Parisienne

by Sophie Labbé , Sophia Grojsman

Yves Saint Laurent Parisienne is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2009, created by Sophie Labbé and Sophia Grojsman. The fragrance opens with Blackberry, Cranberry, and Vinyl, settles into a heart of Rose, Violet, and Peony, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Sandalwood, Patchouli, and Musk.

Our verdict on Parisienne: Statement

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.

Best Seasons

Best For:

Also Works:
Summer Fall

A spring fragrance - light, bright, made for the warmer turn of the year.

Best 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.

About

Opening with a juicy burst of blackberry and cranberry, Parisienne quickly introduces an intriguing vinyl note that adds an edgy, almost patent-leather sheen to the composition. This unconventional opening mellows into a heart of powdery violet, soft peony, and a clean, modern rose. As it dries down, a subtle blend of creamy sandalwood, earthy vetiver, and a whisper of musk grounds the playful florals, maintaining its unexpected character.
