The Inspiration
A memory of syrup, strawberries and morning light.
Take Me To Paris began at a fifty’s diner in Osu, over a short stack of pancakes with strawberries, syrup, vanilla ice cream and whipped cream. It is a memory Yusif never quite let go of, carried further by 10am sunlight and Dolly Parton drifting from his father’s old records. The fragrance bottles that warmth: syrupy berries, warm cake and airy cream folded into one delicious, nostalgic whole.
Hand-composed and finished in Accra, it carries Maison Yusif’s signature richness into a brighter, more playful register, a celebration of life’s simple joys.
In Motion
How to Wear It
The Ritual
Layer on skin
Mist wrists and neck; the cream notes need body heat to turn from sweet to plush.
Refresh as you like
A bright gourmand like this is made to be re-applied through a long day.
Keep it daytime
Wear it for brunch, errands and warm afternoons rather than black-tie evenings.

The Perfumer
Why I made This
This one is a memory I couldn't put down. Pancakes and strawberries at a little diner in Osu, morning light, my father's music playing. I wanted to bottle that warmth exactly as it felt: sweet, golden, a little nostalgic. Wear it on the days you want to feel that lightness again.

Before you buy
Questions, answered
Is it very sweet?
Yes, proudly. It's a dessert-style gourmand: think strawberries-and-cream, not a sharp floral.
Is it only for women?
It's listed for women but the gourmand profile is easy to share.
Will it last in heat?
It holds in any weather, and the trail stays enormous from morning into the night.
Can I try before a full bottle?
Yes. Add a travel size, or sample it through the Discovery Collection.
How far does it project?
Enormous. It leaves a trail roughly 150 meters after you pass by.
