Yves Saint Laurent Paris Eau de Parfum 75ml Spray

Yves Saint Laurent Paris Eau de Parfum 75ml Spray is the original 1983 floral declaration of love to the City of Light — a luminous, romantic and unapologetically rose-led eau de parfum composed by Sophia Grojsman. A perfumery icon of the 1980s, YSL Paris remains one of the most romantic and feminine rose-violet fragrances ever created.

About Yves Saint Laurent

Yves Saint Laurent is the French luxury house founded in Paris in 1961 by couturier Yves Henri Donat Mathieu-Saint-Laurent and Pierre Bergé. The maison's beauty division has produced a string of fragrance icons — Opium, Paris, Black Opium, Libre — that have defined modern feminine perfumery. Paris remains a treasured floral signature in the YSL portfolio.

Character

Paris opens with a powdery-fresh burst of violet and damask rose, lifted by green geranium and a touch of bergamot. The heart is the unmistakable signature — an opulent rose-violet duet built around May rose and violet, layered with lily-of-the-valley, hyacinth and ylang-ylang for a richly feminine, almost couture-like bouquet. A soft drydown of sandalwood, amber and musk extends the wear with a powdery, romantic warmth.

Who it's for

This 75ml eau de parfum is for romantic-floral enthusiasts and lovers of classical rose-violet perfumery. It particularly suits those who favour soft-powdery, feminine fragrances over fresh or gourmand styles, and is wonderful for evening events, weddings and special occasions where a timelessly elegant scent is wanted.

How to use

1. Spray onto pulse points — wrists, behind the ears, base of the throat — after moisturising
2. Hold the bottle 15–20 cm from the skin and apply 2–3 short presses
3. Let the fragrance dry naturally without rubbing the wrists together
4. Mist a final spray into the hair or onto a scarf for a longer trail
5. Re-apply lightly through the day or before evenings out
