Yves Saint Laurent’s latest Parisienne, a woman is judged too old for Elle, but too young for harder-hitting, one-of-age classic Opium and Paris. A woman in her 30s, in other words. What we know about this woman? Well, it would be free in body and spirit. It is not Paris, but Paris has accepted her because she knows how to love and live. It is at the stop of the day-break on the evening last night clothes, but that’s not scandalous, it is free (or so she says) .1 If you see wonder how she looks, well, they look like Kate Moss , in black leather, writhing in the backseat of a car, while the meandering flashbacks to a bed.
Elle, I thought, fair enough, although it is somewhat predictable, as well as all elements from the then prevailing trends in the mainstream scent for young ladies. It was hard to tell what to expect from Paris. The name and bottle design are naturally derived from the original Paris, Yves Saint Laurent fragrance, launched in 1983 to life, and the smell is credited with Sophia Grojsman who was from Paris (for Parisian perfumer, in collaboration with Sophie Labbe) . The sheet music – vinyl accord, Cranberry, Blackberry, damask rose, violet, peony, patchouli, vetiver, sandalwood and musk – it sounded like a modern take on Paris suggestive, and some sources put it, “a sharper, younger than the smell of the brand iconic fragrance Paris’ .2 mentioned, but conspicuously absent from Paris by Yves Saint Laurent’s website and press release on the Parisienne, and Yves Saint Laurent has been done countless variations on Paris for their annual spring series Flanker, so I thought it would be likely distantly related.
As shown, the bid for Paris clearly enough, but nothing like the Parisienne Paris cherry flan, the most pure, fruity, Happy-Go-Lucky variations on the theme of Paris. Parisienne opens in a frothy pink and purple cake with Berry. On paper, the berries seem to hang forever, and Parisian feel light and bright, disappear quickly on the skin of the berries, but then so is the rose: Parisienne is not strong floral that was Paris, and after the feel peace, the fruit is dark, almost wistfully. If you opt for the “vinyl-accord” is clearly apparent in the early stages, seems to fade, and again for the next few hours or so. The base is dark forest musk octopus, with the ubiquitous patchouli cleaning, it’s all smoothed out of powder. Parisienne becomes firmer as it dries, and then adjacent to nervous, but it’s not quite there, despite the vinyl and earthy notes, it is a subtle fragrance, and ultimately to be no longer clean. The dry down is evidently determined are so sexy, and maybe it is, but it’s just not the kind of courageous things you would expect of someone writhing in black leather on the back of a car, carry.
