Mon Paris

Paris has always been a city cherished by the designer, and it is for this reason that several of the house's fragrances reference it. In this continuity, the very latest creation from the Yves Saint-Laurent brand is called Mon Paris. It is a floral fragrance embellished with light chypre, fruity and gourmand accents.

Paris, Yves Saint-Laurent's romantic source of inspiration

Yves Saint-Laurent has always seen Paris as a place from which to draw overflowing creativity. For him, this city is charged with passion, emotion, truth and elegance. Likewise, Paris is famous for being the city of love. It encourages people to live every moment with euphoria, while being guided by instinct, by a thirst for unprecedented experiences. This is precisely what one feels in the Mon Paris fragrance. It embodies the idea of a free and modern spirit, living out her sexuality outside of conventions and giving free rein to her emotions. It is a particularly sensual and avant-garde juice. It is as spontaneous as a fantasy, as free as a young woman can be when she is in love. With the Mon Paris fragrance, the house of Yves Saint-Laurent seems to have made a point of giving free rein to its audacity. Mon Paris is the juice of a city seized by carnal desire and yielding to mad love. Thus, it is a seductive fragrance designed for a femme fatale, yet not lacking in class and elegance for all that. In reality, its message is clear: let go and fall into the arms of a passionate love.

The contrasting scent of the Mon Paris fragrance

Mon Paris is a chypre and fruity juice created by three perfumers, namely Olivier Cresp, Dora Baghriche and Harry Fremont. It is a composition that is both subversive and innovative. It reinvents the classic chypre. To do so, two varieties of Patchouli are used. These are Patchouli from Guatemala and from Indonesia. Likewise, they are paired with three qualities of white Musk as well as Ambroxan. In this way, Mon Paris rests on a base that is both deep and of a pure, intriguing whiteness. This gives it a particularly modern and hypnotic side. What is more, Mon Paris is further enriched with Datura, a flower as feared as it is adored. It reveals a carnal scent and is accompanied by an airy Peony as well as the opulent richness of a Sambac jasmine absolute from India. Finally, the whole is further energized by tangy Bergamot from Calabria paired with Strawberry and Raspberry. As for the bottle, Mon Paris takes on a very couture silhouette, inherited from the first Paris bottle, created in 1983. It has a multi-faceted silhouette. Its thick glass reveals a sort of pink elixir within. Finally, a bow made from a delicate black silk ribbon is tied at its top. It is also adorned with two leather straps giving it a more rock edge, along with an elegant gold Cassandre.
