I love this perfum

I love Paris the perfume and also de Eau de Toilette. Of course the perfume lasts longer than de Eau de toilette... but the essence is so soft and delicate that I always have to buy one or the other. Use it for many many years.

I used PARIS for many years. The scent is not quite the same

I was disappointed. The scent is there but very very weak. Have to spray & spray & still does not last as in the past. The Paris in the past needed only one or 2 sprays & lasted all day!! I'm disappointed but did not return.

Not the same as long before

I am in my mid 43s and used to wear this in my 20s, as my mother introduced me to this, because she wore it often. I was excited to find this on this site and immediately purchased it. Sadly, as some of the other reviewers noted, this is not the same smell and it does not list. It has more similarities to the original smell. However, there is a slight difference, as I remember the original smell being more sweeter, with a powdery/flower mix. Additionally, the scent lasted all day. This one does not. This still has a nice smell, but only lasts a couple of hours and then it's gone. This is something that I would expect from the eau de toilette, not the parfum. I am disappointed with the product and the price. Whatever has changed did not improve the product. YSL still has other products that are wonderful.

Paris YSL

Had this years ago, smelt beautiful. Bought some recently and so disappointed with it . Smells like it's gone off and something my elderly relatives would wear. Not how I remember it at all

Yes. I have bought this fragrance for years now.

I have worn Paris for years now. Every time I wear it, I get so many compliments. One time at a restaurant, a young girl followed me out of the restaurant and asked what was the name of the fragrance I had on. That happens so often. I always ask if it is overpowering to them and the answer is always no. I get headaches from strong fragrances myself, so I always want to know if they get it from what I am wearing it. My husband loves it too, he always compliments me. I have given it to many of my friends, because they love it on me, and I am happy to say, my daughter uses it also. It is ageless and fits the young and the older women. Thank you for such a great creation!

My daughter introduced me to Paris Perfum in the 1980s

I would like to use Paris Eau de Parfum every day. After many years, it is still my favourite perfume. I have tried many others but keep coming back to Paris Eau de Parfum. If only it were cheaper! It has become a luxury for me, now that I am retired.

The Real Deal

I had a bad experience ordering Paris from a popular auction website. I got a knock-off instead of the real thing. Money wasted -- I couldn't wear it! Plus I was afraid to order again, afraid I'd get ripped off again. I'm so glad to have found Perfume.com. Problem solved!

Details and Care

Yves Saint Laurent Paris perfume for women is like Paris in a bottle. It is a great representation of this French city with its fun and flirty aura. This is a vintage fragrance that first debuted in 1983. It is glamorous and sophisticated. It has a retro feel, but it is classic enough to work for the modern woman.

This perfume is fashionable and romantic. It mixes floral and spice in a fresh way. It is unexpected and a great representation of youth from the hands of creator Sophia Grojsman.

Questions and Answers

Q: How does YSL Paris perfume smell?

A: There is a lot going on in Paris perfume for women, but the blending is done in such an expert way that it works perfectly. The top notes pack in a range of florals that the heart continues. The base adds in touches of woody notes. It is heady and flirty. The Yves Saint Laurent perfume's profile is charming and vivacious. It comes across as elegant while also being brilliant. Ironically, despite the many notes in this profile, it is simple. That speaks to the craftsmanship.

Q: Where do you apply Paris?

A: To increase the longevity of the women's fragrance, spray onto your major pulse points such as behind your ears, at the base of your neck, on the wrists, behind the knees and in the inner elbows.

Q: What is the fragrance concentration of Paris?

A: YSL Paris is an eau de toilette. This provides a lighter wear, which is essential with so many notes in the blend. Be cautious about applying too much in an attempt to get a stronger smell, as it will distort the profile and could backfire easily. Despite a light strength, it still smells bold after application.

Q: Is it for him or her?

A: This scent is for her. However, with its fresh and fun personality, Paris perfume is something that can work for anyone.

Q: Does Yves Saint Laurent Paris last long?

A: This feminine fragrance lasts up to four hours. It may be possible to get more wear by applying to hair and clothing. Doing this helps to avoid the issues with heat and dry skin that can dull the oils quickly.

Q: What fragrances smell similar?

A: Check out Emilie by Fragonard, Monaco by Milton-Lloyd, and Élysée by O Boticario for similar women's fragrances.

Q: What season should I wear is?

A: This perfume matches well with spring. It is, after all, all about Paris, a city known for its awakening and life during this season of warmth and forals.

Q: Where can I buy it?

A: Perfume.com is perhaps one of the best online fragrance retailers because we offer the widest selection of authentic perfumes and colognes, competitive pricing and top-notch customer service.
