The elegance of Paris in a fragrance by Yves Saint-Laurent

Mon Paris is a very chic fragrance whose elegance shows through as much in its scent as in its delicate pale pink bottle dressed with an imposing black bow. It pays tribute to the French capital, a city that serves as a benchmark for style and elegance. Thus, Dora Baghriche, the perfumer who collaborated on the creation of this fragrance, states that it brings together the whole quintessence of today's Parisian women. It is intended for a passionate and free woman, with a sense of what love is, of the effects it can produce, and with a form of spontaneity in her relationship to this feeling. She adds that the goal was really to capture this elegance within a modern and more global idea, […] and to achieve a fragrance that should appeal on both sides of the Atlantic. Mon Paris thus seems to have succeeded in capturing a universal love. It is a very avant-garde and hyper-sensual fragrance. It is both independent and passionate. It reveals itself with audacity, like a mad love answering only to the law of the heart and not to that of reason. Mon Paris invites one to let go in the arms of a passionate love. It is both carnal and madly in love with intense sensations. It invites one to let go in the city of love: Mon Paris.

The subversive love contained in Mon Paris

To create this fragrance, the house of Yves Saint-Laurent called on a trio of perfumers. This is made up of Olivier Cresp, Harry Fremont and Dora Baghriche. It is an ultramodern juice reinventing the classic chypre scent. Thus, Mon Paris contains two varieties of Patchouli and plays on the nuances between Patchouli from Guatemala and that from Indonesia. Likewise, three qualities of white Musks have been incorporated into its composition. Ambroxan, for its part, contributes to bringing more purity to this fragrance. Mon Paris is a carnal and enchanting juice. It is accompanied by an airy Peony and a more opulent Sambac jasmine from India. Datura flower, for its part, brings a more carnal side to the whole. Nevertheless, Patchouli makes the whole more androgynous. Finally, Mon Paris draws all its energy from an opening containing Bergamot from Calabria paired with fruity tones. What is more, Mon Paris is full of Strawberry, Raspberry and juicy Pear. Olivier Cresp likes to say of his fragrance that it is very luminous but that it also has an addictive side, that gets one hooked. Like today's romantic relationships where people text each other all day long…
