Launched in 1983,The perfume is named after Paris, the adored city of Yves Saint Laurent, who created it as a tribute to the people of Paris who are always elegant, romantic, vivacious, ironic, simple and charming. Paris is a brilliant harmony of roses and violet flowers. This woody-floral starts with bergamot and violet, followed my may rose and iris at its heart, ending with sensational warmth of sandalwood.
