Which Should You Buy?

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.
Statement
Our Verdict - Rose Pompon EDT
Rose Pompon is a delicate, fruity rose that's undeniably pretty and perfect for spring, though its fleeting presence is a common complaint. It's a fresh, youthful take on rose, but don't expect it to stick around for long.

Season and Occasion Fit

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.

Rose Pompon

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date

Its fresh, delicate, and office-friendly nature, as highlighted in reviews, makes it versatile for casual wear and suitable for an office environment. However, its low sillage and longevity, also frequently mentioned, make it less ideal for formal events where a more impactful presence is desired.
