Serial Sampler #24

I recently bought some skincare items from FeelUnique.com and I spent enough that I got to choose a free sample. I chose the perfume sample option of course. I used to own a bottle of the original version of this scent and was interested to find out whether this spin-off version smelled much different, as sometimes spin-offs smell nothing like the original scents they derive from.

It is Mon Paris Couture by Yves Saint Laurent and it is a 1.2ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum.

“A sparkling white chypre for a dazzling signature. The iconic and vertiginous Datura flower lights up with the freshness of rosebud accord and the sparkle of grapefruit essence for a free-spirited and radically couture attitude. ”
It contains a mixture of notes such as; Bergamot, Raspberry, Litchi, Grapefruit, Mandarin Orange, Datura, Peony, Rose, Orange Blossom, Patchouli, White Musk, Ambroxan and Cashmeran.

I do like the smell of this scent. It does smell different to the original, but you can tell it is a spin-off. I would say it is more floral than the original. It smells light, fresh, delicate, flowery and sparkly. I can detect the bergamot, peony, patchouli and white musk notes the most. I think I still prefer the original, but this is a nice addition to the Mon Paris family. It also reminds me of Bright Crystal by Versace.

You can buy it in 30ml (£56/$74), 50ml (£78/$97) and 90ml (£100/$124) and it is available at places such as; Boots, YSLBeauty.co.uk, YSLBeautyUS.com and Sephora.
