Paris Premieres Roses 2014
by Yves Saint Laurent
Paris Premieres Roses 2014 is a light, fresh, and highly floral rose scent with a clean, almost soapy elegance. It evokes the image of freshly picked rose petals in a summer garden—delicate, innocent, and crisp. The top features neroli and violet, giving a clean, green freshness, while the heart centers on damask rose, lily-of-the-valley, and peony, lingering gently with a powdery white floral softness. The base of rose, sandalwood, and white musk adds quiet depth, though the fragrance remains close to the skin and fades relatively quickly. It’s best suited for spring and summer, especially daytime wear, with a moderate sillage that lingers in quick bursts rather than loud projection.
