The story behind the bottle.
Paris Premieres Roses 2012 by Yves Saint Laurent was launched in 2012 as an ode to the city's floral heritage, blending a vibrant bouquet of roses with delicate white florals and powdery nuances. The fragrance opens with the bright freshness of Hamanasu or Japanese Rose, which is immediately softened by the subtle sweetness of violet and orange blossom. As it develops, the composition reveals layers of lily-of-the-valley and peony, creating a lush floral blend that settles into a warm base of white musk and sandalwood, adding depth and comfort.
Apply a light mist to your pulse points; the fragrance’s floral heart blooms after about an hour. It reads best close to skin rather than filling the room, so let it develop naturally throughout the day.
