amber.
