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 EDP
This is a clean, fresh, and surprisingly modern rose, far from your granny's potpourri. It's a crowd-pleaser for rose lovers who want something vibrant and wearable, though some find it a bit too linear for their taste.

Parisienne

Occasions

Best For:

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.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual
