Paris was created by Yves Saint Laurent as a tribute to the city of love. This mythical fragrance celebrates women in love. It is a symbol of the femininity that Yves Saint Laurent worshiped and the romance and inspiration of the city it was named after. Paris is a delicate fragrance with a warm, floral and lightly powdery character. Fresh and subtle, the floral top notes of violet, bergamot and orange blossom flirt with tenderness and happiness. The flowery and slightly powdery heart exalts the most feminine flower that nature has ever created, the May Rose or Rosa Centifolia, enhanced by the sweetness of Iris. The floral aromas are sustained in the base by the deep woody notes of sandalwood and vetiver.
