YSL - Parisienne Parfum





I've found my new favorite fall/winter fragrance and it is YSL's Parisienne.  It's a heady rich floral scent perfect for fall and winter.  It's a blend of blackberry, damask rose and sandalwood.  After the light scents of summer this is the perfect scent for the coming colder months.  It's sophisticated and when I wear it I feel more grown  up.  Next time you pass by you local fragrance counter make sure you give this one a sniff and I'm sure you'll love it too.  I'll be giving a few bottles out for Christmas.
