Yves Saint Laurent Paris Eau de Parfum 75ml Spray is the original 1983 floral declaration of love to the City of Light — a luminous, romantic and unapologetically rose-led eau de parfum composed by Sophia Grojsman. A perfumery icon of the 1980s, YSL Paris remains one of the most romantic and feminine rose-violet fragrances ever created.

Character
Paris opens with a powdery-fresh burst of violet and damask rose, lifted by green geranium and a touch of bergamot. The heart is the unmistakable signature — an opulent rose-violet duet built around May rose and violet, layered with lily-of-the-valley, hyacinth and ylang-ylang for a richly feminine, almost couture-like bouquet. A soft drydown of sandalwood, amber and musk extends the wear with a powdery, romantic warmth.
Who it's for
This 75ml eau de parfum is for romantic-floral enthusiasts and lovers of classical rose-violet perfumery. It particularly suits those who favour soft-powdery, feminine fragrances over fresh or gourmand styles, and is wonderful for evening events, weddings and special occasions where a timelessly elegant scent is wanted.
How to use
- Spray onto pulse points — wrists, behind the ears, base of the throat — after moisturising
- Hold the bottle 15–20 cm from the skin and apply 2–3 short presses
- Let the fragrance dry naturally without rubbing the wrists together
- Mist a final spray into the hair or onto a scarf for a longer trail
- Re-apply lightly through the day or before evenings out
