Old Paris

Old Paris (1983) is a floral composition built on an unusually dense pyramid. The opening layers rose, mimosa, hyacinth, geranium, green notes, orange blossom, nasturtium, bergamot, hawthorn and cassia — a bright, green-tinged floral burst with a faint spicy edge from the cassia. As it settles, the heart reveals rose, violet, lily, lime blossom, ylang-ylang, lily-of-the-valley, jasmine and orris root, giving a full, rounded bouquet that reads distinctly powdery thanks to the orris.

The base of iris, heliotrope, musk, sandalwood, oakmoss, amber and cedar anchors the florals in a soft, mossy warmth. Collectors drawn to classic powdery florals — rose and violet above all — will find this rewarding; it suits those who appreciate vintage-style bouquets rather than modern minimalism. Best for cooler weather or evening wear, and a strong candidate for anyone building a YSL archive. Expect a rich, layered floral that rewards slow wearing.

Old Paris（1983）係一款結構非常密集嘅花香香水。前調以玫瑰、含羞草、風信子、天竺葵、綠葉、橙花、金蓮花、佛手柑、山楂同桂皮組成，開場係帶綠意同微微辛香嘅明亮花香。中調轉入玫瑰、紫羅蘭、百合、椴樹花、依蘭、鈴蘭、茉莉同鳶尾根，形成飽滿圓潤嘅花束，因為鳶尾根而呈現明顯嘅粉感。

基調用鳶尾、天芥菜、麝香、檀香、橡苔、琥珀同雪松收尾，將花香穩穩托住，帶出柔和嘅苔木暖意。鍾意經典粉感花香、特別係玫瑰同紫羅蘭嘅收藏者會覺得值得；適合秋冬或者夜晚場合，亦適合想建立 YSL 香水收藏嘅人。
