Yves Saint Laurent · Eau de toilette

Fragrances that smell like Paris

Paris by Yves Saint Laurent is an eau de toilette that opens on mimosa, hyacinth and geranium and settles into iris, heliotrope and sandalwood. It reads mostly floral and clean on our scent profile, at a moderate strength. Its least common notes on our list are lily-of-the-valley and lime blossom, in the floral family. Below are the closest on our list. Similar isn't identical, so try a sample before a full bottle if you can.
