About this fragrance
Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.
Yves Saint Laurent Paris (1983) is a floral powerhouse built on an unusually dense pyramid. The top opens with a garden's worth of notes: rose, mimosa, hyacinth, geranium, green notes, orange blossom, nasturtium, bergamot, hawthorn, and cassia. That green-floral burst quickly gives way to a heart of rose, violet, lily, lime blossom, ylang-ylang, lily-of-the-valley, jasmine, and orris root. The base settles into iris, heliotrope, musk, sandalwood, oakmoss, amber, and cedar, leaving a powdery, floral trail that defines the scent's character.
Collectors who love vintage powdery florals will find Paris a benchmark. Its 100% powdery and floral accords, with prominent rose (86%) and violet (70%), make it ideal for those who appreciate a full-bodied, old-school bouquet. The green and yellow floral facets add lift, preventing it from becoming cloying. This is a fragrance for someone who enjoys wearing a statement floral—best suited for cooler weather or evening wear, and a must-try for anyone exploring 1980s French perfumery.
