REVIEW: YSL Parisienne

A few weeks back I was asked to work on the fragrance counter at Boots. At first, I was petrified. I was worried that people were going to come up to me and say things like, 'I'm looking for a floral scent, can you recommend one?' I'm not great at describing scents at all and the perfume cabinets quite frankly scare the living daylights out of me but it wasn't too bad and I enjoyed it. 
At one point during the day, a woman was trying out perfumes and she sprayed one which I adored. I had no idea what the scent was but I decided to walk around the area where the smell was coming from and try out the testers available. As soon as I sprayed YSL's Parisienne I knew it was 'the one.' When it comes to perfumes I don't have many. I have all of the Britney Spears ones and they're pretty much the only ones that I wear and I only buy them because I'm a fan (I guess it's lucky that I love the smell of them too). So this was  my first 'high end, proper' perfume purchase and I love it so much. I went back into Boots the following week and saw that this was on offer. It was down from £42 to £27.99 (with my staff discount). I couldn't get the scent off of my mind the entire week so I knew that I just had to buy it. And I'm so glad that I did. Like I mentioned earlier, I'm useless at describing scents. It's very sweet-like, reminds me of parma violets in a way so if that's your forte, definitely nip into Boots or Debenhams and have a sniff. It's still on offer and you never know, it could be your love too!
