YSL Paris

Who knows Paris better than Yves Saint Laurent? Like the City of Light itself, this perfume is a complex array of moving parts, disparate elements that blend together to create a unique beauty found only in Paris. It opens with mimosa, rose, hyacinth, bergamot, cassia and nasturtium, a rich floral that brings to mind the bouquet-studded streets. The middle consists of violet, rose, lily, lime blossom, jasmine and ylang-ylang. The base is yet more floral, with iris, heliotrope, oakmoss and some amber and sandalwood. It's the perfume that keeps on giving, with ever more flowers hidden in the mix, and as an eau de toilette it's not overwhelming. Paris is the scent of the city in the spring.
