After having managed the Christian Dior creations, the young Yves Saint Laurent opened his fashion house, of the same name, with the help of his friend, Pierre Bergé. Non-conformist and provocative, Yves Saint Laurent immediately stood out. He released a first perfume in 1969, but it was not until the second, Rive Gauche, released in 1971, for the YSL brand entered the world of perfumery. Among the greatest olfactory successes of the YSL house, we note Baby Doll, L’Homme, la Nuit de l’Homme, Cinema, Kouros, Opium, Parisienne and even Paris. The latter was created in 1983 and represents the couturier’s love for the capital.
Paris, Yves Saint Laurent’s homage to the City of Light
The ultra floral tones of Paris YSL
If Paris is the fragrance of Parisiennes, it is above all a chic and luminous fragrance, like the City of Light. Like a declaration of love for the city that allowed him to exist as a couturier, Paris by YSL is a true declaration of love, an eternal tribute to the beauty of the city that Yves Saint Laurent loved so much. He will not hesitate to say “To offer a perfume to Paris, a prestigious Paris which dazzles.” Your flames and crackles of fireworks make the world sparkle. For this new perfume, it is your name that I chose because there is none more beautiful.
Because I love you, My Paris ”… Signed Sophie Grosjman, the composition begins with the association of bergamot, geranium, hyacinth and aupbine. Its heart is a true concentrate of floral essences and harmoniously blends rose, lily of the valley, violet, iris and orange blossom.

My Paris, an eternal love
The ultra chic bottle of Mon Paris
In 2016, YSL pushes its love for the capital even further with the Mon Paris version . With this new Parisian fragrance, the entire YSL house is in the spotlight, its know-how as well as its exceptional talent. The American press has even called YSL “King of Paris”. If it still symbolizes Yves Saint Laurent’s eternal love for the City of Light, the Mon Paris fragrance is a dazzling and contemporary essence. The Mon Paris bottle is reinvented in a much more modern setting. Always so luminous and elegant, the bottle of Mon Paris is here more refined than for its predecessor. Her silhouette seems very worked, like a diamond.
The multifaceted appearance, even if it is less important than that of its elder, reflects the outside light perfectly well. Finally, the black bow worn around its collar gives this bottle an unprecedented glamor side. Here, the knot takes the form of a black openwork ribbon. The “Lavallière” bow is the emblem of the YSL house, a logo which is delicately applied to the same bow. This is where the pale pink color of the nectar offers a final touch of femininity. The composition begins with the association of bergamot, raspberry and pear. Its combines jasmine, peony, datura flower and orange blossom. Finally, the base combines white musks, ambroxan and patchouli.

Mon Paris Couture, l’édition Couture du parfum Mon Paris
Une nouvelle histoire parisienne avec Mon Paris Couture YSL
Afin de lier son métier de couturier et son amour pour Paris, la brand YSL dévoile une nouvelle déclinaison avec Mon Paris Couture. Mon Paris Couture se définit comme un parfum particulièrement frais, floral et citronné. Il débute par une association d’agrumes, composée de bergamote, de pamplemousse et de mandarine, associés à la framboise et au litchi. Son cœur conjugue le datura, la fleur d’oranger, la pivoine blanche et l’infusion de la rose. Enfin, la composition s’achève par une association de patchouli, de musc blanc, de cachemire et d’ambroxan.
Si le flacon reprend les principaux codes de ses ainés, le verre est composé de multiples facettes qui renvoient parfaitement bien la lumière. La lavallière en cuir est toujours nouée au sommet de son flacon et rattachée à une élégante cassandre argentée portant les initiales de la brand. Seul le ruban de satin a troqué ici, son ancienne couleur, contre un joli motif à pois noirs et blancs.
Sorti en 1983, Paris est le symbole olfactif de la capitale, chère au cœur d’Yves Saint Laurent. Entre Rive Gauche, Paris, Mon Paris ou encore la Parisienne, le couturier a réalisé de nombreuses fragrances pour prouver son amour inconditionnel. Paris a donné naissance à des déclinaisons, fraiches, belles et surtout romantiques, à l’image de la Ville lumière.
