Parisienne A L'Extreme Yves Saint Laurent for women

Noooo, is this discontinued?! What a shame! 😩😪

This was one of the first perfumes I ever purchased.. Although I’m not so fond of rose perfumes and flowery perfumes in general .. But I fell in love with this perfume when I first tried it.. The rich blackberry scent Is very prominent then when it cools on the skin the rose sweet scent shines through .. with white musk and violet .. The longevity is high compared to other YSL perfumes .. I recommend trying it ❤️❤️ (Evening/winter-autumn )

The fragrance of a rich, drunken rose. I’ve been wearing this to bed recently after coming across a rare, reasonably-priced 50ml flacon online, since this is discontinued and hard to find in the UK now.

It starts off sweet and jammy - the blackberry, damask rose and violet readily detectable. It quickly deepens into a scent that I can best describe as roses steeped in red wine, a boozy blackberry-rose with an undertone of incense and suede. These base notes last for hours and hours. A suede-rose scent is still there when I wake up in the mornings.

Definitely a night scent, although you can probably get away with this in daytime too, due to the opening sweetness. I’m currently using it during freezing weather, but I notice it performs better when the house is very warm. Can imagine it will be at its best on urban summer nights.

This is my signature. I adore it dearly. Well balanced, sexy, luxurious, dark and mysterious scent. I don't know anyone else who use it but at least it gets a lots of attention in a good way. Love, love, love it.

I'm really a big fan of YSL perfumes and I bought at least 9 different models of this brand. but this one I think, has unforgettable scent. I'm totally in love with it ❤️

I have had this scent for a long time and didn't really take to it. Today I gave it another try and this time I am in love with it the suede is noticeable from the beginning and combines with the blackberry,rose and violet beautifully. The vanilla adds a soft sweetness which balances the whole. Really lovely.

this one smells like dark red lipstick, wine, roses and stiletto heels

the only thing i dont like about it is that it fades away in just 3 hours on me. shame! such a gorgeous fragrance

ADORE IT!!! It's beautiful!!! Oh my goodness.....I'm so lucky to have this gorgeous bottle, which my darling beloved man gave me!!! It's a heavenly colour, and the perfume is too. Exquisite. Deep, dark, smoky: rich sensual fruit, vanilla, rose and violet, and to-die-for suede, patchouli, incense and creamy vanilla and musk combination for the dry-down.... mmmm......swoon totally!!! Really awesome. Very very classy and elegant, very much a woman's perfume. A beautiful, mature, confident, sensual woman. It lasts an extremely long time - goodness, easily 16 hours while still staying quite strong, and then it sits gently and quietly, very close and snug for quite a few more. It's totally fantastic. A treasure, a sophisticated gem. The bottle says it. Completely stunning!!

I love Paris and Parisienne, and bought this on the assumption it would be similar. I was wrong. It smells like 'old lady'. An old lady in a nylon skirt who keeps a funky old dog at home and wears slightly whiffy old shoes.

NOT a fan at all. Fusty, musty, dusty, old.

I will stick with Parisienne the original, and use Paris when I am feeling nostalgic. But this one... never again.

I quite like this one and am happy that I finally found some. The original Parisienne didn't work for me - the vinyl note played out as pure icky chemical on my skin and the kindest thing I could say about it was that it didn't last too long. A L'Extreme is modern rose, blackberry, violet, a little velvety suede, subtle patchouli. Feminine, softly sweet, synthetic but pleasant, sexy. It reminds me of Lancome's Tresor Midnight Rose with more rose, much less syrup, blackberry instead of raspberry. Projects well, good longevity on me.

Received a bottle of this beautiful juice in a swap. It had been on my want list for ages but I had removed it recently thinking I'd never own it due to its discontinued status. Imagine my surprise when a lovely Fragrantican offers her bottle in exchange for something on my list she wanted. What a stunningly beautiful rosey-violet, blackberry & suede fragrance it turned out to be! On my skin the suede is detectable from top notes to dry down adding a subtle softness to the burst of juicy blackberry. Surprisingly I detect very little patchouli despite the fact that my skin often enhances even the smallest patch notes in perfumes. Instead the rose and violet combo is full and lush with the patch note in the background. The overall effect projects the image of a blood red rose with velvet-like petals.

The sillage and longevity on this one are phenomenal; well over 12 hours on clean skin. This beauty is a definite compliment getter that melds so perfectly with my chemistry. I'll definitely be saving this beauty for autumn. It's everything I hoped it would be. I'm so grateful to goldenfire5 for gifting me a bottle! <3

I think this is a stunning fragrance! Good longevity too! Thing is though, I have a serious problem with rose (even though this is one of the better ones to my nose), but if it wasn't for the prominent rose note I would def. buy it.
If you're into rose you're destined to love this, I'm sure!

Oh, wow, "Parisienne! Where have you been all my life?

Owning bottles of both this, and the original Parisienne EDP, I can definitely say that I prefer the A L'extreme version.

While the original Parisienne is SUPER sweet, candy-like rose & vinyl forward, this flanker is blackberry, patchouli & a more pleasant rose/violet combo forward. The addition of a stronger violet note rounds out the sharpness that was present in the original. The composition is less plastic-y, after ditching the vinyl accord, and seems overall smoother & less polarizing.

Parisienne A L'extreme opens up with a strong, shrill fruity accord - loads of blackberries on top of a patchouli base to give it depth, and thickness. Slowly, the rose comes along, with the soft, sweet violet - and though this combination is not makeup/lipstick-related for once, it still is reminiscent of some sort of boudoir once it turns a little powdery. Somewhere deep in this perfume is a slight vanillic note, adding sweetness and softness.

Overall, not totally unlike the original Parisienne, the impression is somewhat that of a Victoria's Secret body spray - that type of youthful, "sexy", strong, sweet floral/fruity scent. With a few notes of depth added in, boom! You get the Parisienne line. These are likes, not loves, for me, yet somehow I'm strangely attached to them, and they have a special place in my wardrobe! (However, I am not typically a fruity perfume lover, so keep that in mind.)

If you have one, do you need both? Probably not. They have their differences, but they sit on the same base.

Intense version of the edp as the name states!
Lasts long and strong but not my cup of tea. The vinyl notes are not as apparent as in the edp.
I loved the Edt version the most which was fresher and lighter.

Clear & sexy at the same time. I felt really divine while wearing it. Unbelievably well balanced! Good fragrance for a beautiful, mysterious woman. And for all women that like themselves.

Update: After a lot of consideration, I have to say that it was one of the best perfumes in my life. Truly boudoir scent! I can recommend it to everyone!

I love this fragrance. It's the kind of fragrance that makes you feel sexy and boost your confident. =)

Much better and more sexy than original perfume which smells to me only like plain roses. But here roses with violets make a great combination when they are followed by royal smell of suede and incenses. Worth to try!

Just bought this lovely scent. Really in love with this rite now..this one is better than the original parisienne edp or edt. Love the togetherness of blackberries & rose.Very romantic & seductive scent perfect for Valentine's Day dinner..;-)

A definite improvement on the original, but I was not an instant fan. I was not a fan of the original in the beginning either (although it grew to be a well loved favourite) but what sold me on this particular scent were the compliments I received from others when I wore it. The scent lingers far longer on the skin than the wearer is aware of, because long after I lose the ability to smell it, people are commenting on how "sweet" I smell. Definitely a scent males tend to appreciate more than females (as most compliments I receive are from men). It definitely is a scent to seduce (it literally drives some men wild)! And the blackberry is much more noticeable in this version.

I expected more from this fragance. It would be a nice scent without blackberry (or less berry). Nothing was 'wrong', but nothing stood out either. Quite strong perfume, a little leathery and powdery... very long-lasting (on my skin) and sillage is huge as well. I don't really like it enough to buy again.

Oooooooww! Your majesty!

Have owned and enjoyed a bottle of the original Parisienne but noting the negative reviews regarding the vinyl note (which fades very quickly I think anyway and is not an issue)gave this a try. It is an improvement on the original - such a shame it is hard to get hold of now.

This is delectable. i have both this and the original parisienne and the original is much tamer. This explodes from the bottle with the first whiff. aAfter getting this (an hour ago literally), this takes 1st place over the original, circumstances depending of course! I would not wear this at work unless I was angling for a come-on.
This is sexy sweet madness in a bottle, just waiting to join you on a night painting the town whatever colour catches your fancy. While the original is dimpling sweet and more reserved, this one sends the ball out of the park in attitude and sillage.
The berries and the flowers are so smoothly combined, the sweetness doesn't become cloying or headache provoking but remains most definitely in your face. Longevity possibly forever, honestly not being biased, this stuff clings on. Projection...let's just say, it's called extreme for a reason.

This one is all about Blackberrys. I'm disappointed with this scent. Blackberrys and sweet tones. Too sweet for my taste. This one is perfect for a grownup teenager or a young woman in her 20th. Parisienne A L'extreme is playfull och happy in spirit. No sharp or edgy notes at all.

Denna doften är Björnbär, helt och hållet på mig. Besviken såklart. Björnbär och söta doftnoter. För söt för min smak. En perfekt doft för äldre tonåring eller ung tjej runt 20. Parisienne A L'extreme är lekfull och glad i sin utstrålning. Inga skarpa eller tunga doftnoter alls.

Just got this from my partner that has been on a trip. He didn't know I had the original Paris years ago, and I am so happy he got me this, as it reminds me of the original one (specially the top notes) but still has its uniqueness and smells more modern. But it brought so many fond memories, I was so touched!

I am not very good at listing notes but to me, this smells incredibly like honey at the start, like a sweet filled with honey, and then it turns to smokey and powdery yumminess.

What I picture when I smell this is a glitzy young woman on a night out, modern but glamorous, having fun and very sexy!

Very nice indeed. I like this version than the original. Start with the rock vintage bottle and invited you both of anxious and enchanted. I found this is a very sexy fragrance of Blackberry and especially with vinyl leather and suede. Both of them make me love at first crush. If you looking for a perfect rose scent this one is really special with a little bit warming of musk. I'm sure it's worth to purchase. All this perfume can do is reveal your sexy and confidence. I love it. Absolutely take it !

This one is more intense than the original which is good for a start. I liked the smell but when I tried it on my skin, I found it really dissapointing as it was overpowering. More or less, it reminded me of those loud perfumes that instead of being unique, they try a lot to be so,therefore they include nothing different. Although I prefer woody/oriental/gourmand perfumes that sometimes have a deeper and heavier smell, I must say that I couldn't stand this one, it gave me a headache.
I don't know what was to blame, probably this perfume isn't for me;however, I would recommend it to the fans of the original because it has better lasting power.

For me most beautiful version Parisienne YSL .
Here rose is very modern.Has the sweetness, a flirt, lightly reminds Yvresse, with a little bit dry note.Like in start kelly Caleche EDP.
This Parisienne is not to very hard on my skin , does not crush . Is very ,very good ,I'm feel so good..
Splendid on the autumn and winter. And i think I will buy EDT in summer .

very beuthiful roses but i dont know if staying power its good on me ,i think not realy

This is a more sophisticated version of Parisienne indeed. Less amount of berries and a big dose of patchouli make the scent similar to Chloe edp / YR Moment de Bronheur. Yes, the beautiful and a bit old fashioned pathouli roses.

Holly roses! I get a very strong rose, a dusty creamy rose, actually one of the most beautiful rose scents I have smelled to date. There is that slight same plastic smell as the first one, but not nearly as noticeable, it hardly has any sweetness to it. I do get the berries, and it has just the right amount of patch. This is a deep scent, when they say extreme, they mean it, its actually an extreme version. So many fragrances have been revamped by the "extreme" label, this one lives up to its label. I love this grown up woman version, it's truly gorgeous.

The original Parisienne smells far too vinyl-y and nail polish-y for my liking.

This version, to me, has a much stronger berry ackord and smells far less chemical. I like it a lot, although I do whish I would notice the base notes more.

This smells like sharp violettes to my nose. Nice enough, but nothing to write home about. The price is just horrific for such a simple perfume.

Same smell of the original but More Intensive .. More Long Lasting which is Amazing ....
i absolutely Love It :)

what's the difference whit ehe original parisienne?? i have the original and I LOVE IT!!

I did not like the first Parisienne so I had hopes for this one. I do like the opening better which to me smells very similar to Champagne but than it dries down smelling similar to the original Parisienne which I thought was a little plasticky smelling. I love the bottle!

Rich and smokey, dark and unusual.
My impression is that sweet vinyl note (Parisienne EDP) has been replaced with a sexy suede note (A L'Extreme EDP) here.
This trick made my dreams come true since I absolutely adore to wear Parisienne during the day and now I will have its variation that is perfect for the night time!!!
A L'Extreme reminds me of an exceptionally elegant woman, reminds me of luxurious suede accessories; suede bags, suede shoes, soft suede gloves...
I wouldn't go that far to say that A L'Extreme is a better version of regular Parisienne EDP. I would say it is totally different.
Parisienne EDP is sweet and innocent comparing to A L'Extreme.
Parisienne is much sweeter, colourful, playful and cheerful, A L'Extreme is serious, mature, mysterious.
Parisienne is a light rain shower on an extremely sunny and hot day, A L'Extreme is a sunset on a windy, cool seashore...
Lovely bottle, lovely lasting power and silage.
YSL so far has never disappointed me with any of their creations.
Thumbs up for A L'Extreme.

I like this better than the original because this seems like it has more character to it than the previous which smells slightly somewhat outdated.

This is an improvement.

Parisienne a L'Extreme is, as it's name reveals, a more potent Grojsman/Labbe creation of the former Parisienne and Parisienne edt.

This is the version I like most of the three just because it has more "oomph" and the basenotes are rich and mellow in comparision to it's sisters. It is well balanced and the patchouli note is tender, delicate and prevents from the washy smell that often occurs in the endnotes of fruity florals.

The part I like most is the drydown and I love how the rose and violet plays along with the slightly powdery basenotes. It reminds me of Galliano edp minus the lavender, incense and woody accords.

The downside is that I find it a bit linear, I wish it had more of a bone structure. Beeing a bit "old school" in my taste I do also have a hard time with edible berry notes that are quite intense in the top. It's a bit girslish in the take off. On the other hand this perfume probably speaks to a younger audience.

For me Parisienne a L'Extreme could have been an excellent rose fragrance if it had less of the berries and more of a bone structure. But I guess I'm just a bit old fashioned in my taste. Spend your money on this one and I may have all the oldies for myself :).

I didn't like the original perfume, much less so the EDT. This one is better though. Not by much but better nonetheless. Still not good enough for me to want it. I don't even know what it is that I don't like about it, I guess it's just not my style. I tested Sensuous Noir at the same I tested this I loved Sensuous Noir whereas this one left me underwhelmed.

Another one that follows the path of recently in-fashion 'modern vinatges'.

I didn't like the other Parisiennes, but this one is the worst :)

Classy, vintage, powdery rose and violet on a patchouli-suede base, just a bit sweet.
Very French, very 'madame', and not at all 'mademoiselle'.

Not my cup of tea :)

Can`t wait to find it in stores in my country.So desperate want to test it.I`m sure that it will be great scent,just like Parisienne :)))
