Such a stunning, sparkly, grapefruit fragrances. Such an easy way, especially in the late spring and summer. It’s refreshing and effervescent.
This is exactly what I’ve been searching for in a citrus freshie—something vibrant and refreshing, but with a twist that makes it truly unique. Paloma is bright, juicy, and invigorating, like the first sip of something ice-cold after a long, sun-soaked day.
The grapefruit is crisp and fresh-squeezed—zesty without bitterness—and it’s perfectly balanced by sweet orange, cactus blossom, and that lush green mango. There’s a wild, desert breeze running through it all—a warm Santa Ana wind that adds just enough heat to make things interesting.
Then it settles into a stunning drydown of sun-dried Texas cedar and lightly smoked mezcal. Earthy, woody, just a touch smoky, but still sparkling and alive. It’s thirst-quenching, energizing, and completely addictive.
Looking for your summer anthem? Paloma is it. The ultimate summer freshie of my dreams.
This is my new favorite! Light, bright, and beautiful 💚
Smells like a paloma. Very fresh and cheerful
Cheers to Paloma - she is a bright juicy joy that dries down to a warm, smoky sip of deliciousness!
Love everything about this house from pricing to presentation and scent from forest spray to dry down
This is such a bright, cheerful summer scent. I think the mezcal and woody notes do a great job of grounding it and helping with longevity. When I smell this it takes me back to warm evenings in Boulder, sitting at sunny rooftop bars with my friends beside me, a gorgeous view in front of us, beautiful cocktails in our hands, talking and sipping for hours while the sun sets. It’s a powerful scent that can bring back a forgotten memory so vividly. This is incredibly well done, I just love it
Lovely citrus, sharp, tangy, ever so slightly sweet. Lasts on skin five or six hours, not a huge projector.
This is a smooth, uplifting scent with sweet pink grapefruit up front and a subtle boozy touch. It’s perfect for spring and summer!
This scent is intoxicating, it’s got such a nice scent - isn’t overpowering. It gives a slight sweetness of grapefruit, as well as hints of citrus from the orange and mango but smoky earthly hues of cedar
Love the fresh scent with a hint of mezcal flavor!
Very fresh & citrus like with a little floral, could be a very nice Spring and Summer scent
Love this. Will definitely upgrade
This is such a refreshing scent. I love citrus notes and the grapefruit is very juicy in the opening and dry down. This will be a go to summer fragrance for me.
I will will be shocked if I don’t own much of their entire line by next year. Vibe:Citrus sparkle meets salty wood.
Story:Grapefruit pop on the open, then it dries down into something sun-warmed and mineral—like sipping a Paloma on a driftwood deck. Summer in a bottle, and yes, full-size worthy.
Packaged well and arrived quite quickly in comparison to other sellers. Scents are great. Also received an extra sample which was quite welcome.
I've finally upgraded to a full bottle after demolishing a sample and almost a traveler. It is the most delightful and crisp on a hot day - literally feels like a sip of an icy cocktail. I ADORE the new bottles.
I bought a full-size Paloma and discovery set after stalking the website for a month or so. I’d been wanting to try something new and out of my fragrance comfort zone. I usually go for ouds and musky skin scents. Paloma is even better than expected! I love the sweet and sour grapefruit mixed with the smoky mescal. I still have my beloved oud with the hint of cedar. It’s perfect for the Arizona desert I just moved to. It smells bright and uplifting without being too sweet or citrusy. TBH all the perfumes in my discovery kit are bangers. You’re getting some quality fragrance for the price. The scent lasts about 5-6 hours on me. I don’t mind that it wears off half-way through the day because it gives me an excuse to re-apply! You definitely won’t smell like anyone else and none of their perfumes are boring. Thank you MDA for making an affordable and unique product!
Wow! This fragrance is so fresh and beautiful - reminds me of my days in Mexico.
Today I ordered my 7th Maison des Animaux fragrance but this will be my 8th. First of all, I absolutely adore this house. I now own more of their fragrances than any other house and I have about 100 full size from designer to niche. I don't normally like grapefruit but once again, this house blends so well that they make me love a fragrance note that I normally don't go for.
The description on this is perfect. The scent makes me feel like I'm wearing flowy, white linen dress while standing by a pool in the desert at sunset. Like a high desert vacation in a bottle. I regret that I discovered this in August rather than earlier in the summer but at least I still have half of summer to go.
This one was probably my favorite of the 3 try me sizes I got for my first order! Definitely considering getting a bigger bottle of this one and Definitely want to try some of their other scents
Refreshing
Absolutely lovely...refreshing and citrus. Smoky too. I look forward to buying the Holiday scene
This has got to be the most realistic grapefruit note in a perfume that I have ever smelled. So refreshing! The perfect summer scent!
Such a lovely, unisex fragrance. It’s citrusy and fruity, but the cedar and mezcal notes keep it dry and sophisticated. A perfect summer scent that has me perusing plane tickets to Mexico (although I could also see myself wearing this year-round whenever I need a mood boost!)
Not just any Paloma, it smells like a Paloma in a craft cocktail bar. Zesty citrus that doesn’t smell fake. This is the ultimate summer scent. Any occasion, every occasion. Unisex and lasts for a fair while compared to most citrus scents!
Paloma turned out to be my favorite scent in the discovery pack! This is a realistic grapefruit scent for me: it’s a juicy citrus scent with a touch of bitterness. If you want a sugary citrus scent, this is not for you. The cedar wasn’t overt on my skin, which I don’t mind, and the mezcal added just enough of smokiness and something else that keeps this fragrance fresh. I think I’ve found a new staple for my summer fragrances!
Such a lovely fresh scent. Perfect for spring and summer. Absolutely love this
This perfume reminds me of driving through Texas, New Mexico, and Mexico in early summer. It’s airy, light, and clean but grounded. I love the cactus blossom note and wish it lasted just a little longer on my skin.
Smells amazing doesnt last but smells great and it got here one day earlier
Absolutely beautiful - love it! Fresh and crisp. Perfect.
