Parisienne by YSL is a fragrance that I've tried a few times. The first time I hated it. The second time I thought it was rather nice. Today - I'm thinking that it's okay, but definitely not one for me.
Parisienne is such a lovely name for a fragrance, that you want to love it, and daydream about Paris.
According to the YSL website there are three main notes to Parisienne: Blackberry Damask Rose and Sandalwood.
Ultimately Parisienne is simply a sweet a rose fragrance, but a bit too sweet and a bit too cloying. If you're looking for something that is based on rose, but with a modern 'sparkling' twist, then try Nude by Stella McCartney.

Yea, Parisienne is a strange one. I was ambivilent about it for ages but ultimately I decided, like you, that it was just too sweet and too cloying. I was also strangely irritated by their decision to use Kate Moss as the face of Parisienne. Let's face it, she's as London as they come!!! Surely someone like Marion Cotillard would have been appropriate for a product called PARISIENNE?? But that's just me...
Hi Beautiful Things,
Know what you mean about Kate Moss. Parisienne is a quirky fragrance. It's almost there, but not quite.
