To this day, perfume is another complement to beauty and the perfumes factoryes they know, all a creative
discourse that turns around it. An identity, an attitude, a unique personality:
perfume becomes an object full of art in many ways.
The perfume Paris of Yves Saint Laurent
Paris has already completed its 35 years of life.
However, it still has a lot of pull in the industry. Today it’s a classic
floral fragrance that remains a reference for many women, a perfume that never
goes out of style.
"Paris" takes care of its presence and good
taste. It is the great platonic love of thousands of perfumers around the
world, including its creator, Yves Saint Laurent.
What does the perfume represent?
Paris represents sophistication, the elegance of the
Parisian woman that is represented by fresh flowers. The intentions of the
perfume are very clear.
Paris is the most magical city in all of France,
thanks to its passionate appeal. The city reaches its maximum splendour during
the spring season, when the streets are filled with flowers, colours and a very
optimistic romanticism that can be seen in any corner of the city.
This is why the great Yves decided to create a perfume
that would represent this beautiful city. When you look at its creativity, its
bottle, etc ... everything leads to a fragile and harmless fragrance. However,
appearances are not always as we expect. "Paris" is a radical and
scandalous, complex, passionate, romantic and very powerful fusion.
Life at the cafeteria, the whispering of people, the
famous gardens and the well-known boulevards ... are a challenge that Yves
Saint Laurent had to assume and transport to a single fragrance. And he
achieved it.
How does Paris smell Like?
It is not just a simple flower scent. It has a really expanded, frothy
and very dramatic nature. When you smell a breath of "Paris" you will
imagine a voluminous bouquet of roses ... pink roses.
The perfume doesn’t only work with roses, you will notice it. Pink
colour is the idea that comes to mind. Everything is sweet and intense, a
bourgeoisie with a funny and burlesque touch.
It is a perfume that belongs to the Olfactory Floral Woody Musk family.
It consists of Head Notes such as wild rose; its Heart Notes are formed by
roses, violets, orange blossom, lily of the valley, peony and bell; finally,
the Base Notes are sandalwood and white musk.
Everything revolves around roses as main protagonists of the aroma,
sharing that exclusivity with the violet, giving it a creamy sensation.
Paris is stormy, with a strong personality inside, unpredictable and
rewarding. On the skin of some people, the most dominant note is the violet
instead of the rose.
The interesting thing is how well it is balanced. It is not dense
despite being a strong perfume; thanks to the roses and violets that aren’t
powdered specially for the occasion. Although it has an eighties touch, it has
managed to survive during all these years. For young people, it could be a big
surprise if they gave it a try.
