Upon the first inhale of this intoxicating scent of YSL’s Parisienne I was initially surprised. It was much sweeter than I had anticipated. It has top notes of cranberry and blackberry and it was too sweet for my taste (no pun intended). In fact, hubby had to put his 2 cents in and he commented that it wasn’t his favorite.
Then a few minutes later I got to thinking, “Well now this doesn’t smell like it did before, I think I’m actually liking this”. That’s because the floral notes of rose and violet kicked in.
After about 15 or more minutes, I then really liked the fragrance. My favorite woody scents of all came through – first patchouli, then vetiver, musk, sandalwood. The hubby even said to me – “You know that perfume you sprayed before – I’ve decided I really like it now”.
The thought behind the fragrance is the ultra femininity of a woman, warmed by the touch of the man who embraced her. Some fragrances I just don’t get what they mean by what they are trying to accomplish with their scent. This one I get.
