by Yves Saint Laurent
Paris Jardins Romantiques by Yves Saint Laurent is a soft, airy floral with a fresh green opening that evokes a garden in spring bloom. The top notes of grass and mandarin orange lend a light, slightly citrusy freshness, while the floral heart—dominated by rose, violet, lily-of-the-valley, and lilac—creates a delicate, feminine accord. The base note of musk with sandalwood adds warmth, though some find it slightly chemical or weak in depth. The scent is light and linear, fading gradually over 6–8 hours, making it most appropriate for daytime wear in spring and summer. It achieves a classic elegance that feels timeless, reminiscent of old-fashioned perfume—gentle, unobtrusive, and floral without sweetness overwhelming. While not long-lasting, it is praised for its wearable quality, especially in the office or warm weather, and its subtle personality that doesn’t clash with others.
