Ooooo! LA LA!


I just adore the perfumes of Yves Saint Laurent. There are so many I like from this one maker. All very distinctive too. His 'Y' is the most beautiful fragrance, as is Rive Gauche, Baby Doll and many others. Paris is one of my firm favourites, and one of the first I have owned of his.

It comes in a salmon pink, gold, and black square box. Quite chunky, like the perfume. The bottle is dimpled, clear glass, quite squat and round, like a squashed ball, and It has a black and pink chubby top to it. With Yves Saint Laurent written in gold lettering to the front of the bottle.

There is nothing really feminine, or particularly attractive about the bottle, and the basic looking bottle belies the perfume inside.The bottle of Paris Eau de toilette I have is a 75ml bottle, 2.5fl.oz. It has a black push down atomiser spray to the top.

Paris by Yves Saint Laurent was created in 1983. The perfume contains a blend of hyacinth, mimosa, rose, violet, lily of the valley, bergamot, geranium, hawthorn cedar, sandal, heliotrope, and amber.

The fragrance is beautiful, it is sweet, Yet musky, a very interesting mixture of notes. I can smell the violet and rose quite predominantly, then sandlewood, as a middle note lingering in the background along with the geranium. All these come through quite strongly.

It really is a stunning fragrance. I would say mainly suited to daytime wear. My Husband just came over to smell it, and he said "Erghhh that's horrible! Charming! ;-) It's not actually, it's very lovely. One thing about this scent it is incredibly strong and will last and last on the skin. You don't need to go heavy on the amount you use. It's a very expensive smell, and a pretty expensive perfume.

To sum it up I would say it the fragrance of the Paris eau de toilette is very feminine and sexy, without being too heavy. containing a strong blend of rose, violet, sandlewood and geranium. If you don't like a sweet perfume this one will not be for you. - 9/10 from me.-


A 30ml bottle of the eau de toilette will cost from £19.50 @ http://www.kelkoo.co.uk/sbs/133501/10331620.html. Which is a very good price.
