Very Pretty
Well, I have to agree with the younger members here that this scent is probably not for them. However, since I am 'old', I like it! I'm very bad at describing scents but the first thing that came to mind when I spritzed this on was the color purple. If purple had a scent, this would be it. It is very sweet but not over-powering, which is good a lot of perfumes give me a headache. Not terribly long-lasting, but it dries to a subtle, powdery scent. Classic.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

"Feminine & Romantic"
I really like YSL Parisienne! I love how the Damask rose mixes with berries. I think the rose gives this fragrance a classic appeal, while the berries give it a touch of youth. It's definetely a fragrance for someone who loves classics! This fragrance lasts a long time, and it will slowly fade into a light scent. I love how feminine the scent is, and how the damask rose gives it a romantic touch. ...read moreI can see women of all ages wearing this fragrance, but particulary women in their 30's or above. The more I wear this fragrance, the more I enjoy it!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

Ok, but too sweet for me.
I tried the sample of this parfum, and it is not for me. If you like a sweet scent, it may be right for you. I prefer a fresher, cleaner scent. I would not purchase it myself, but others may like it. It did seem to last quite a while.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Smells good.
I received a sample of Yves Parisienne in the mail. I was pretty excited to try it because I have never tried this brand before, which sounded classic and "frenchy." I really like it. Though I do think that it would be for someone much older than I, I really like the flower-woodsy smell. I was hesitant about trying it for fear that it would be too overwhelming, but it is a soft perfume....read more It stayed on for a long time too, so that was also a plus. I would buy it, but not anytime soon as I think it is geared towards an older audience.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Not my signature fragrance
I work in healthcare, and cannot wear a fragrance that is too overwhelming. This fragrance is light, but still not something I would get for myself. The first scent I noticed with the first spritz was roses...and I do like roses, but only in a live floral bouquet, not in a lotion, cosmetic or fragrance. I also noticed peony and violet, which alone are nice, but the mixture was not for me.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

Too strong; reminds me of gramma
As a twenty one year old, I can't see myself wearing this perfume. It has too strong a scent that gives me a headache even after an hour- and I didn't over-applicate. This perfume reminds me of the way my decrepit substitute teacher wore in high school. Overall a better fragrance for an older age group. Its mixture of flowery and musky hues is not my type. It is overbearing even in small amoun...read morets. i would maybe buy this for my grandmother for Christmas because the packaging is beautiful.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

Not bad, just not for me
When I first sprayed it on, it smelled like the inside of a Hallmark store...like potpourri or something. After awhile, the rose scent came through which is what made me decide the scent wasn't for me. As many other reviewers have indicated, it seems like more of a scent for an older woman.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

A DAINTY LIGHT FLORAL SCENT
I RECEIVED A SAMPLE OF THIS PERFUME IN THE MAIL A FEW DAYS AGO TO TRY. I LIKE HOW THEY SENT THE SAMPLE BC IT DID NOT COME IN YOUR AVERAGE EVERYDAY PERFUME SAMPLE TUBE, IT CAME IN MORE OF A SPRAY AND I LIKE THAT. AFTER APPLIED I SMELT A LIGHT FLORAL SCENT, IT MADE ME THINK OF OTHER PERFUMES THAT I'VE SMELLED THAT BELONGED TO MY GRANDMOTHER. BUT THE SCENT ALMOST CHANGES, THE LIGHT FLOWER SMELL LASTS...read more FOR A LITTLE WHILE, BUT AS IT FADES AWAY I NOTICED THAT MY WRIST SMELLED LIKE A FAMILIAR SCENT THAT I OFTEN SMELT WHILE WALKING IN THE WOODS. I CAN SEE WHY SOME MAY LIKE THIS PERFUME BUT ITS JUST NOT FOR ME!!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 1 people said helpful

I absolutely love this fragrance!
This ultra feminine fragrance is for any woman who knows how to “live and love in the moment.†The scent reminds me to capture moments of pure joy in whatever I am doing, just like I did while enjoying the city, culture and food of Paris. It’s a beautiful way to be reminded! So much better than a string on my finger! This is my favorite fragrance!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful
