The good people from Total Beauty once again have given me the privilege to test out a new product. This time around, it’s a perfume by Yves Saint Laurent (YSL) – Parisienne.
I bet most of you may have seen the ad to this popular perfume. Supermodel and fashionista Kate Moss is the face of it. As usual, I was thrilled when Total Beauty announced that they were going to send me a bottle of 50ml YSL Parisienne perfume. In fact, they were very timely. My favourite scent – Elizabeth Arden Green Tea, is only a few sprays from finishing.
Now, if you have seen the YSL Parisienne ad starring Kate Moss in tight black leather suit, I would have expected that the first thought that comes into your mind about the Parisienne is that it is not a perfume for the sweet girl-next-door. As you know, Kate Moss is also the face of high street fashion – Topshop. Therefore, sweet doesn’t cut out for it.
Surprisingly, the Parisienne is all about sweetness and feminity. Although at first whiff, my sister thought it smelt like one of my uncle’s cologne, while I think it was just too strong for me as compared to my favourite Green Tea scent. You see, rose scents were never particularly popular with me as most of them try too hard to be the real thing.
As for the Parisienne, surprisingly, it started off strong, but gradually you only sniff subtle hint of roses. The scent is sweet and very feminine just like me. 
Also, I like its bottle’s packaging.
A grand floral with a woody structure, luminous even in its mystery, Parisienne is the perfume of ultra feminity, warmed by the touch of the man who embraced her.
