The heroine of Lewis Caroll’s ‘Alice in Wonderland’ off... Go
The perfume is named after Paris, the adored city of Yves Saint Laurent, who created it as a tribute to the Parisiennes he dresses and for all women in love who get sent bouquets of pastel-colored roses. "Paris" is a rose-and-violet-scented floral bouquet, a symbol of the femininity Y.S.L. worships.The creator of this potent floral fragrance, Sophia Grosjman, was inspired by the smell of vintage roses such as those which bloom in the gardens of Marrakech, one of Monsieur Y.S.L.'s fetish cities.
The opening note is composed of a garland of fresh flowers: bergamot, geranium, hawthorn.The middle note glows with the scent of mimosa, rose and violet.And it rounds off on a sensual, woody note of amber and musk.
The flacon embodies the lively bustle of Paris: a whole "city of light" shimmers in the multifaceted glass, fittingly capped with a multifacetted crystal 'diamond'.
