France has a temperate climate. In cooler weather, richer Eau de Parfum and extrait fragrances — amber, woods and oud — project beautifully and last all day.
Local retailers (Sephora, Marionnaud) deliver within France. Buying from international sites can be cheaper, but check whether € prices include import duty and shipping, as fragrances are liquids and may face restrictions.
