About
Paris by Yves Saint Laurent is a Floral fragrance for women. Paris was launched in 1983. The nose behind this fragrance is Sophia Grojsman. Top notes are Rose, Mimosa, Hiacynth, Geranium, Green Notes, Orange Blossom, Nasturtium, Hawthorn, Bergamot and Cassia; middle notes are Rose, Violet, Lily, Ylang-Ylang, Lime Blossom, Lily-of-the-Valley, Jasmine and Orris Root; base notes are Iris, Heliotrope, Musk, Sandalwood, Oakmoss, Amber and Cedar. The perfume is named after Paris, the adored city of Yves Saint Laurent, who created it as a tribute to the Parisiennes who are always elegant, romantic, vivacious, ironic, simple and charming. Paris is a brilliant harmony of roses and violet flowers. This woody-floral starts with bergamot and violet, followed my may rose and iris at its heart, ending with sensational warmth of sandalwood. It was created in 1983. Here you can watch an advertising video for Paris by YSL.
