In this week’s episode of the podcast, we’re picking perfect perfumes for the cast of Emily in Paris (well, Rome when season 5 begins). As the show progresses we see all manner of complicated liaisons, along with a general theme of growth, glamour, ambition, & escapism. Here’s how we’d scent it!

Suzy suspects the fictional house of Muratorio in the show takes inspiration from Brunello Cucinelli. The designer set out to reinvent Italian luxury, marrying craft with conscience. Based in Solomeo, the restored Umbrian village now stands as the heart of his brand — a symbol of beauty, ethics, & enduring craftsmanship.

To properly scent the cashmere house of Muratori, Suzy chose: @brunellocucinelli_brand Pour Femme

A crisp Umbrian morning, bottled: citrus & spice over creamy chestnut, woods & musk atop a chicly paired-back but supremely soft cashmere embrace.

Marcello Muratori

Suzy: @brunellocucinelli_brand Pour Homme

Bright spiced citrus evokes Umbrian countryside air, warming into woody, resinous, balsamic notes & a handsomely smooth, amber-y dry down.

Nicola: @acquadiparma Colonia Essenza

Sparkling lemon, orange, bergamot and grapefruit over polished-wood woods; a vibrant, woody-citrus twist on the iconic Colonia – effortlessly elegant.

Emily

Suzy: @ormondejayne Gelsomino A Freddo Ambrosia Extrait

An iconic Italian house showing its elegantly addictive side via cardamom & lemon over jasmine enfleurage, black tea & myrrh melting into sweet, creamy woods.

Nicola: @cartier La Panthére eau de parfum

Utterly confident & chic: luminous gardenia wrapped in velvety musks & chypre notes, a feline-floral aura with unmistakable poise.

Mindy

Suzy: @grittifragrances Duchessa

Dark cherry, bitter orange and saffron swirl with chocolate, jasmine & brown sugar for a fun, more-ish gourmand radiating plush hedonism.

Nicola: @thameen.london Centre Stage

A spotlit cabaret fantasy of orange blossom, lavender and cardamom, grounded by leather & animalic nuances for a provocative trail.

@ormondejayne Sybarite

For the life & soul of the party, pink and Timur peppers, hazelnut & jasmine sashay over vanilla, labdanum, smoked woods & musk, pulsing sensorially.

Alfie

Suzy: @gallivant.stories London

Urbanite spring floral leather: rose, cucumber & violet leaf over sandalwood, patchouli, cedar & worn-leather nuances with a twinkle in its eye.

Nicola: @experimentalperfumeclub Cardamom Moss

Cool & sizzling spices collide: ginger, turmeric, cardamom & cinnamon on an Ambroxan/moss base, with salty woods, tobacco & powdery musks.

Sylvie

Nicola: @maisonfranciskurkdjian Grand Soir

An amber evening glow: labdanum, lavandin & cinnamon leaf melting into sumptuous amber-vanilla & benzoin, dressed-up & impeccably sensual.

Suzy: @goutalparis Ninfeo Mio eau de toilette

A proudly Parisian take on Italy: juicy citrus & green fig conjuring a lush, sunlit garden near Rome - leafy, sparkling & transportive.
