The story behind the bottle.
Parisienne Eau de Toilette by Yves Saint Laurent was launched in 2010 and created by perfumers Sophie Labbé and Sophia Grojsman. This fragrance is a Floral Aldehyde composition that blends rose, aldehydes, and aquatic notes into an intricate bouquet of freshness and warmth. The opening is bright with aldehydic and ozonic accents, while the heart introduces delicate florals like lily-of-the-valley and iris, which are enhanced by the powdery softness of violet leaf. As it settles, Parisienne Eau de Toilette reveals a musky base that adds depth without overpowering the lighter notes above.
Apply one or two sprays to your pulse points — this fragrance blooms best close to skin. The aldehydic and ozonic top notes are fleeting but impactful, so you might want to reapply after a few hours for the full effect.
