Mon Paris Parfum Floral

I really like it, but not much as the Couture flanker. It's a bowl of sugared fruit (mostly peach) with rose petals. It's not really floral to my nose. I was also surprised that despite the lack of berries this feels sweeter than the others. It's very young and flirty. I appreciate that the patchouli is much lighter as well. If you have an opportunity to try it, I suggest you do! It's been discontinued so I purchased mine from T.J. Maxx at a huge discount. Update: my husband's nose gets the floral, and it's his least favorite between Mon Paris (OG) and the Couture flanker. I didn't get the florals until at least an hour later. By hour 4, she was completely gone. I wasn't expecting longevity to be so poor. It's definitely worst than Couture which is also an EDT.

This is a unique floral fragrance that’s very distinct and different to anything that has ever been on the market—and I’ve been smelling scents for half a century. This is a pretty and flirty fragrance, a peachy floral. It opens with an explosion of white flowers and peach, then settles into a sweet and playful dream with peach and Daytura flower the stars of the show. Finally it dries down to a clean, aquatic, soapy skin scent. This is absolute perfection in spring. This juicy and delicious fragrance is what I imagine a fairy would smell like dancing over dewy flowers. Longevity is about three or four hours. I love everything about this fragrance, including the exquisite bottle.

When I got a sample of this one a couple of weeks ago, I put it off to the side because I had several other fragrances that I was convinced I would like more. by the time I got to this one, I wasn't expecting much, but that was not the case. I was very pleasantly surprised when I tried this one, and as the evening wore on I liked it more and more. Beautiful light scent, not too sweet, not too floral, not a headache in sight. It was even better when I strolled up to my local pharmacy and found it on sale for only $100 for the large bottle. Total score.

That picture is absolutely beautiful, I love it. Seems another floral musk, surely one note or combination of notes will make it stand out somehow. The prominence of notes in perfumes makes it stand out from the rest, let us hope this one does too with the special Datura, Magnolia and Cashmere notes. Gorgeous advert photograph....

I am in love with this. It’s very different to other fragrances on the market. It has a unique and very addictive note in there. I think it’s the datura flower. Overall this fragrance is fruity, fizzy, feminine, flirty, and fun. Perfect for spring/summer. Edit: it’s now over three years later, and I still adore this fragrance.

This smells soooo goood! I love the peony and peach notes. Perfection with my chemistry! Only problem is that it does not last more than 4 hours; I don't mind respraying however. The top notes are my favorite, so I will happily experience them again and again. Fantastic in 80 degree spring weather. Compliment getter as well!

I am finding current YSL just don’t have the staying power. They vanish rapidly and all you are left with is a variant of woods/musk/rose. This is very beautiful and floral but so what - it’s gone too quick.

I love the smell of this on me! It smells like peach French macarons dipped in peonies and orange blossoms!

Peach is prominent 🍑 This is a great perfume. A compliment getter for sure

As every perfume does, the duration before each note kicks in and the overall longevity of the scents may depend on the wearer's skin pH/acidity level. But if there's one thing I agree on, it's that this perfume starts out impressive; fruity notes that mingle with floral notes. The way the notes transition and mingle in the first 2 hours is pretty impressive to me. However, a few hours later, that's when the generic soapy/ fragrant shampoo-ness nearly everyone talks about kicks in. If you're the type to wear fragrances abundantly all over your body (the kind who just loves to bask on perfume like it's some kind of body spray), you will definitely dislike the shampooey dry drown. That soapy smell can trigger a headache if you have a sensitive nose. BUT if used "sparingly" (about 3-5 spritz all over the body in total), it's pretty okay. Longevity: If you don't sweat too much, the scent can last up to 12 hours (perhaps even more on some people). Dry down/final notes: It dries down with a sweet fruity-floral, fresh-out-of-the-shower shampoo smell at the end of the day. It's not my favorite scent, but if used sparingly, it's definitely a "workable, back up" perfume on busy days. If you like perfumes that come with a kick of scent transitions throughout the day, and you appreciate the soapy shower fragrance as dry down, you may like this one.

A radiant, more floral and decidedly more daytime interpretation of the classic Mon Paris. The fresh, fruity opening flows seamlessly into a soft bouquet of flowers, before settling into a musky woody base with a subtle touch of patchouli. The composition is light, luminous and very feminine, perfect for spring and summer. It reminds me of the days just before the summer holidays, a warm evening outside my grandmother’s house, when a gentle breeze carries the sweet scent of peonies from the garden. There’s something nostalgic about it, yet fresh and carefree. Longevity is around six hours, with moderate projection.

@Tomelise: I don't think the flanker madness will ever end, but my issue is flankers all smelling so similar that it makes no sense to buy them. I don't know when the trend started, but it's annoying now. Companies are smart, though and they know what the consumer likes and doesn't like based not only on sales, but commentary on fragrance sites and social media platforms. Too much patchouli in the original? Pull that out, add something else trendy (oud anyone?) and voila, a flanker. Too much oud? Pull it, add ambroxan, voila another flanker. And so forth, until you've got Inception levels of perfume.

Lovely, although a very spring summer fragrance. It definitely need warm weather to develop on the skin and moist skin is a must with this fragrance. I don't hate it, it' has a very fresh citrus opening and initial spray. When one gets wafts through out the day it is musky and green, but still very light. Although it smells quite young, the musky edge gives it some nice maturity that would work well in an office environment or when going out to brunch with the girls, or even going out for a walk with the family.

First I get sweet fruit, next a kind of Granny perfume-type sharp flowers, and lastly some pleasant soft fruit. I loved it at the shop, but now wearing it home the love turned to like. I'll have to mull this over 🤔 *edit: I wore this today, and several times I thought I was wearing Miracle. Other times the scent made me think of J'adore. Beautiful as all of them are, there's a faint mosquito repellent vibe in this. Too much citrus for my liking.

This was a blind buy. I don’t love this fragrance because i struggle with peony in most perfumes (ex. Bright Crystal and Blooming Bouquet) it can be too soapy and screechy for me, but I’m going to keep wearing this and see if my nose gets used to it. Glad there’s minimal patchouli in here. Smells very similar to original mon Paris but not so sweet. This honestly reminds me of that Ed Hardy perfume you can find at Walmart with the skulls on it.

On a cotton pad, this smells similar to the new Miu Miu Twist with that zingy citrus/fruit thing going on, but on my skin, the patchouli is too obvious for my liking (I hate patchouli with a passion, so even a trace of it smells obvious to me) while the opening is actually nice. Without the patchouli, I'd definitely buy a full bottle of this as the peony/citrus/fruity/rose vibe on my skin is quite nice, but that damn patchouli...*sigh*

Tested today in the mall and the shop assistent told me that it has very weak start, so I should be patient, to wait untill it will bloom and she was right! I would throw away the paper if she did not tell me that. After 3 minutes it was blooming with peony and orange blossom softened by peach, pure heaven. Although it is on the sweet side, it does not cross the line to be cloying.

I wore this during a vacation in Valencia and since then I just associate this perfume with a nice, summery, relaxing scent. It's all about flowers with this one. Performance is modest but decent which makes it wearable especially in the summer heat when you don't need a migraine inducing perfume. Got me at least a person asking me what I wear.

If you found the original is too sweet, this one may appeal to you. The juicy berry sweetness is what I really like about Mon Paris. This one is nice. It's floral, light and fresh, a good option for spring and summer daytime wear. Nothing outstanding about it though and I will move on after I finish my bottle.

This is more fruity than floral scent, appropriate for spring wear. Maybe a little bit girly in my opinion. It's nice, but I probably won't purchase another bottle when I'll finish that one, because I'm more into floral (spring, summer) or gourmand (fall, winter) type of fragnances. Bottle is stunning!
