Review: YSL Parisienne

I got the opportunity to try the new YSL fragrance Parisienne, and here’s what I thought:
 

First, it comes in a really cute bottle.  It looks kind of like a gemstone, so I felt pretty glam putting it on.  Also, Kate Moss is in the ad, and I love me some Kate Moss.
 

While the packaging was definitely up my alley…the scent was not.  This is definitely not a perfume for someone in their 20s.  It’s got a fairly mature appeal to it, and I personally would rather not smell like my mom.  It’s also not really an everyday scent.  It’s much too overpowering to wear to work, and if I were to wear it, it would be out at night.
 

Now again this is just me, I’m more of a fruity/flowery perfume kind of girl.  If you like sandalwood, this one is worth a try, but otherwise I would avoid the people trying to spray you with this the department store.
