Clean Scent
This perfume has a very clean scent. It is not over powering at all. I got lot of compliments when I wore it.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Old Lady Floral
My first thought upon smelling this was "old lady" and even after several hours, it still makes me think of an older woman. The rose and other floral notes are quite dominant (as opposed to the vinyl accord), and now days rose-dominated scents are rather old-fashioned. It's not bad; but if you want a floral perfume there are far more interesting ones on the market.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Sophisticated and Sensual
I was very excited to review my sample of YSL's Parisienne. I found it to be sophisticated and quietly sensual which is how I imagine many European women to be. This fragrance has a subtle sensuality that lingers after the dry-down period. The hint of berries keeps the sandalwood from becoming overpowering and it, in turn, keeps the rose from becoming too cloying. This is not a sweet, girly or...read more flashy fragrance. It's understated and elegant. I wish it lasted a bit longer, but we can't have everything, can we? On a side note: my friend's daughter's allergies did not kick into over drive when I wore Parisienne and she is very sensitive to fragrance. (I use her as my test subject frequently.) As I approach owning nearly 30 full-size bottles of a variety of fragrances at all price points and all types, I can guarantee that Parisienne will be on my wish list. The holidays are fast approaching!This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

Sexy and sensual
Don't just love Paris in the springtime, love it in the fall, too! Fronted by Kate Moss, YSL's brand-new fragrance, Parisienne, is so sexy and sensual, you'll want to drop the clutch and carry your oversize along so you can keep it on hand. Blackberry, damask rose and sandalwood make it mysterious and your new favorite scent this season. Try it and you'll be hooked. YSL rehab, anyone?This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Nice Fragrance
I received a sample of this and immediately sprayed some on my wrist. It is different but nice. I like woodsy, floral scents. The fragrance is not strong, which is good because I can easily get a headache from perfumes that are too over powering. However, it isn't exactly light either. It lasted for a good while and I found myself smelling my wrist throughout the day.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Be Patient the Dry Down is Lovely
I'll admit i was immediately put off when i smelled this scent and it had an overwhelming powdery smell to it. It instantly reminded me on a preteen of young girl's fragrance like Love's Baby Soft. Not a bad scent just not a scent of a sophisticated adult women. But the scent opens up and you start to smell the red berries accord cranberries to me anyway. The Rose and violet scent in the beginning...read more starts to become more complex. And you the woodsy smell of the sandalwood. The dry down is a lovely Rosey violet with a hint of woodsy and berry accords. It's feminine and sexy without being dramatic and overstated. I enjoy this scent but you have to be patient to get to the good smell.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Pretty floral scent
This has a pretty floral scent. It is very femanine, but not exactly my style. I tend to like more spicy sexy scents when I wear perfume. I also found that it did not last very long on me. I think the smell was gone in about three hours which seemed kind of fast to me. If you like very sweet floral femanine smelling perfume then give this a try. I personally would not purchase this scent.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Lightly scented
I tried a sample of YSL Parisienne, and expected it to be a strong scent. However, from the moment I sprizted it on, the scent was extremely light. I smelled the berry notes first, followed by the sandalwood and a hint of rose. Overall, this scent is too light and the smell could be better in my opinion. If you're not a fan of perfume and want something that is not overpowering, then Parisienne is...read more a good choice. Otherwise, I would recommend going with another perfume if you want a scent that will get noticed and stick around throughout the day/night.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful
