The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2004, Paris Roses des Bois by Yves Saint Laurent is a floral fruity fragrance that captures the essence of refined elegance. The composition opens with fresh florals like rose and violet, leading to a heart of lily-of-the-valley and orange blossom before settling into a musky and woody base of sandalwood. This fragrance embodies the delicate balance between freshness and warmth, offering a subtle yet captivating scent that is quintessentially Yves Saint Laurent.

How to wear it

Apply one or two sprays to pulse points for a delicate yet lasting aroma. The top notes are bright and fresh but fade within a couple of hours, giving way to the warm, enveloping base notes that last throughout the day.
