A weekend in Paris is never just about where you go, it’s about how it feels.
The light, the pace, the small rituals. A coffee in the morning, a walk between vintage stores, a long lunch that turns into afternoon.
A Paris guide with creator Freja Settergren. From cafés and vintage spots to bistros, paired with scents that match every moment.
Morning in Paris
Start your day slowly.
Paris mornings are soft, golden and unhurried. Best experienced with a good coffee and nowhere to be.
Where to go
10 Belles
Fringe
Cortado
These are places where the city wakes up gently, where you sit a little longer than planned.
The scent to wear: Art Life
Fresh and luminous, with notes of mandarin and bergamot.
A scent that feels like early light on quiet streets.
Breakfast Moments
Breakfast in Paris is less about rushing and more about atmosphere.
A corner table, something simple, a moment to take it all in.
Where to go
Fauna
Dreaming Man
Paperboy
Soft, intimate spaces that feel local and effortless.
Shopping & Wandering
The best way to experience Paris is to wander.
To move between streets, discover places by chance and follow what catches your eye.
Spots to explore
Officine Universelle Buly
Kanelle Vintage
Snowbunny
Hidden boutiques and small concept stores
This is where Paris feels most personal – curated, creative, slightly nostalgic.
The mood
Curious, expressive, free
Scent pairing
Go for something warm, textured and a little unexpected – a scent that evolves as the day unfolds.
Lunch the Parisian Way
By lunchtime, the city shifts.
There’s more energy, more movement, more sound. This is when you settle in and stay for a while.
Where to go
Bistrot Paul Bert
Cantina Corta
Racines
Classic spots where food, atmosphere and people come together.
Scent as Part of the Experience
Throughout the day, scent becomes part of the memory.
A citrus note in the morning.
Something softer and warmer as the day moves on.
Moments that stay with you, not just visually, but emotionally.
