We’ve so eagerly anticipated the arrival of Season 4 of Emily in Paris, and now it’s here, the excitement is palpable. As are the perfumes we’re matching the characters to! If you’re new to this perfumed-pairing lark, do have a look back at some of our previous posts (including the earlier season 3 of Emily in Paris), where we match characters to the scents we feel best evoke their personalities.
This season is aired in two parts – the first section of episodes available now, the second half launching September 12. Meanwhile, we promise there are NO SPOILERS for the fourth season in our scent-matching feature, below. But what tantalising teasers DO we know about what’s to come…?
The fourth season of Emily in Paris promises to whisk us away on an enchanting journey through the French Alps and the picturesque piazzas of Rome, all while delving deeper into the delightful chaos of Emily Cooper’s life. With her signature blend of charm and misadventure, Emily (played by Lily Collins) continues to navigate the complexities of love, friendship, and career in the City of Light (and fragrance!)
For a full run-down of what’s happened, and what we can expect the fourth season to concentrate on, see the excellent round-up on forbes.com – but if you’ve not finished Season Three yet (and if so, what have you been doing for the last year and a half?!) there ARE spoilers about where we were left, last time.
During a *Tudum fan event in São Paulo, Brazil, actress Lily Collins shared some exciting insights about the upcoming Season 4 of “Emily in Paris.” Collins hinted that the new season will feature more excitement, fashion, and drama. She also mentioned that Emily will be navigating her life in Paris, facing decisions about her desires versus her needs. The season promises unexpected twists, and viewers might even see Emily on a Roman holiday.

Emily Cooper – DKNY 24/7
She may have been a Chicago gal in Paris for some time now, but we think she needs the spirit of ‘the city that never sleeps’ with her in scented form. She’ll certainly need to use every hour of the day to untangle her love-life, and this new perfume pulsates with unstoppable energy. A fizz of of pink pepper and rhubarb mirrors her adventurous nature, refreshing quince and romantic rose reflect her multifaceted personality, while the textural floral / woody profile encapsulates her journey of self-discovery and ability to navigate the complexities of life.

Camille – EAU.MG Diaphanous Delight
Like Camille’s evolving character this season, this unfolds with a delicate balance of strength and grace. The fragrance’s woody floral musk composition mirrors her artistic sensibility and refined tastes. Its waterlily note would undoubtedly transport Camille to Monet’s ethereal garden, a source of solace for her, and resonating with her own artistic soul. Embodying Camille’s journey from newfound self-assurance and impulsive decisions, to her need for comfort and reassurance, this is one to wear when the world seems to be spinning too fast.

Alfie – Marc-Antoine Barrois B683
B683 captures Alfie’s cheekiness and insouciant style. Opening with a subtle spiciness that mirrors Alfie’s witty banter, while the woody undertones reflect his grounded nature and professional ambition.As the scent develops, the leather notes emerge, emboldening Alfie’s suave confidence and aiding his ability to navigate both the corporate world and romantic entanglements. B683’s unique signature and remarkable longevity would ensure Alfie leaves a lasting impression: in business settings and (perhaps?) Emily’s heart…

Mindy – Maison Margiela Replica Jazz Club
Echoing Mindy’s fun but feisty character, this fragrance exudes depth, the sassy blend of rum, tobacco, and vanilla balancing her aspirations as a singer with her role as a supportive friend to Emily. There’s a real sense of comfort and approachability, too, in the smoothness that hugs your skin as it warms; and along with the spicy and woody notes wearing this creates a bold scent profile. Jazz Club is a scent which reflects Mindy’s confident demeanour, kindness, (and her willingness to take risks in pursuit of her dreams).
