My Party

Strawbery Blooms on Patchouli Paper... I've tested this a few times now. I primarily get a strawberry/strawberry-raspberry on top of a white floral heart with a patchouli base, although all of the listed notes seem to be there. I agree with PrincessKitana, this is a dupe of Mon Paris YSL with good approximation and excellent performance. This is strong enough to be worn year round, but the profile reads as spring-summer to me. If you haven't smelled Mon Paris YSL, this is lighter in intensity than Miss Dior Cherie 2005, but darker in intensity than Bright Crystal Versace, and an oversimplified description might be to call this a cross between these two or halfway between these two. It may smell like many popular scents and have a mass appealing quality, but what makes it stand out for me is the white floral element which blooms beautifully on the skin. I can pick out jasmine, orange-blossom and some nondescript white florals (something close to gardenia perhaps?). There is something a little synthetic about the patchouli base although it's well hidden (likely ambroxan and iso-E-super), which reads like patchouli and paper to me. It's a love. Enjoy!

I think it’s a spot on dupe. I own the OG Ysl Mon paris, I haven’t compared side by side, but it smells just the same to me. And i have just received it, so no maceration yet.

Did not know this was a Mon Paris YSL dupe, and I would have never guessed it is. I have Mon Paris but I think Mon Paris smells a lot greener and more green flower garden like....This is nice, floral and fruity, a bit synthetic, but I don't see how they both compare (on my skin) tbh. Also I can't detect any strawberry in the fragance...There is jasmine, pear, a little vanilla, but no strawberry sorry. It's not a bad perfume, and I can see this work in the office, in springtime or summer as it's inoffensive, light and fun. But it's too generic for me, it lasts about 4 hours...In this case I would either save up for Mon Paris or go for the dupe/inspiration the brand Grandeur has of it called Florist. Not sure it's the most accurate dupe for Mon Paris, but it also smells similar-ish/similar-ish dna, but is a bit better fragance wise and longevity wise a bit better as well imo, if you are on a budget.

I had such high hopes for this but ended up selling it. This was very weak, synthetic and nothing like Mon Paris to my nose. There is an Eastern European "dupe house" that makes a much fruitier, sweeter version for a great price. I will stick to their version.

i was expecting a sweeter floral scent due to the fruits, but all i could smell was jasmine and bergamot, it was incredibly difficult to wash off and gave me a headache for the rest of the evening. needless to say, very strong silage and longevity, i can definitely see a jasmine lover enjoying this!
