About This Perfume
Yves Saint Laurent Paris smells like powdery rose and violet bouquet with soft musk. It opens with rose, mimosa and hiacynth, moves into violet, lily and lime blossom and settles on iris, heliotrope and musk. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de toilette works across all four seasons and is a daytime scent. Reach for it for casual days. Released in 1983.
In the community's experience it lasts well into the evening, and projects to about arm's length.
Is it right for you?
- Best for: anyone after something clean and powdery for casual days.
- Sample first if: powdery is new territory for you.
- Skip if: you dislike floral fragrances.
Around $110.

Community's top five right now are the divisive-and-loved Opium Pour Homme EDP (star anise vanilla cedar, 1995), Opium Parfum (1977 amber incense spice), 6 place Saint Sulpice (smoky leather resin, 2017), Y EDP (fresh apple sage aromatic, 2018) and Rive Gauche pour Homme (fougère star-anise, 2003). Family lean is gourmand-forward on the feminine side, fresh-aromatic on the masculine side.
