Balade à Paris Soirée Rooftop

I got Macaron Amande and Soiree Rooftop as a blind buy for a little over 5 euro each during an online sale on Notino a few months back, but never opened the boxes because I have other perfumes which I currently use. I tested Soiree Rooftop tonight at a store and 8 hours later, it's still there so wow. It wasn't my first time testing it but this time, it smelled better to me. I didn't expect it especially in hot weather when my skin can't hold on to any perfume. Sweet, creamy and slightly fruity. I didn't get the coffee note but I will pay more attention to it after I will open my box. The dry down is quite vanillic so I'm surprised that vanilla isn't listed among its notes. IMO it's a gourmand scent, which makes it similar to Macaron Amande. If you can get it for less than 10 euro, it's totally worth it.

Very pleasant scent, will be wearing this as one of my regular scents from now on. Perfect balance of sweet and floral. I don't get any coffee from it but I don't mind. I needed something that wouldn't trigger my migraine. This is it for me. Peary, flowery, and womanly, but doesn't make me seem older and more serious than I really am. Fits me personally :)

Smells like Black Opium! It's much weaker of course, YSL perfumes are super strong, and this is not. But I prefer that. Like Black Opium without the intensity

Powdery, fruity, and gently sweet. There might be a hint of a coffee note, but it's not prominent. If I hadn't read here that it was supposed to have a coffee note, I wouldn't have noticed it. The fragrance tends to smell a bit soapy during the dry-down, likely due to the floral elements. I can detect some aspects that remind me of YSL Black Opium, but it’s not the scent you should expect. The longevity is about three hours on my skin. A nice little summer fragrance that I probably won't use very often. I actually find the scent a bit dull and lacking any memorable character. However, if I didn't have so many fragrances to choose from, I would probably use it a few times during the spring and summer.

Definitely a less in-your-face version of Black Opium. Soirée Rooftop smells slightly softer and more well-rounded, while Black Opium lasts longer and has a bit more depth to it with its strong coffee note. Aside from its difference in performance, this fragrance is really a spot on dupe. I couldn't possibly tell them apart if I didn't smell them both directly side by side. In contrast to its counterpart, Soirée Rooftop quickly settles into a yummy skin scent. I really don't mind its weaker projection, I actually love that it stays within arms length. I like smelling like a coffeehouse without bothering people on public transport<3
