Parisienne A L'Extreme by Yves Saint Laurent was launched in 2010 as a bold extension of the house's signature elegance. Crafted by perfumers Sophia Grojsman and Sophie Labbé, this fragrance opens with the bright zest of blackberry before diving into the heart-piercing floral notes of rose and violet. The base is a rich blend of suede, musk, patchouli, vanilla, incense, and daim, creating an intense and seductive experience that exudes temptation and mystery. The composition is designed to captivate with its powdery and intoxicating aromas, blending floral-fruity notes with warm and enigmatic accords.

How It Wears
Application Tips
Apply two sprays to your pulse points for an immediate hit of blackberry at the top. The fragrance will settle into its musky, floral heart within an hour, so give it time to develop on your skin before layering again if needed. It's best suited for evenings or special occasions when you want a scent that lingers and captivates.

Founding perfumer · 55 fragrances · American
As a child, in Belarus, this perfume queen-to-be would run around the garden smelling roses and jasmine, leaving her toys untouched, dismissed. After studying chemistry at university, she emigrated to New York and joined the IFF laboratories where she learned the art of perfumery under the guidance of Ernest Shiftan, one of the greatest American perfumers in history. Sophia was the first perfumer to inverse classical proportions of ingredients in perfumes, having discovered that an overdose of a certain ingredient could propel it to the top of the perfume’s structure. She combined this revolutionary technique with classical perfume structures to create a truly unique aesthetic, one that was to forever shape the art of perfume making. She was also well-known for her endless fascination with rose, a flower she uses in most of her creations. At Frédéric Malle’s request, she applied herself for the first time to the art of scented candles.
