I'm new to perfume so it's funny how taste in scent can be so diverse. I love YSL's Opium but damnit I wouldn't mind smelling like a whorish, drunkard, college student. Plus I have a weird soft spot for Ralph so I'm not fussy! ;)
@pascha120 Our tastes in perfume are influenced by our emotions and smell associations. And also by our lack of associations...eg people who came of age in the 60s might smell patchouli and think "hippie", while younger noses smell it and think "Thierry Mugler Angel".
Hello Katie! I'm writing from Brazil, today I watched one of your videos for the first time and I watched 3 or 4 of them in a row. I really like your reviews. You were so right on loving Miss Dior Cherie and Parisienne. These two are my favorite perfums, although my brother told me I smell like "panties" when I wear Parisienne.
I love this perfume..its one of my favs :) I'm way into it and "Rose the one" right now :) I adore anything by YSL..my last fav of theirs was "Babydoll" did you do a review on that one ?..thank you.
omg u were so right if u love the miss dior cherie, that you'll love parisienne. Miss dior cherie, was my favorite, or course till i smelled ysl. i love ur videos!!
Walk of shame perfume? Probably Juice Couture Viva La Juicy - it smells great on the bottle but on me, if smells like hooker, but not the classy one. Very overbearing and sickly sweet. Smells like the gal you wouldn't want to take home to home, and therefore is the walk of shame perfume. (Please take no offense to those who love it, it just doesn't work with me).
@benzchic909 i completely agree with you! on me, viva la juicy reminds me of that girl who has like 5 shots in the first 30 minutes of the party and spends the rest of the time puking in a bush.
@AMDs44 Scent doesn't have a gender - you should wear what makes you dream. A fragrance is really you plus the juice. You and your personality provide the frame of reference for the perfume. If you choose Parisienne to wear, I'm sure it suits you!
I got this one yesterday and I love it ! I can vaguely smell the vinyl when I sniff the bottle but when I spray it on myself it smells more musky and woody than anything else .
Totally without character ... playing it safe with artificial rose ... so déjà vu....(yet another in a crowd of similar / same) with short-wave synthetic fragrances .. poor stability on the skin. Faceless . Commercial campaign has been so promising ..... ahhh.
The Nose: Sophie Grojsman .. better to keep away from roses and YSL (Paris Premier Roses Paris Roses des Verges, both disappointing)....
@renataloncar I was trying so hard to see the merit in this one, because I was hoping this might be a mainstream rose scent that was appealing to younger fumeheads. I guess I shall keep hoping.
I feel like the vinyl/nail polish notes are the result of synthetic fruit that they just couldn't get to smell right. So the perfumers figured if they just acknowledge it in the notes, it's no longer a cheap, synthetic twang, bit rather it's "modern" or something.
hey katie.. i'm a big fan of ur videos. i need some advice.between stella and parisienne ,which one should i buy.. i really like both but can buy only one (thts all tht my allowance allows :( ) so which one would u recommend?
@Peregrine77 I don't know what aroma chemical is responsible for it. but I can sure smell it. I sort of vibrates between plastic and nail polish. It's the kind of thing it's hard to believe was included on purpose, but there it is in the official list of ingredients.
I read other reviews before I smelled this my self because I am 19 and I hate fragrances that smell too old like white diamond or smelling like a cheap date (cough) " any Britney spears or Paris Hilton" this is nice, light, and does make me feel sophisticated and sexy while being elegant for my age! I have not smelled Paris but this scent might just because a new signature scent. And I think it's not just for older ladies in their thirties.
I love this perfume! I got it for Christmas and my bottle is already less than half full. My husband laughs when I put it on all through the day and even before bed ;-)
I don't have a perfume that screams walk of shame to me...yet, but Givenchy's Ange ou Demon, smells like the beautiful, but shy girl next door, that secretly strips for a living. That's what came to mind, when I smelled it for the first time, at least! LOL And when I first put it on, It has an effervescence to it, that reminded me of opening a can of Dr.Pepper (which is the reason why I bought it.) :D What can I say I love Dr.Pepper!
I do not get this fragrance. I think box is boring and the bottle looks cheap for YSL. I am not impressed with the fragrance either. The classic Paris is far better than this weak attempt to attract a younger customer. The best part of Parisienne for me was it's ad campaign. I do not think this scent will be around long.
Hahaha you're so funny! It's true though. Once there's a bad association with a perfume (aka you got the worst hungover in life while wearing it), then you will never be able to wear it again without being reminded....
I smelled it in Harper's Bazaar magazine, I don't like it at all! It's so harsh and idk smells like bug spray or something. Have you smelled D&G the one? I hate it and it reminds me of that
Magazine strips don't give the you the whole picture of the scent, but I agree there is a certain odd nail-polishy smell at the beginning of this one that can be a bit harsh before it mellows out.
Yes, it probably had more cache years ago. Now, it reminds me of aging Las Vegas strippers...or church ladies...whatever your frame of reference is :-) Shalimar on the other hand still retains that "can't stop smelling my wrist" aspect.
May be she was talking about Paris... Hilton. Now that is the fragrance of the walk of shame, and not only because of the homonimus character, but because the ashamed walker does leave a silage of PH. You did really lit my lightbulb when you mentioned Paris. There are quite a few fragrances which try to do a modern chic rose, but Parisienne is a definite win.
On my quest of clean smelling scents, I did happen to try Clean's Shower Fresh...Which I think in very very small doeses is not bad...But also too expensive to smell like fabric softener...I could use Febreeze for much cheaper...Alas, the search continues!
Today at Bath and Body Works, I discovered one of the PINK fragrances that I actually liked...Pure and Soft (the one with the green cap). It smells so clean and soft. I can't wait to try it. Even though it is a body spray, I was pleasantly surprised. And doesn't smell like fabric softener :-)
Hi there - long time no hear! Yes, Pink Butterfly has her fans. I just thing she's a big blast of power and sweetness, always handy when trying to cover up the previous evening's indiscretions.
Have you reviewed Vanilla Noir on your channel yet?
Well, it took about an hour before Parisienne no longer singed my nosehairs...then it faded to almost nothing. I've always hated YSL fragrances though. They always smell old lady on me -including the ones that are designed for a younger crowd (I'm looking at you Baby Doll). I'll pass on this one...I'll have to think about this 'walk of shame' fragrance. haha
this was hilarious! hahaha but i tend to like the majority of YSL perfumes :D they're lovely :) pour homme is one of my favorite colognes! but i lost my entire bottle :(
my other perfume might be a little cheesy by stila called jade blossom. imho it smells great!
i called the company and they said they had to temporariuly stop making it bc there was a delay in a particular scent/flower from asia. sephora isnt carrying it either. i have nearly run out dry on it, but i have paused at buying it at a perfume retailer bc i dont know if they are trsutworthy. do you think its okay to buy from perfume (discount) retailers... buying it at another shoppe?
I'd be concerned if it was a blockbuster Dior or Burberry perfume, cuz the bigger hits are more in danger of being counterfeited at those ramshackle discount shops. But you're probably OK with the Stila scent. Have you tried one of the big online discounters?
@KatiePuckrikSmells just looking at your page.... i feel as if i have seen your book before... maybe bc i read a lot of magazines. or saw it in the bookstore. very cool. ill have to check it out.
I make a connection between the sweet strawberry & rose with patchouli drydown of Miss Dior Chérie, and the sweet raspberry & rose with patchouli drydown of Parisienne.
However, Miss Dior Chérie is sweeter than Parisienne. And Parisienne's rose is stronger than Miss Dior Chérie's.
lol memory lane ;) interesting there is raspberry in it. i love raspberry and have raspberry everything... and rose. and i like the smell of this perfume from the magazine inserts ive smelled it.
i like to here what you have to say about different perfumes, cause i know i like some perfumes and not others but i dont know why. its interesting what you smell/sense of them :)
Parisienne smells like hairspray on me. So like a college sorority house with ten women sharing a bathroom, doing their makeup and hair right BEFORE going out.. not the walk home!
Walk of shame scents: The ross nasty body splashes that peoplee used way too much of in high school...A la Bath and Body Works Cucumber Melon and Victoria's Secret Love Spell...It didn't work to make the locker room smell any better, nor will it help cover up the stench of bodily secretions, alcohol, and vomit...
Any suggestions on simple "out of the shower" kind of scents? Not to cover up the college benders, but just on those days you want to feel fresh and clean.
haha that would be mine too with the Strawberry and Champange Victoria Secret, cause those bottles are plastic and were perfect for stuffing in the backpack, lol. A good shower would be Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue, it's one of those perfumes I think that you have to be the right bod chemistry to wear, on me it smells like a day at everywhere there is lemon beach, but on my co-worker it's fresh and gorgeous!
ive got parisienne and i love it but when i first spray it on its grapefruits i smell then eventually the deep violet and sexy sandalwood its like an aphrodisiac or that little blue pill in a perfume spray !! lol xx
loved this when i smelled it from the bottle at sephora, sprayed it on to let it settle and see how i felt after a few hours (figuring i would go back and buy it before i left the mall) ...it gave me a headache within 20 minutes!! it was the weirdest thing ever, especially because i did NOT spray a lot of it.... oh well, still on the hunt for a new scent!
Please review Lola by Marc Jacobs! It's a bit late for me as I already bought it, but whatever you'd have to say on it would definitely make me laugh :D
Pink Sugar makes me think of a precocious tween who comes home wearing a scarf (despite the 102 degree heat outside) to hide the hickies, and chewing on altoids to hide the wine cooler breath.
In other words, the tween version of the walk of shame.
Hi Katie - I have been wearing Chanel Chance for what seems like this entire decade and I love it.... but cannot describe it to save my life. What are your thoughts?
I just got Parisienne as a sample from sephora order and I LOVE it. Good timing for your review. Always nice to have another set of nostrils to check it out.
Katie, you are just so funny. I always find an excuse to buy perfume and my boyfriend does not understand this. He does not understand why you should need more than one bottle. Can I ask how many perfume bottles you own ?
I love parisienne although i wasn't too fond of the original Paris- i find my taste in perfume has really changed as i get older- i used to love all those heavy poison type ones but now ive just gone right off em, anyways keep up the good work Katie i love perfume!
This is a tough one, because really the only sister of No. 5 Eau Première are her big sisters, Chanel No. 5 EdT, EdP and parfum. It's the aldehydes atop the the fizzy lemon-lime & plush florals that makes Eau Première what it is.
Having said that, here are some aldehydic fragrances that have that bright, clean feeling:
Hehe you crack me up Katie!
Tried this one a few days ago and loved it (such a sucker for roses) or at least I think I loved it. Serves me right for not having a pen on me at the time b/c I'm not sure if I tried this/extreme/L'Essentiel b/c the bottles are so similar.
I'm new to perfume so it's funny how taste in scent can be so diverse. I love YSL's Opium but damnit I wouldn't mind smelling like a whorish, drunkard, college student. Plus I have a weird soft spot for Ralph so I'm not fussy! ;)

Katie,pleas what the similarities between CD Sherie&YSL Parisien? I am wearing the first(in love with it) &tried the other and hated it(:

I make a connection between the sweet strawberry & rose with patchouli drydown of Miss Dior Chérie, and the sweet raspberry & rose with patchouli drydown of Parisienne.
However, Miss Dior Chérie is sweeter than Parisienne. And Parisienne's rose is stronger than Miss Dior Chérie's.

thank you Katie

Be sure to try it first to make sure it works for you. Better safe than sorry.
KatiePuckrikSmells 2 years ago
good idea, dont want it to smell musky...
tranquilbluesky 2 years ago
lol memory lane ;) interesting there is raspberry in it. i love raspberry and have raspberry everything... and rose. and i like the smell of this perfume from the magazine inserts ive smelled it.
i like to here what you have to say about different perfumes, cause i know i like some perfumes and not others but i dont know why. its interesting what you smell/sense of them :)
tranquilbluesky 2 years ago
Perfumes are all little mysteries in a bottle. They more you smell different ones and compare them, the more their reveal their secrets.

Parisienne smells like hairspray on me. So like a college sorority house with ten women sharing a bathroom, doing their makeup and hair right BEFORE going out.. not the walk home!
HowDoIFortune 2 years ago
I totally get that. It's that "fragranced hair 'n' body products" free-for-all.

Walk of shame scents: The ross nasty body splashes that peoplee used way too much of in high school...A la Bath and Body Works Cucumber Melon and Victoria's Secret Love Spell...It didn't work to make the locker room smell any better, nor will it help cover up the stench of bodily secretions, alcohol, and vomit...
Any suggestions on simple "out of the shower" kind of scents? Not to cover up the college benders, but just on those days you want to feel fresh and clean.
Thanks! :)

haha that would be mine too with the Strawberry and Champange Victoria Secret, cause those bottles are plastic and were perfect for stuffing in the backpack, lol. A good shower would be Dolce and Gabbana Light Blue, it's one of those perfumes I think that you have to be the right bod chemistry to wear, on me it smells like a day at everywhere there is lemon beach, but on my co-worker it's fresh and gorgeous!

nooooo I love Lolita Lempicka! I think its one of those fumes that totally depends on your chemistry... hopefully? I don't want to smell like a WoS!

I think it's all in the application, especially with the more dramatic perfumes. Over-spraying can smell like you're trying to cover up the evidence!
KatiePuckrikSmells 2 years ago
ive got parisienne and i love it but when i first spray it on its grapefruits i smell then eventually the deep violet and sexy sandalwood its like an aphrodisiac or that little blue pill in a perfume spray !! lol xx

what do you think of Anna Sui purple black bottle - eau de toilette?
miziroo 2 years ago
loved this when i smelled it from the bottle at sephora, sprayed it on to let it settle and see how i felt after a few hours (figuring i would go back and buy it before i left the mall) ...it gave me a headache within 20 minutes!! it was the weirdest thing ever, especially because i did NOT spray a lot of it.... oh well, still on the hunt for a new scent!
xxxxdanielleeee 2 years ago
i agree, the first smell is gorgeous, but when it lingers it goes horrible and you cant wash it off!

Please review Lola by Marc Jacobs! It's a bit late for me as I already bought it, but whatever you'd have to say on it would definitely make me laugh :D

Pink Sugar makes me think of a precocious tween who comes home wearing a scarf (despite the 102 degree heat outside) to hide the hickies, and chewing on altoids to hide the wine cooler breath.
In other words, the tween version of the walk of shame.

Hi Katie - I have been wearing Chanel Chance for what seems like this entire decade and I love it.... but cannot describe it to save my life. What are your thoughts?
EdensApple80 2 years ago
Chance is a sweet floral oriental. Starts out a bit fruity, ends up woody and a bit heavy.
KatiePuckrikSmells 2 years ago
uhhh i love it! im going out today to buy that one and elizabeth arden pretty

Katie, you are just so funny. I always find an excuse to buy perfume and my boyfriend does not understand this. He does not understand why you should need more than one bottle. Can I ask how many perfume bottles you own ?

I love parisienne although i wasn't too fond of the original Paris- i find my taste in perfume has really changed as i get older- i used to love all those heavy poison type ones but now ive just gone right off em, anyways keep up the good work Katie i love perfume!
liza6458 2 years ago

Dear Katie, how about recommendations for sister or little sister of Eau Premiere? TY!
a7astas13a 2 years ago
This is a tough one, because really the only sister of No. 5 Eau Première are her big sisters, Chanel No. 5 EdT, EdP and parfum. It's the aldehydes atop the the fizzy lemon-lime & plush florals that makes Eau Première what it is.
Having said that, here are some aldehydic fragrances that have that bright, clean feeling:
Narciso Rodriguez Essence
Estée Lauder Pure White Linen Light Breeze
For the citrus/floral combo, try these:
Chanel Chance Eau Fraîche
Chanel Cristalle Eau Verte
Gucci Envy
KatiePuckrikSmells 2 years ago
And to qualify those citrus/floral choices, I was skewing younger, since you did say "little sister" to Eau Première.
KatiePuckrikSmells 2 years ago
