Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Irrésistible EDP
A breezy, luminous rose-musk that’s effortlessly chic and uplifting. Irresistible lives up to its name with a fresh pear opening and a soft, modern floral heart that wears beautifully in everyday life.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Parisienne EDP
A truly divisive scent, Parisienne is either a chic, playful rush of berry and vinyl or a headache-inducing synthetic mess. Love it or hate it, YSL's gamble on a "plasticky" rose scent certainly sparked debate.

Season and Occasion Fit

Irrésistible

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

The luminous pear, rose, and musky facets shine in spring and summer, with freshness and airy sweetness that avoid heaviness. It works in early fall but lacks the depth for winter’s chill.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual

Its gentle projection and modern musky-floral character make it ideal for office and date wear, with enough radiance for casual occasions. It is too soft-spoken for formal events and not suited to sporty contexts.

Parisienne

Seasons

Best For:
Spring
Also Works:
Summer Autumn

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office

Its moderate sillage and sweet, flirty character make it suitable for dates and casual wear. While some find it office-appropriate due to its mild projection, the unique vinyl note can be polarising, making it a risk for formal settings.
