Which Should You Buy?
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.
This one's a definite love-it-or-hate-it, with some finding it a beautiful, sophisticated peach-rose while others are getting dated aquatic toilet cleaner. Kilian have certainly stirred the pot with Her Majesty.

Occasions
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.
