This fragrance is a passionate love letter to the most romantic city in the world. For Yves Saint Laurent Mon Paris, I have used a "Romantic, Effervescent, and Enchanting" tone to mirror the dizzying feeling of falling in love in the heart of Paris.

Yves Saint Laurent Mon Paris Eau de Parfum

Target: For Women | Character: Dazzling, Fruity-Chypre, and Passionate

The Vertigo of Love

Mon Paris is the sparkling crown jewel of YSL’s modern fragrance line. Inspired by the intensity of Paris—the capital of fashion, dreams, and romance—this scent is a bold, modern interpretation of love. It represents a passion that knows no borders and overcomes every obstacle.

Crafted by the legendary trio of Olivier Cresp, Harry Fremont, and Dora Baghriche-Arnaud, and launched in 2016, Mon Paris is designed to capture that "upside-down" feeling of a new romance. It is a fragrance that radiates happiness, charm, and a sense of freedom, inviting your soul to fall in love all over again from the very first spray.

A Dazzling and Modern Olfactory Journey

Mon Paris reinvents the classic "Chypre" structure, turning it into a "White Chypre" that is light, fruity, and incredibly seductive:

• The Opening (Top Notes): A magnificent fruit explosion. A lush mix of Strawberry, Fresh Raspberry, and Pear provides a juicy sweetness, while Calabrian Bergamot, Orange, and Mandarin add a zesty, citrusy sparkle. The inclusion of Calone adds a subtle, airy freshness.

• The Heart (Middle Notes): An extraordinary floral bouquet. At the center lies the intoxicating Datura flower, known for its hypnotic scent, surrounded by the soft elegance of Peony, Orange Blossom, and two types of Jasmine (Sambac and Chinese).

• The Signature (Base Notes): A sophisticated and seductive finish. A complex blend of Indonesian and Guatemalan Patchouli provides an earthy depth, balanced by White Musk, Ambroxan, and Cedar. A touch of Vanilla and Oakmoss ensures a creamy, elegant, and long-lasting trail.

Why Mon Paris is an Essential Classic

• A Modern Twist on Romance: It perfectly balances "sweet and fruity" with "sophisticated and earthy," making it more versatile than traditional floral scents.

• Exquisite Sillage: It is known for its beautiful "scent trail"—it isn't overwhelming, but it is deeply memorable to those around you.

• The Couture Bottle: The bottle features the iconic Lavallière bow, inspired by YSL’s high-fashion archives, representing the chic and effortless style of a Parisian woman.

• All-Season Appeal: While its fruity notes shine in spring and summer, the deep patchouli and musk base give it enough body to be worn beautifully in autumn and winter.

Expert Tip

Mon Paris is a "luminous" fragrance that reacts beautifully to the air. To enhance its romantic aura, apply it to the "pulse points" where the skin is thinnest and warmest: the wrists, behind the ears, and the base of the throat. If you want a more subtle, ethereal effect, try spraying it into the air and walking through the mist—this allows the strawberry and peony notes to settle evenly on your hair and clothes.
