Parisienne by Yves Saint Laurent

Perfumedsecrets

My first thoughts were modern green rose. Like rose fresh, and uncut. Barely red... and then the vinyl, which I'm sure is what causes people to feel it is synthetic and plastic. It's only an illusion of vinyl. The commercial.. "living and loving in the moment", while in bed. A bed of pink roses and perfume. There is an air of mysterious seduction. I think that's what they were aiming for with it. Kate wearing all black, but she isn't showing too much skin. Everyone knows this is YSL Paris for the younger women who found it too rosey and powdery. It's easily wearable and pretty for Spring.

The first time I smelled this perfume was from a magazine and I loved the intriguing scent mix. I mean vinyl in a perfume? Just plain cool. However I was horrified once I tried this perfume on. All freshness was immediately zapped away to leave a thick clingy floral gone bad smell. If your skin tends to zap away fruit/light flower smells, this perfume does horrible things.

Fragaria

I want this one so bad. One whiff and I was in a victorian age, parlor, deep red accent printed room size rug, curtains, wallpaper. The only way I can describe this is delicate, soft and charming. YUM!

bloodflower

parisienne is a modern rose, don't think it is similar to paris, this one is greener and sharper, it reminded me a lot of bvl rose esentielle, sadly it didn't work with my chemistry, i couldn't get the rose i wanted. also this fragrance has the most misleading advertisement i've ever seen. i could imagine kate wearing these fragrance and having an evening coffee with her friends or her lover not at all a night scent or sexy one.

Very intriguing! Smoky, dusty, naughty, cold rose and sparkling cranberries with a powdery finish. I agree, very artificial, but I actually like that fact. Yes, it doesn't smell very natural, but this is a fragrance after all. On me it lasts, but gets very light after a while and thus not very noticeable. I wouldn't applaud this fragrance, but quietly appreciate it.

zvoncica

Parisienne is romantic fragrance. Opens with high floral notes, girly, sweet and pink. Not overly strong, I would say it has nice balance, with the touch of red berries and musky dry down. Nothing remarkable or outstanding, more like high school accessorize. Reminded me little on Muglers Innocent in the beginning.

One hour later I sniffed my hand. Nothing. I sniffed lower towards fingers. Nothing here either. Sniffed the forearm, back arm, wrist, elbow, palm...seems like Parisienne went to Paris.

Aroussa

If Young Sexy Lovely was a bit bland and character-less, this one is way out there! Picture a rose flower, in the center of which is placed a teaspoonful of berry jam... and a few drops of nail varnish sprinkled on top... I still can't figure it out, but PArisienne is the first 'rose' blatantly floral fragrance I was ever moved to purchase. Will be enjoying it this spring. And yes, a little tiny bit of 'dirty skin' smell just might be there. But what's wrong with a little dirty skin? :-)

elgab89

Not very original....It has been done before and it has been done better...
The base notes are the best... the start is a little too sharp for my liking. Nothing spectacular about it... i expected more...

Puma

It's fruity and cheerful, very alluring and delicate. In general I admire YSL's style.

First of all I'd like to say that my reviews are about my very own skin experience with the perfume. I don't really mean to offend anyone or generalize people who wear the fragrance, whatever it is. I guess it's never too much saying that all of our personal opinions on perfume are based not only on our personalities, but also very much on our past experiences, our repertoires. This is why I would never judge someone by their perfume. So here it goes:
Right from the very first sniff, Parisienne reminded me of a rose-scented lotion my grandmother used to wear. Actually, it didn't just remind me of the scent... It smelled exactly like that! The exact body lotion smell, I mean, a very bodily smell. Throughout the time I was wearing it, I always got the same "almost dirty skin" feel.
The interesting thing is I don't find Parisienne a sexy perfume, it's not really attractive, but it does have something carnal as someone said here, like an almost abstract conponent that gives this sexual backgroung feeling. I find that interesting as an element, but in this case it just adds more of a "bad vibe" to the composition.
That's beacause I find Parisienne a very depressive fragrance. Despite it's initial ten minutes of cranberries that smell like a timid start of a more joyful scent, this perfume makes me think of a lustful woman in an emotional hole. Very sad heavy feeling, that is what it evokes me, and I don't know why. Don't like it at all, despite the beauty that can also be found in this fragrance. And although I would never wear it myself, I also wouldn't find annoying if I sniffed it on someone else next to me, 'cause it is still an inofensive, low-speaking fragrance.
The funny thing is that this exact bad vibe I experienced and described wasn't so unfamiliar, beacause of the advertising. The fragrance really evoked the spirit of the ad to me, but maybe in an even heavier and lower mood. I didn't expect the ad to be such a faithful reproduction of the scent!

CUPCAKEDOLL

When I wear Parisienne I feel so sexy and clean! Parisienne is a vintage box with make-up powder, clean clothes, the room´s soap of a luxurious hotel, a dinner in a great restaurant in the center of Paris...I love it, and when I smell this wonderful scent I think about a luxurious, powerful and rich life

krmarich

This smells more like a Parisienne fruit market. Come on, house YSL! This is one of the most trite offerings since Nu, which has been discontinued. The rose/violet notes are completely buried by this obnoxious sweet fruity/peony disaster that sicken me. At least Baby Doll used citrus which appealed to most noses. It is youthful, yet beautiful. Not once do I detect vinyl or lacquer. It figures after the founder of the house passes, the inmates are controlling the asylum.

yvashche

A nice spicy rose. I do get the synthetic comments, it can be overpowering, so spray once, let it settle and spray again because the underlying effect is quite nice but the top notes are off-putting. Not for everyone but suitable for mature and younger ladies.

beauty_girl

I can totally smell the violet :) It smells almost like Feerie by Van Cleef & Arpels wich sadly isn´t on the market here in sweden, so i am so glad that there now is an onther perfume now for me with violet :)

Anahi

This smells very youthful and bubbly. A great spring/summer scent - nothing too heavy, not too light; smells like fruits and flowers on my skin which I like but the lasting power isn't fab!

Malegria

A disappointment! a blah pale synthetic rose - there is a vague reference from Paris, but it`s insignificant.It seems to me that several great perfume houses decided to compete in the dullest perfume for young girls.Where is the twist, where is the core, where is the heart in all this?
Shame!

Jinalda

Many noticed a chemical fleur and that is true. But in fact the dose of chemicals is not critical – it’s only in the top notes. This perfume is targeted on the same market segment as Baby Doll and Young Sexy Lovely. All the adult ladies should stay away! Otherwise they will be disappointed, 'cause it's not for them.

I definitely smelt the rose immediately and it stayed till the very base notes. All the other components are quite secondary, noticed only as shades.
But what’s about the rose? Here is not that rose which leaves elegant, velvety bitter taste in when you breathe in and out it’s aroma. Here is a very sweet and gentle flower which is hardly a bitter one, but still it’s a rose. A true one.

I see some contradiction between the fragrance and the promos – I see it for a young and slightly giddy (in a good way) girl. And that is definitely not for that rock’n’roll driven bold and saucy type of woman that is in promos – though it’s always nice to here the DM song anywhere.)) For that promos it should be the black roses, not the pink ones.

Thinking of the title for some reason I imagined Paris of the end of the 19th century. Not the place like Moulin Rouge though, but the promenade before Eiffel’s tower – young ladies are walking with their mothers, and the smell of fresh roses. No, there is nothing vintage about this scent, but that is definitely about a very young and sweet girl, who doesn’t gait her bitterness yet. Or lets say – hasn’t grown her thorns yet.

As for the lasting power – I was very surprised when I could clearly detect the smell on the carton rose, which promoter gave to me two weeks back. It also lasted more than 4 hours on my wrist. Not bad result, taking in account that my skin is quite dry.

All in all, quite safe scent, not that chemical to be as cheap as the majority of popular scents for the young ladies, and truly rosy. The olfactory group must be Floral-Fruity, but that is much more floral. I wouldn’t buy it for myself (just not my cup of tea) but as a gift it’s quite acceptable ;) Well, you may always swap a bottle with somebody.

mymlan

A girlie berry kinda scent. The rose is there but I never get seduced by it because of the cranberries. Smells a bit chemical too I'm afraid. Still it´s not a bad frag, and im sure it works well on others. However, I don't find the seductiveness it appeals to. IMO it would fit a girly girl that has not yet become a woman, or maybe an image of that archetype (Kate Moss-type). I would love to have a fresh floral rose scent but this is almost childish on my skin. The lasting power is not good either. Sorry ladies. Please keep enjoying it if you do. This is not a big rose and If I'd go for berries I'd go straight to the Guerlain counter and really try out all the Insolence's once and for all.

edit: I need to add a fair comment that it actually has a lastingpower. Very close, clean and light, but still something is there several hours after spraying my wrist. And FGS, It's an YSL frag. One should expect that :)

cherebitte

The first time I smelt Parisienne I recoiled a little, but this is entirely typical of scents I end up falling in love with. In fact it's the "love at first sniff" perfumes that rarely stay "loved" with me.

It was all synthetic something with a bit of berry and rose mixed in. Just a bit yucky and fake. That being the case I found myself coming back to the tester each time I had the opportunity. For Christmas then I received the EDP 50ml and Body Lotion gift set and I'm not ashamed to say that every day since I have doused myself in the stuff. It opens with a refreshing berry/rose- the key being fresh to my nose. I'm extremely fond of heavy scents but many do catch in my throat. I could probably drink this stuff and it wouldn't irritate. The drydown is slightly disappointing by comparison with a fairly gentle generic woody base. Sadly sillage isn't great on me and within a few hours I find it hard to detect though layering with the lotion prolongs it's life.

I can't say why this perfume has me hooked so much- it's not even within my favourite olfactive group- but for the time being at least it's all I want to wear.

In three words: Charming, Berries and Roses.

Victoria Regia

Too sweet and "jammy" for me. Like the urban, nail polish-like notes though.

sky76sky

A rosey, classier cousin of the effervescent Armani Diamonds.

The start is sparkling, fizzy & fresh but much more delicate than AD. There is a similar sherbet-sweetness to this scent but a delicious sour cranberry note balances it before it goes super-sonic.

Fom then on until the end of its short-lived life, it is a sweet, diluted rose scent.

BUT, where are the woods? The cosmetic bag lipstick & compact? Lacquer? Vinyl? Asphalt?

YSL, you seductively whisper to me of daring & edgey perfume scent-sations & even wave Kate Moss before my eyes .....but all I find is a pretty, innocent, fragile flower that pales into insignificance beside her noisy, older Paris sisters & would be instantly crushed, smashed & trashed under the Moss high heel of cool.

guest_

As soon as I saw the commercial with the always beautiful Kate Moss, i knew i had to have it! It smells very pretty, then becomes interesting as the woodsy notes take over. Not one of my favorites, but I do enjoy it and find myself wearing it often.

jigglyclefairypuff

A dazzling scent of sheer opulent florals and lingering medley of crisp, exotic fruit.
Users will be enthralled by the vivacious, charming and bold scent. It's not exactly 'sexy' or 'sensual', but you could call it 'flirtatious'.

The lasting power is an absolute joke however.

lucifera

i agree with libertybelle, it's a nice rose scent but the lack of lastingpower is a reason for not buying it..too bad because it could be a good purchase for warmer days

tessture

This one goes on very blackberry and rose, quite simple and lovely. It passes through a stage very close to what I get with Bvlgari Rose Absolute, a sweet and fruity floral. Then the Sandalwood comes up a bit too strongly for me, diluting the fresh berry scent with an almost alcohol astringent that is at once too sharp and too woody for the rose/berry blend. I like the idea of cutting the sweet fruity rose with a wood, but this one is the wrong wood on my skin, probably due to my iffy relationship with sandalwoods. Overall, it’s quite lovely. This is a fruit scent that in no way smells young or d’jour like so many of the fruity florals out there these days. It smells restrained and feminine without being powdery or pink; just a little sweet without smelling like food, candy or cloying sugar; the sandalwood edge keeps it from being too gentle, for those who can wear sandalwood.

Ouch!

Wow! What a bouncy, fruity almsost....effervescent smell this has. It's all about the cranberry and rose. I'ts got a nice clean vibe to it, in the way that..it smells refreshing like a fruity drink.
The floral element is bright and youthful and remids me of spring, this is going to be gorgeous in summer.
I like the bottle, kind of like a pink crystal, and the perfume is definately coloured corectly. Light pink...just like the smell.

libertybelle

At first I was disapointed because even after a few sprays, this perfume didn't seem to have much fragrance to it. After a minute or so, it settled in. Mostly what struck me was the cranberry element to it. That seemed to dominate to me. I really wanted more rose and as such felt disapointed. Staying power isn't that great either. After a few hours, it's faded quite a bit. Sorry, this doesn't smell like the city streets of Paris to me.

LenaBel

Can't agree more with sofiii's review here. That's exactly how it smelt to me - at the start mouthwatering berries and juicy fruitiness then it turned quite quickly into this synthetic powdery smell with something plastic in it.
That's a bummer as the concept and the ad is SO appealing to me, the bottle is gorgeous too. If I would have to pick up a fragrance blindly, this would be it. But luckily, I smelled it first.

guest_A. Rose

What a lovely, hazy dream. Opening on a sterile burst of creamy rose and dark, jammy berries, evolving into lusher roses against creamy-polished sandalwood and wet skin scent, "Parisienne" actually reminded me vaguely of "Joy by Jean Patou". The "vinyl" essence offers a quality similar to what benzoin gives to a fragrance; smooth, slightly resiny but squeaky-clean and adding to the creamy quality of the sandalwood. The blackberry-rose accords are slightly reminiscent of Bvlgari's "Rose Essentielle" but evolve into something more distinctive, as a fresh, pink rose feels glossed-over by raindrops and accompanied by sugared violet drops, with rain pouring on oil-slicked asphalt in the background, adding an edgy, masculine quality to an otherwise hyper-feminine blend.

The house of Yves Saint Laurent always manages to capture that raw, ancient sensuality that distinctly defines French fragrance (even in such a mainstream blend as this one); the juxtaposition of clean and dirty, sweet and raunchy, feminine and masculine. While "Parisienne" has a floaty, chiffon-like prettiness to it, there's also a hint of coffee and cigarettes, beautifully carved tombs and tunnels, that rare Paris quality of roughness, the harshness of life against the gentle moments and polished beauty; passion, uncontrived gorgeousness. There are no screenprinted signs or immaculate lighting in this establishment, just raw beauty, messy around the edges and creative, intellectual abandon.

neve

Chic and softly sexy. Fruity and bright. Not incredibly original but a very pleasant blend. It just makes me feel serene. Love the ad with Kate Moss playing with the roses, so sensuous.

jatzzie

Oh, this is so nice! It's warm, rosy and sophisticated, like YSL's perfumes tend to be (minus the roses :D). I own YSL's Elle and even tho scentwise, these two fragrances have virtually nothing in common but in feeling, they are similiar. Something great for the office, a day in the city or some special event, I think this fragrance is perfect for that.I like it.:)

miszliz

i love the smell but not really for a perfume. got a lot of compliments during wearing it. but if someone asks
i tell them its just a perfume for my hair. and i do only spray it on my hair. very fresh and longlasting.
i use it just for work or when i go shopping, only the casual things.
it never lets me down by turning up my mood but its nothing more than ordinary and it doesnt have character at all. nothing special and it could be never a signature scent, but nice to have

irishprincess

I once read something that Luca Turin had said about rose notes never being good in perfumes, that the smell of a rose just couldn't be duplicated in a perfume, and I always agreed with that. Until I smelled Parisienne. Finally, I have found a perfume that has done rose in exactly the right way. I know that Cranberry is the main note in this, however it smells more blackberryish to me; it isn't as tart as a cranberry. It's a slightly musky, dusty smell and I can smell the vinyl at times, mostly I smell Blackberry-Rose, which doesn't sound nice, but it is. My favorite thing about this perfume? It's original, nothing else smells like it!

misscareyann

I'm submitting a second review for this since I've worn this to my job.
I've gotten many compliments on how nice I smell. The fragrance kept me feeling fresh for the duration of my entire shift (and I work in a smoky casino). It was not overpowering or offensive.
Many people noted the rose in the fragrance and thought it was very pretty. I love how the cranberry hides behind the rose discreetly and the rose never wilts.
Since I work in a party and club environment, I would recommend this for dates, or nights out on the town.

sofiii

Parisienne is an interesting perfume and I tried to like it but unfortunatelly it's not my cup of tea.

Parisienne starts with a burst of really nice, mouth-watering delicious and fresh floral fruity scent, I can smell the cranberries with some faint floral hint. The start is really pleasant and somehow I guess it could be a slight younger version of Paris(which I like).

However, within 5 minutes, all the nice fresh scent's gone completely! What I've got left on my skin is some kinda of powdery-thick-earthy-sweet, tranditional-Chinese-medicine/herbe kinda of smell. Maybe it's the patchouli+Vetiver combo?

After about one hour, a really plastic cosmetic bag scent came and this vinyl scent could be interesting, but on me, this scent and the earlier patchouli+vetiver combo just blend in a heavy/smoky/dusty way which I really don't like.

Well, Parisienne has something reminds me Diamonds by Armani, (I gave away my Diamond edp due to the dislike of heavy/dusty feeling there). So if you like Diamonds, maybe you will find Parisienne nice.

However, Parisienne isn't my typical imagination of a real Parisienne and sorry, I've tried more than twice, we just don't have the right chemistry.

Chipa

The bottle of this fragrance is lovely. As I saw it I really wanted to like the fragrance since YSL has had many succesfull fragrances in the past and the bottle would have been a cute addition to my small collection. It's cute, feminine and stylish giving me an impression of a modern and classy perfume for a woman who has a good selfesteem along with a basic joy of living.

The problem I have with certain fragrances, including this one, is that I find it a bit over-done, upfront and too defined leaving no space for imagination which somehow leads the perfume to lack depth and character. It's ok fragrance but because of the reasons listed above it's not for me.

guest_A. Rose

Airy roses preserved in benzoin and sandalwood resin. Something creamy-plasticky seems to have been added to newer sandalwood in order to give it the oily-richness of mature sandal. "Parisienne" is lovely in a smooth, yet old-world way, where the simplicity of the rose/sandalwood combo gives the impression of days gone by, while the modernized vetiver and polished quality of the blend keeps it in the moment. A soft, pretty blend that, while mainstream in its sensiblity, still manages to evoke the intellectual challenge of historical, french fragrance.

guest_lulu

Im suprised at those who thought that Parisienne came off as a little too strong, cause I personally had to apply it twice to get it to smell.

I detected hints of exotic fruit in this, and the olfactive notes were very well structured together. Clean cut florals and exotic fruit well blended.

swedeangel

Yes its sweet ,but not overly so. The violet and that makeupbag-laquer-tone balances the sweetness fine. Its not quite my cup of tea,but its sensuois in a modern,maybe a cold kind of sexiness way. Its modern,chic and very much " big city" ,no romance there , but very enjoyable on the right person . Smells class and quality . Staying power is also very good.
....and the drydown...wow ...

mizzgossip

Like Taydev says, magazine samples can trick you. I smelled this about a month ago in a sample, and thought it smelled nice, so I wanted to test it.
Yesterday I sprayed some Parisienne on, and it was so incredibly sweet! I don't dislike sweet perfumes, but this was really too sweet for me. It smelled obnoxious, I wanted to wash it off, because I found it very irritating.
So, I won't buy this.

misscareyann

I first smelled this in a magazine and loved it. I immediately bought the fragrance and lotion.
When first sprayed, the lacquer came on strong, but quickly dried to the wonderful fragrance I experienced in the magazine. Fruity tones, but not overly fruity, that mix well with the woody notes, and there is still a tiny hint of nail polish and leather, which I normally wouldn't like, but the fruity elements balance out the fragrance.
I like the whiff I get every once in a while when wearing it

COSMICSCENTS

The first spray was I thought it was similar to Paris, but as it started developing it does not smell like Paris at all, I do smell what they call vinyl note, I don't know if I would call it vinyl, but it does smell a little synthetic. It's ok but I would not purchase for the retail price.

taydev

well ive only smelt it in a magazine sample and we all know how that tricks us sometimes. i did smell the berry in it on paper and its a likeable fragrance so far. hmmmm...wonder how it'll react on my skin??

smellysmellycat

Firstly,I must say that i liked that fragrance when i first smelled it. Classical rose essence,which is common in Baby Doll or Dolce Vita too, is fresher this time with berry notes.Parisienne gives a good and light feeling, but makes you ask yourself; "Is it ordinary?". I'm not very sure about it but this fragrance will be one of the most weared fragrances of this season. Oh and it's not longlasting.

nathalieZ

I second Jale for the lack of originality in Parisienne..every woman will like it, many will wear it..it is a bit generic in its lack of personality ;it is a soft floral built around a nice soft rose note..nothing more..it is reminiscent of Paris, although not as strong and probably a bit more fruity..I expected more, I didnt get it..like Idylle by Guerlain, and Ricci by Ricci, those new scents seem to aim the 18-30 year old women, with a bit of fruity notes, abit of floral, but a huge lack of character!!

toocute.218

I was drawn to this one recently after smelling in it a magazine ad. About two days later my husband surprised me with it when I came home. I agree that it is not an overly fruity girly teeny bop smell, but not old lady either. It is deep rich fruity floral with a tad spiciness to it. I would say a little more special occasion, but could be worn as an everyday signature fragrance. It is beautiful fragrance and i love it!

perfumesheep

Parisienne is very classy and feminin.A perfume not for everyday but for special occasions.It´s lasting power is quite good on me which is very rare. I wore it last night and I could smell it on me the whole evening. I also have the body lotion and the shower gel which makes is even more present. It has a very strong rose note.For me all other notes are more in the backround.Berries are there, yes, but still the roses come through more dominant. It is also quite sweet but in a balanced way. I love it. It is one of my favorites at the moment.

rainydays

I thought I wouldn't like this much at all... I expected an old, powdery floral. But surprise surprise, I was really drawn to it! The berry notes are almost a little soapy (not too sweet at all), and the floral notes are modern and youthful. I know the description says there's a vinyl note, but I didn't catch anything of the sort (thank goodness!). The entire composition is beautiful, romantic, bright, and makes me smile.

nasus s

Mmmm. I like like how sweet the top notes are- they remind me of a very sweet red berry after dinner wine. However, this didn't last long on me at all- I barely smelled it after an hour or two. I thought with the patchouli, & sandalwood the dry down would be more noticeable. I was considering getting the 1.oz bottle, but think I will pass for now only because this just isn't that unique at the moment and I have so many sweet scents already. Also, the bottle reminds me of antique crystal salt and pepper shakers.

mizzgossip

I read in a beauty magazine that this perfume had 'vinyl' notes, that smelled a bit like nailpolish. Although that kind of disgusts me - if it's true - I still want to try this perfume. Love the bottle.

mypersonalharmonics

Parisienne is good.Full stop.

YSL for me, is all about their early scents,opium,yvresse,paris etc. I couldn't care less about late attempts such as Cinema and elle.(Nu stood out magnificently but it was too peculiar I guess to make a living.)
Parisienne breaks a long chain of boring Paris-look alikes and makes a statement.
It is very modern, very dry/salty, very long lasting despite its "airiness", very femminine in the pink way.

The bottle with the leathery detail is a work of art. It is worth owning this one.After all, it's a Grojsman!

Evel

I disagree with most people here and really like this new one by YSL. I wasn't a fan of Elle, tried it once and never again. This one i will definately wear. Its tart and sweetish, a good everyday scent. I am a big Paris fan, nothing can replace that classic, but i will find a space in my heart for Parisienne aswell...

rosesbecomeme

So weak it lasted about two minutes on me. Don't waste your money if you can get any of the special versions of "Paris". This won't last to be a classic.

guest_angel

Disappointed with this one, I wanted to love it but no, it's just another light-fruity-floral aimed at young girls, it would seem. No character at all.

Le sigh.

faith24

I really wanted to like another creation by YSL. I have been disappointed with Elle and I hoped YSL would redeem itself with Parisienne- the concept and the marketing campaign with Kate Moss in tow implied a dark sultry dramatic perfume.

Instead we received a very weak (lasting power is below one hour) raspberry juice with a slight hint of powder in a base. No rose to speak of. Adding to the insult, this "perfume" smells strangely similar to Promesse by Cacharel. And, unfortunately, Promesse smells slightly better. YSL has a reputation to uphold, with so many classic fragrances but Parisienne smells like something Paris Hilton would wear and produce.

Indian Scents

I was eagerly awaiting the arrival of the perfume and I sampled it when it did. This is a light perfume suitable for day/office wear not at all musky/woody or heavy.

holly13

I don't like this. It is a salty smell with cranberry. I don't like perfume with a musk smell in it anyway.

jonr951

Found it at Macys 2day and i just love love love love love it!! Its sweet and just lovely. The bottle is 2 die 4! Its like a more sophisticated version of Unconditional Love and its opening is rather like the sweetness of CanCan. I really like it but im sure alot of people wont. It seems geared alittle towards the younger crowd. Its nice though and one should give it a try! Nice job YSL!

a bit vintage

Unfortunately I found Parisienne to be a typical floral. Where's the bold aromas of vinyl and lacquer? I surely didn't pick up on that or get the reminder of a cosmetic bag nor hot city asphalt. Nothing out of the ordinary here, not exactly bad either.

enigmatict

The only original thing about this fragrance is that it has lovely top notes. I smell rose and peony, but then it ends up smelling like Flora by Gucci (don't like it)!

ydee

I really love it from the first sniff.
Brightness of the berries gives is just only the first 10 minutes a fruity note, but very nicely.
Than it is delicious, sweet but not too much, I do smell hints of Paris and Babydoll in it but different, and more woody.
The woody drydown is very lovely.
It last long at me, could smell it the next morning still on my arm.

jellybeantree

I have been waiting for this one for a while and tried it today, and well, it's pretty it smells pretty and mondern it isn't knocking me off my feet,it smells like I imagined it when I saw the notes. It's pretty and stylish and modern! I am not sure if I will buy it.

LiLascents

Well, let me try this thing. I've been waiting for this perfume to come out forever. I spotted it on a webshop maybe 4 months ago, but offcourse it wasn't in stock yet. Since a few days it is in my country, I already bought a mini online and got a sample in a store. I'm not one for fruity florals, so this was a chalenge for me. I do love 'Paris'. I want to love this. It's interesting though I don't love it...yet. It starts of very bright, some berry thing. Like it, don't love it. But the drydown is more woody (which I love dearly) with still that brightness in it. I think this one will do well in rainy weather. I can compare it a little to Boudoir Sin Garden. Not the smell, but the feel of the perfume.
I do like it. And I'm going to wear this untill I love it. ;)
'Paris' is my aunts signature fragrance from the time it came on the market, I want this to become one of mine. (sorry, as with men; there is no 'the one')
