Eden Perfumes No.404 Paris is an Eau de Parfum. No.404 Paris opens with Green, Bergamot, and Rose, settles into a heart of White Floral, Iris, and Violet, and dries down to a base of Woody, Musk, and Powdery. Eden Perfumes's No.404 Paris carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

Eden's No.404 chases YSL Paris's iconic rose-violet bouquet - a bright, green-tinged rose over a powdery violet heart. It's a fair likeness of the classic's opening hours but thins out sooner, missing some of the original's rich, honeyed depth as it dries down.

About

YSL Paris is a 1980s icon built around an almost impossibly lush rose and violet accord, cut with green top notes and settled onto a soft, powdery woody base - the kind of Parisian elegance that's inspired dozens of tributes since. Eden's No.404 captures that structure well: a crisp green-rose opening leads into a fuzzy violet-iris heart that's instantly recognisable as this genre of fragrance. Where it diverges is staying power - the real Paris famously blooms for hours and clings to fabric, while this version's rose-violet accord softens into a simpler powdery musk much sooner. It still reads as romantic and distinctly feminine, well suited to daytime wear through spring and summer, though it won't carry into an evening the way the original does. A budget-friendly way to enjoy the silhouette of a genuine classic without the vintage price tag or dwindling stock of the original formulation.
