"...I have chosen your name for this perfume, because none is more beautiful. Because I love you. My Paris." Yves Saint Laurent
Paris is the eternal city of lovers and so many perfumes have been inspired by the energy, life and romance that flows in its streets.
The perfume claims to capture the spirit of an intense love affair and urges you to seize the moment; transcend the present; and prepare to fall head over heels into the arms of a passionate love.

According to YSL the notes are:
Top: Pear & Red Fruits
Be exhilarated with the freshness of raspberry and strawberry accords combined with the juicy crispness of pear
Heart: Datura Orchid & White Flowers
Feel the head-spin with the forbidden radiance of Datura orchid, bathed in the spell-binding luminosity of white flowers which vibrate through the fragrance, amplifying the luminous patchouli
Base: Patchouli & White Musk
Lose your senses in a burst of white musks On my skin it opens very bright and fizzy, strawberries and raspberries dancing together with patchouli and juicy pears, vibrant and joyful. It settles quickly into a mix of lovely white flowers with the Datura orchid being slightly more prominent with the jasmin while patchouli still remains vivid on the skin. Finally after a few hours it settles to a beautiful skin scent musk and patchouli beautifully combined and balanced.Overall it is a lovely chypre floral perfume, housed in a gorgeous bottle, bright airy and joyful. Maybe it is not a ground breaking creation but it is lovely, easily wearable and quite frankly all the times I wore it, it just made me happy! YSL Mon Paris is available as a 30, 50 and 90 ml Eau de Parfum. Mon Paris was created by Olivier Cresp, Harry Fremont and Dora Baghriche-Arnaud.
