I guess I find it quite comforting, although because I associate it so strongly with her I don't think I'd ever wear it myself. My mum wears Opium, and I've always said my signiature scent would have to be a YSL, since it seems to be genetic. I'd probably go for something like Cinema though..

Have finally taken the plunge and registered. Paris is a perfume that I have been wearing for over 20 years now. I still love it. To me it's like a "comfort blanket". Other fragrances have come and gone in that time, Paris however has stayed with me. I love this blog by the way, even though it has made me spend an awful lot of money on fragrance!

My Mom wears Rive Gauche now after years of wearing Opum, I wear Nu in the cold season. Nice thread but I've been having coffee with the neighbors so to speak - Elena at Perfume Shrine has an YSL article on Opium, well worth a read! Interesting!

It's her signature scent - her only scent. My personal favorite is Rive Gauche...and I love the uniqueness of Nu. Can't stand Opium. ;-) Oh, and as for YSL scents, my mom's worn Y for years and years. It's her signature scent – her only scent. My personal favorite is Rive Gauche…and I love the uniqueness of Nu.

I'm not a big rose fan, so perhaps I overlooked it. My dad actually gave me a bottle of Paris a few years ago - one that he found in an antique store, of all places (he knew nothing about the perfume, but he's originally from Paris, so he's drawn to anything and everything French). I didn't even bother to spray it, thinking it must have gone bad, and I didn't want to have a bad first impression of it. I ended up throwing it into a Goodwill bag. Silly me. As for *big* 80's scents, I wore Poison! Loved it! Ha ha. Reminiscing about the 80's…I didn't wear Paris, and actually don't even remember trying it.

It would be cool if they'd do a "dark" flanker instead of all the fruity/fresh ones. Do give it a sniff if you see it, but to me it is way more creamy sweet than dry so not sure it will suit you.
