Mon Paris Intensement

Mon Paris Intensement is a gossamer-sweet, rose-forward flanker that captures the playful essence of YSL's original scent while softening its sharp edges. The opening bursts with juicy black currant, raspberry, and pear, balanced by a crisp bergamot, creating a fizzy, effervescent fruitiness that evolves into a lush, velvety rose heart. This transformation into a gourmand floral—marked by delicate freesia, peony, and May rose—is layered with a gently musky, vanilla-kissed base, where cashmeran and benzoin lend depth and a soft, powdery warmth. The dry down is nearly enveloping, suggesting a blend of rosewater candy and a quiet, elegant cashmere blanket—rich in texture, but not overwhelming. Longevity is moderate to strong on skin and significantly longer on clothing, with a sillage that hovers between moderate and strong, making it noticeable without being intrusive. It’s best suited for cool weather and evening wear, offering a romance-laden, dreamlike quality rather than overt seduction. While some find it too floral and sweet, most agree it’s more wearable than the original, with a refined, accessible charm that stands out among similarly styled perfumes. The bottle’s bright magenta hue beautifully complements its delicate, youthful vibe, making it ideal for those seeking a modern, feminine signature with a touch of nostalgic sweetness.
