Effervescent Fruitchouli
The opening is an enjoyable blast of tart berry juice and sparkling synthetics. As it dries down it remains very fruity and sparkly with a fresh peony note and the suggestion of some low key white florals, cottony musk and just the tiniest smidgeon of clean patchouli. The overall effect is fresh-fruity, bright, optimistic, and frankly effervescent. It is not as sweet as you would think based on the notes. Those who have likened it to champagne are right on the money IMO.

To those who are wary of trying something with a calone note, have no fear. Calone is used judiciously and to great effect here as an accent to the fruitiness. There is not cucumber/melon here, no 90's aquatic vibe. I suspect that the calone in tandem with some soft aldehydes are responsible for the sparkly effervescent quality.

Final verdict: Fun and easy to wear, perfect for someone who wants a fruitier and less patchouli forward option than Miss Dior (2012) or Coco Mad. Way, way, less sweet than LVEB and Flowerbomb and with a much less woody base note than either of them. Casual and flirty.

Front-Loaded but Fun
A juicy strawberry with a patchouli backbone rounds out the opening. There is a tanginess that almost calls to mind cheesecake or shortcake. The delicious opening lasts about 30 minutes or so, by far the most exciting stage of this fragrance.

As time goes on, the berry calms down and blends into a familiar sweetened patchouli heart. Somewhat more generic but still highly enjoyable.

Unfortunately, it all fizzles out into something that smells like a Victorias secret spray after about 2 hours. Sweet, berry, musky, sits very close to the skin. Similar to the dry down of Parisienne, but far weaker. Disappointing.

I like this fragrance and I see comparisons to Miss Dior Cherie and maybe even the 2012 Miss Dior.. In the opening. The dry down just isn't it. If you have the cash to lay down to respray this supposed EDP every 2 hours, it's worth it! If not, go ahead and give this one a pass.

girly pop strawberry
I had bought a bottle in 2016 when it first came out. Now, I tested the most recent batch at a Sephora and it’s definitely been reformulated. It used to be a muskier, more refined perfume, patchouli-dominant and still with a youthful aspect. But now, all I can smell are pink fruits like raspberry and strawberry.

Like an inexpensive liquid soap and hand lotion scent
This is very, very fruity. It reminds me of a liquid soap and hand lotion from a Bath and Body Works type store—in my case, it was a Fruits and Passion soap/lotion set I got for Christmas once...I think it was called Cranberry Love. It’s an okay fruit scent, especially for inexpensive hand soap and lotion, but I’m kind of surprised to be reminded of it by a high end perfume from YSL.

There is an echo in here that reminds me of Calvin Klein’s Escape, which I find quite pleasant. Not sure what it is though. Probably the orange, oak moss, jasmine, musk and cedar, which the two have in common. Also, I always detected a calone note in Escape, even though it’s not listed. However, Mon Paris is just too fruity for me to wear easily. The berries are overpowering despite my caution in applying. I’d say I put on half a spray, and it is a beast.

Heavy Generic All Around
This fragrance doesn't seem to get anything right. The scent starts with a sickly sweet berries note, its generic and you cannot discern any individual fruit or citrus in it. It needed the citrus too, for complexity and toning down the sweetness but I could not find it. It quickly moves into a dense white floral. Its just generic white floral and it makes the perfume feel even heavier than the opening notes did. The middle notes do not last long either. The scent then quickly disappears altogether. I caught a tiny bit of citrus in the dry down but that was it. No earthiness, musk, woodiness, or anything. This scent lasted maybe a hour and half on my skin and the projection was only noticeable for the first 30 minutes. The 10mL is $33 but that is even too much for this fragrance if you ask me.

Sweet, juicy berries with an underlying muskiness + some patchouli to stop it from being too sickly. Nice on a hot day as it's not loud.

A fresher version of a gourmand-type perfume. Good if you want red fruit notes but not cloyingly sweet and sirupy.
