When matched with clean patchouli (this isn't the dirtier variety) it feels familiar and dare I say it.

This means that the product can only be used in the following way: 2 presses of the atomiser counted from the moment the perfume mist comes out of it. Something about the heavy jasmine, heavy patchouli, and the cedar just made this scent wayyy too strong and, well, heavy on me. It’s brash and not rounded at all, it’s trying so hard to be it-girl but she needs some grounding, an ego death is what it needs. I only describe how it smells to me (and yes, I did wear this multiple times to see how it developed).

It even makes my tongue feel fleetingly like I've just licked my flavored lip balm-coated lips and there's a balmy residue. This could even pass for the fall and summer, just be careful in the heat cause it may come off cloying. lasts all day long, most likely suits better during the night but works regardless of the time of day. Mon Paris is a fragrance which urges you to seize the moment; transcend the present; and prepare to fall head over heels into the arms of a passionate love. She brushes herself off and sails on to victory and romantic conquest, with the help of a friend or two, a little wiser and more gracious for it in the end.

Capturing the spirit of an intense love affair,YSL Beauté introduces Mon Paris perfume - a new expression of love today, inspired by the city of lovers, Paris. I'd say this would be an amazing option for a signature scent: fits every occasion, it's elegant and easy to like which is perfect for everyday wear but seductive enough to be worn on nicer occasions too.
