fragrance world, for the woman who refuses to grow up. Without being sickly sweet it manages to be fresh, fruity and unashamedly girly. Sophisticated it ain't, but it will put a smile on your face and a spring in your step, however far from your girlish youth you may be.
city of inspiration and love. Paris speaks to every woman, everywhere. The fragrance is a romantic symphony, a perfect orchestration of 232 notes blended with superb artistry. Like a lavish bouquet, Paris? deepening chords of rose petal notes make this fragrance all the richer in its expression of warmth and affection
...It happens the same way every time, an attractive, chic young woman passes me and in her wake is a dreamy odour which catches me so unaware I think to myself, "I must ask what perfume she is wearing". So I do and she replies, "Paris". "Arrh yes," I say, "I love that perfume."
So it has been for me ever since in 1983 when YvesSaintLaurent launched Paris Perfume. With its sweet pink top, box and dimpled bottle this refined flowery aroma is an extremely feminine blend of mimosa, orange flower, rose, moss, sandalwood, and amber. It has staying power plus.
A womans fragrance that He will adore

... PARIS - YvesSaintLaurent
I just adore the perfumes of YvesSaintLaurent. There are so many I like from this one maker. All very distinctive too. His 'Y' is the most beautiful fragrance, as is Rive Gauche, Baby Doll and many others. Paris is one of my firm favourites, and one of the first I owned of his.
Paris comes in a salmon pink, gold, and black square box. Quite chunky, like the perfume. The bottle is dimpled, clear glass, quite squat and round, like a squashed ball. It has a black and pink chubby top to it. With YvesSaintLaurent written in gold lettering to the front of the bottle. There is nothing really feminine, or particularly attractive about the bottle, and the basic looking bottle belies the perfume inside. The bottle of Paris de toilette I have is a 75ml bottle, 2.5fl.oz. It has a black push down atomiser...

I bought some Yves Saint Laurent products a while ago and I got this 'YSL Instant Pure Natural Action Exfoliator' for free. The tube I got was a 15ml sample size. It looks exactly like the larger tube, just in a smaller size.

There has been a lot of publicity about this product and one of my friends recommended it to me so I decided to try it.
The only concealer I had used before was a concealer stick so I was nicely surprised with the ease of use of this product. You... more
