The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2016 by Yves Saint Laurent, Paris Premieres Roses 2016 is a Floral Woody Musk fragrance that captures the essence of Parisian elegance. The composition opens with fresh notes of rose hip and violet leaf, giving way to a heart of damask rose, lily-of-the-valley, and peony. This floral bouquet is anchored by a warm base of white musk and sandalwood, creating a harmonious blend that feels both modern and lasting.
The fragrance is as much about the city it's named after as it is about its ingredients — evoking the refined atmosphere of Parisian boutiques where fresh florals mingle with subtle musky undertones.
Paris Premieres Roses 2016 is best applied lightly — the ozonic freshness of the opening can be overpowering if used too heavily. The fragrance develops slowly over time, so it pairs well with a long evening out or a day in the city.
