Sophia Grojsman crafted Parisienne Édition Singulière by Yves Saint Laurent, launched in 2013, as a modern interpretation of feminine elegance. The composition opens with the vibrant sweetness of blueberry and cranberry before diving into a heart of damask rose and violet. This floral fruity accord then settles on a woody base of vetiver and sandalwood, creating a balance between freshness and warmth. The addition of vinyl gives it an unexpected edge, making this fragrance feel both classic and contemporary.

Application Tips
Apply this fragrance to pulse points for a lingering effect. The fruity top notes are bright but fade quickly, so layering with the woody base will ensure it lasts throughout the day. It reads best in cooler weather when its warm base notes can truly shine.

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.
