Paris by Yves Saint Laurent is a Floral fragrance for women, launched in 1983 and crafted by the talented perfumer Sophia Grojsman. This fragrance is a true 20th Century classic, a must-try for all serious fragrance aficionados. Its allure lies in the intricate dance of floral notes, creating a timeless, glamorous aura that has captivated generations.
At the opening, a burst of rose mingles with the bright freshness of bergamot and the green crispness of nasturtium and cassia. The delicate sweetness of mimosa and orange blossom adds a soft, creamy nuance, while hawthorn and hyacinth lend a touch of powdery elegance. As the scent unfolds, the heart reveals a sophisticated bouquet of rose and violet, enriched by the exotic touch of ylang-ylang and the ethereal beauty of lily-of-the-valley. Jasmine and orris root provide a lush, velvety depth, supported by the subtle floral warmth of lime blossom.
The base notes ground the composition with a sensuous blend of iris, musk, and heliotrope, which impart a soft, powdery finish. A hint of sandalwood and cedarwood adds a creamy, woody backdrop, while oakmoss and amber contribute a rich, earthy warmth. This enduring fragrance weaves these elements into an iconic tapestry of femininity and grace, proving its status as a legendary and unforgettable creation.
