Mon Paris Yves Saint Laurent 2017 Eau de Toilette

While browsing in the perfumery, I tested one or another fragrance without a specific goal. For my birthday, I received a voucher and currently just can't decide which one I really want to add to my collection from my wish list.
Maybe someone else knows this phenomenon, that as soon as you own a fragrance that you assumed would be truly wonderful, after wearing it a few times, the initial enthusiasm slowly fades. Fortunately, this doesn't happen with every purchase of mine, but it has happened to me about 2 or 3 times.

Without any expectations, I sprayed Mon Paris edt out of curiosity for new releases and added a second fragrance to my other wrist. The first sniff was already very appetizing, but there were also other scents I had tested during this visit. Indecisively, I left the perfumery and strolled through the city to run some errands.
And yes... you probably guessed it, you've all experienced it... I've read it many times here: What unfolded on my wrist within a few minutes was simply heavenly!
The fragrance began to vibrate as if alive, and it felt like tiny glitter particles, colorful butterflies, and flower petals dipped in sweet berry juice were cascading from my wrist as I started to gently sway it back and forth.

The scent has a romantic side; a bit cheesy perhaps, as these fruity raspberries and blackberries, combined with the thorn apple, create a distinctly pronounced sweetness that almost tickles the nose. It sparkles and hisses, pink, frothy and bubbly sweet with a citrus note. I find this fruit cocktail extraordinarily delightful. It's not a cotton candy sweetness like LVEB, but rather a berry-like slightly tart sweetness with wonderful aromas. There's a bit of princess and pink in this bottle.
The flowers are a hit for me: Neroli, peonies, and jasmine all enjoy my admiration.
With patchouli and white musk in the base, many of my favorite women's fragrances are equipped, and here too, all the notes fit together wonderfully. Perhaps it's the ambroxan that gives this fragrance its radiance and makes it feel so rich and full.
All in all, a very appetizing, sweet, fruity women's fragrance that appears cheerful and playful, yet still has a subtly seductive side. I can easily imagine this scent on a first date when one is already in the mood for flirting and joking but doesn't want to reveal everything about oneself right away - especially not their dark sides.

I am thrilled by the intensity of the scent, even though it is just an edt; a quality that I miss in many fragrances and is crucial in determining whether a purchase is worthwhile for me or not.
I always find it quite difficult to assess the sillage without support, but I would say that it radiates well, as with movements of the wrist and swirling in the air, the fragrance becomes present again. It lasts on the wrist for up to 7 hours.

What this fragrance does not offer, in my opinion, is offensive sensuality, pure seduction, a mysterious aura, or even a factual, clear elegance or coolness, as is often desired for an office scent. I perceive the fragrance as rather romantic, charming, cheerful, and perhaps a bit cheeky.

The scent reminds me very much of Miss Dior Chérie. Back then, I was completely crazy about that fragrance and find it a shame that it was discontinued. I would also cautiously suggest a bit of similarity to Miss Dior Absolutely Blooming. I will have to test both in parallel again to assess that more accurately. I am also familiar with Mon Paris edp, but I find the edt to be better executed, as it is less one-dimensionally sweet. In any case, this fragrance remains on my radar and is in the running for my wish list.
