Yves Saint Laurent Paris Premieres Roses

Yves Saint Laurent has launched Paris Premières Roses, their yearly limited edition springtime flanker for the brand's well-known Paris fragrance.1

A radiant floral fragrance that celebrates the first roses of spring. A modern and fresh twist on the classic Paris fragrance that continues the captivating love story between Yves Saint Laurent and women and the amazing city of lights.

The notes include rose, peony, muguet and white musk.

Yves Saint Laurent Paris Premières Roses is available in 125 ml Eau de Toilette Légère.It can be found now at Saks Fifth Avenue, $95.

1. I do not know if the fragrance has changed, or if it is the same as the 2011 edition.

    I always like something with Rose, even though I think it would suit cold weather better. But probably I will give it a shot when it show up here in HK … the bottle is updated with less pinkified look (if the pic up there is not just a photo effect :-P), right?!

      The bottle looked like a different color to me too, but you never can tell w/o seeing it in person.

    I’m not sure why, but something about the Paris flankers triggers the collecting urge in me.

    I don’t even like the original, and it’s not my usual bottle fetish, because while the bottles are nice enough, they’re all the same, more or less.

    I do tend to like the scents themselves, though, and I’d buy them all if they came in smaller bottles.

    I don’t recall seeing the Toilette Légère concentration before….is strong or weaker than edt?

      I would assume weaker than a normal EdT.

      I wish they still did a yearly Paris flanker w/ a different name & inspiration each year — I was more interested in those than I am in this.

        Oh I agree with you absolutely…the thrill will be gone if it’s just the same ol’ juice every year, which looks like the road they’re going down.

        I really, really want to find a bottle of Paris Roses des Verges…

          I admit they are all mixed up in my mind now, but one year there was one that was very green — I wonder if that was it? It was my favorite.

            I think it was that one, I love it too! Let´s see this one, I hope it´s not fruitier but greener or more powdery than the original

    I want to try this – I just finally got my hands on the Paris Jardins Enchantees from a few years ago and I just love it! It’s so much lighter and easier to wear than the regular Paris. Now I want to smell all of them, which could be quit a project!

      Yes, they’d be really hard to find — many years, they sold out, at least at the Saks in NY.
