haute couture

Today I treated myself to YSL Mon Paris - and discovered only at home, that in curved writing is still Couture on the box.

Oops - what will I expect there?

Couture is for me a blue jeans - combined with a white T shirt and white sneakers to it.
With " haute Couture " I throw me still a blue jeans shirt over.

So I feel top chique.

My father saw it differently.
To an invitation to a posh restaurant he added: But please not the denim shirt - we all know that now.
I was a little offended - surely that's a cool outfit?
I do some soul-searching and have to admit that it might also seem a little .... boring?

When he picks me up, he looks into my closet himself and finds an asymmetrical buttoned blouse in plum color - with a black swinging skirt - and black pumps from the shoe rack.
The things I have .... Amazing.
I dress - and father sighs: finally not so studenty!

In the restaurant the sister is amazed : what she looks pretty - if you wash and comb her nicely !

As the icing on the cake, I would have had to wear YSL couture, because this round buoyant chique fragrance, would have put the crown on my casual elegance.
Transparent fruity he floats around me - deepened by soft rose and bright patchouli - and musk gives him a quiet shine.
The orange blossom bathes couture in warm light - just as our table is also lit by candles.

But this friendly scent also enhances my everyday couture - I tried it.

It's great

I recently tested the original Mon Paris I don't like this one at all.
I've written a statement on this.
Hmmm, so in the beginning a strawberry and raspberry jump at you.
Like, really... Full pot... In the face...
These two notes dominate the entire scent.
This is when I realized that strawberry in scents is not mine So MP was out for me
Shortly afterwards I saw that the Couture version was available.
I found this one interesting right away ---> no strawberry, grapefruit and lychee (I like grapefruit and lychee in spring and summer scents).
I had to test it, of course At the beginning raspberry, lychee, bergamot and grapefruit dominate for me.
I like grapefruit and bergamot here very much, because they don't let the scent become so sticky-sweet.
And they give him something fresh The fragrance develops really nicely: for me a raspberry-grapefuit-mix.
With lychee, rose, musk and patchouli (gives the fragrance some depth and earthiness, like MP).
If I had to describe him in short words, I would say: sweet-citric, fruity, fresh, a little bit rosy + musk.

As for the durability, I can't complain I applied MPC in the morning and still noticed it in the afternoon.

MP I would honestly classify autumn, winter and spring.
I think he's too much for the summer MPC on the other hand, in my opinion, you can wear it all year round.
Grapefruit, bergamot and lychee make this fragrance a great summer companion.

I don't know the other MP versions.
As far as MP and MPC are concerned, I must say quite clearly that MPC is the better MP.

The city of love?

Hi folks, here I am again and as always I hope that you all can bear me at least to some extent this evening. I'm not gonna talk much either, and... oh what am I saying?... Of course I will babble, so you will have to put up with me :D

Soo, today I come to Mon Paris Couture by Yves Saint Laurent. First of all: No, I don't know the other Mon Paris fragrances yet, so this will not be a comparative commentary here. Otherwise, oh yes Paris... the dream city of many people. One dreams of beautiful streets and corners, romance, the Eiffel Tower and pretty French girls. I think all of this is not always true... the last time I was in Paris, where I stayed (which admittedly wasn't a very noble district...) a huge garbage can was torched by young people on their first night. But it could be that the boys and girls thought that they could burn the garbage can to increase the romance, so to speak as "campfire romance" :D
Which would also explain the many couples that were seen all over the streets (and bus stops) kissing each other passionately... (oh a horrible sight for singles... :DDD).

Anyway, I just assume that Paris is still a beautiful, romantic city. And before I go on talking forever (I had warned you about this), I'll get to the scent "quickly" first!

Of the citric notes, I would say grapefruit and lemon, and of the floral notes, I would say rose. Fruity notes seem to come from the raspberry, other sweet scents remind me of musk.
A little later, patchouli is added, whose earthy scent makes the fragrance seem more mature. At first the patchouli seems to become stronger, but then it fades away a little at the base, so that the fragrance then appears a little sweeter again. Otherwise you smell an amber-like sweetness in the base, which is soon caught up by the musk. And although the fragrance appears slightly synthetic every now and then, it hasn't become that bad on the whole now. It's nice, maybe a little sugary, but just nice.

The silage and the durability:*
The Sillage is quite okay. So neither too strong nor too weak. There will definitely be a cloud of scent for a while, so that you will definitely be noticed with this scent. The shelf life is eight hours and a little more, as the sweetish fragrances have been effective for longer.

BUT here's the BUT: Most of you probably won't like it anyway, the reason is simply that the fragrance is, except for a brief moment in the heart note (where you can smell patchouli), rather teenager-like and therefore more suitable for much younger girls.

Of course I would like to have such a scent also with adults or ... women who have passed the 25-30 (uh... and more) and think that they are too old for such a scent, and also like it quite a bit and find it tasty :D However, I am also a strange bird here, unbelievable that my comments are still considered helpful :DD

Sometimes, however, the patchouli seems to flash up more strongly again, so that one has the feeling that the fragrance is not only for younger people. But since it is said that scents should be different on every skin, there is only one thing that helps: Get your hands on the "bacon",... uh... oh God I probably shouldn't say something like that when I talk to you ladies... I meant get your scent and test it yourself :DD

By the way, since I also mentioned Guerlain here earlier, I have to say that I like the Mon Guerlain fragrances much better with a few exceptions, you should try them on occasion :)

Well, that's it. By the way, please excuse me if I wrote at the beginning that I cannot do much with the city of Paris at the moment. But the year is still young... who knows if I can end my eternal single existence this year (hey, you can bet on it, that would be the idea!!), then I might have a different opinion about Paris... if someone there doesn't kiss and burn a garbage can again... :DD

Well then, see you next time and have a nice evening to you all :)

Mon Paris Couture

This scent was allowed after the
classic "Mon Paris" into my collection as well, at a bargain price I had to strike.
My opening begins with a slightly soapy grapefruit note, which disappears relatively quickly after a few minutes as the scent of red berries develops. I hadn't thought of raspberries directly, but rather of a plate full of different red berries, covered with a fine layer of icing sugar, which gives them a sweetness that I don't find exaggerated. As I progress, I begin to smell the roses. Much less conspicuous until I can't perceive anything after about 2-3 hours. This may well be due to my nose, but of course I can only tell you about my personal experiences. I don't find the scent bad and because of the good price I am not so disappointed that it doesn't hold so well with me. Partly the scent reminded me of "Miss Dior Absolutely Blooming", which also contains some similar scents.
I find the fragrance very suitable for spring and would describe it as relatively "unobtrusive". I like the bottle very much and it looks great next to the classic fragrance. In comparison, I think couture is similar, but a little sweeter than "Mon Paris".
To give an age recommendation for smells I feel as difficult, because it depends also on the type and how the smell develops individually and tastes are simply different!

The fruity top notes are very noticeable and hide a little the flowery notes. Anyway, I like this gourmand bouquet .Nice the bottle .
