Nectarine opens Can Can on a fruity, tangy note, lifted by clementine and the green facets of blackcurrant. Launched by Paris Hilton in 2007, the Eau de Parfum is the work of Jean-Claude Delville: orchid and orange blossom lead into a base of musk and wood, in a floral register.

Where to buy

My collection

Can Can was released in 2007 under the name Paris Hilton. Jean-Claude Delville is the perfumer, and the composition is offered as an Eau de Parfum. The house claims the dancers of the Moulin Rouge as its inspiration.

Can Can is sold in two sizes, a 30 ml bottle and a 100 ml bottle, which allow the same formula to be found in Eau de Parfum under two distinct formats within the Paris Hilton range.

Composition

Fruity top

Nectarine brings a fruity sweetness tinged with tartness. Alongside it, clementine combines sugar, acidity and finesse, in a light citrus register. Blackcurrant introduces a green, sharp note, with that sulfurous edge characteristic of blackcurrant bud, which gives definition to the opening.

Floral heart

Orchid evokes vanilla, anise and hawthorn, a flower rendered through an accord rather than an essence. Orange blossom, drawn from the bitter orange tree, offers here its facets of wax, sugar and powder, characteristic of this white and luminous material.

Musky base

Musk lends a warmth with animalic and woody accents, typical of musks that extend a formula. The woods, described as soft and creamy, provide a rounded foundation. Together, these materials form the base on which the fruits and flowers of Can Can rest.

Floral family

Can Can belongs to the floral family, carried by orchid and orange blossom. This family brings together compositions whose identity rests on flowers; here, waxy, powdery orange blossom and vanilla-tinged orchid, framed by tangy fruits and a musky base.
