Mon Paris Yves Saint Laurent 2016 Eau de Parfum
4
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.
