About this fragrance
Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.
YSL Old Paris (1983) is a floral tour de force built on an unusually dense pyramid. The top alone layers rose, mimosa, hyacinth, geranium, green notes, orange blossom, nasturtium, bergamot, hawthorn, and cassia—a burst that reads as both dewy and spicy. As it settles, the heart expands with rose, violet, lily, lime blossom, ylang-ylang, lily-of-the-valley, jasmine, and orris root, creating a bouquet that is lush yet restrained. The base of iris, heliotrope, musk, sandalwood, oakmoss, amber, and cedar anchors the florals in a soft, powdery embrace.
Collectors who love vintage powdery florals—think rose and violet over a mossy, resinous bed—will find this compelling. It suits those who appreciate complex, old-school compositions that evolve slowly on skin. Best worn in cooler weather or evening, when its richness can unfold without turning heavy. A true artifact of early 1980s French perfumery.
中文簡介
YSL Old Paris(1983)以極繁複的花香結構聞名。前調融合玫瑰、含羞草、風信子、天竺葵、綠葉、橙花、金蓮花、佛手柑、山楂與桂皮,綻放清新又帶辛香的氣息。中調由玫瑰、紫羅蘭、百合、椴樹花、依蘭、鈴蘭、茉莉與鳶尾根交織,豐盈卻不失克制。基調以鳶尾、天芥菜、麝香、檀香、橡苔、琥珀與雪松收尾,將花香包裹在柔軟的粉質氛圍中。
適合鍾情古典粉質花香、欣賞複雜且緩慢演變的香水愛好者。推薦於涼爽季節或夜晚使用,讓其層次從容展開而不顯厚重。是1980年代初法國香水的經典代表。

Price ranges are compiled from our own recorded transactions, not from asking prices.
A batch code cannot prove authenticity on its own, but it can expose contradictions — a code that decodes to a date before the fragrance existed, or a bottle and box that disagree.
