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 - Emulation For Women EDP
Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Parisienne - a fruity fragrance led by Cranberry, Blackberry, with woody depth. Expect a softer, closer-to-skin take on the original - the signature intact, the projection gentler.

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.

Emulation For Women

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Best in spring and summer - the fruity, woody profile suits those conditions, while extremes of heat or cold flatten the dupe's lighter composition.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Sport

Keep it for casual and daily - the fruity accord gives presence while the gentle projection keeps it crowd-friendly.
