okay so this line is talking about the interior decor.
"The luxurious Parisian notes" refer to the parts of the decor that are Parisian (of or from Paris) whether it be vases, paintings, lamps, etc. The second part is a little more ambiguous. "offer themselves to a fiercely feminine interior." basically means that the Parisian parts are paired with the extremely feminine interior. I would understand (from this sentence) that the Parisian parts of the design pair very well with the feminine design.

@mfrances: thanks for your explanation :)

so in other words,this sentence means that the Parisian style decoration fits very well with feminine design ? I'm not pretty sure what " feminine design " means here :(

and I thought this sentence will have some connection with first sentence ? (Lou Reed's song)
I mean...maybe "the luxurious Parisian notes" describes the song?

@dobbyelsa: yes exactly!

feminine design would be something that is probably very girly (most likely something with lace, light bright colors, dainty, etc)

i do not think it is an actual song - tunes is just describing the way Lou Reed speaks. it is probably just symbolizes that the way she speaks is very pretty.

but i'm glad you pointed out the words "notes" and "tunes"
-they don't actually mean what they are here it seems to be more like a parallel or something that connects the passage

it's very pretty language
