Description
Mon Paris comes out in a new form as Mon Paris Couture in February 2018. This is the third edition of this line after the 2016 original and the Eau de Toilette edition from 2017. Mon Paris Couture is a more floral and more “serious” version of the original, designed to represent a dizzying sense of love. According to the brand, the “Couture” name is not about what you are wearing; it’s an attitude and a feeling that make every moment sparkle.
Mon Paris Couture is announced as a dazzling and sparkling citrus-floral scent. The opulent flower of datura is refreshed with rosebud and citrusy grapefruit accords. The composition retains various notes of the previous editions such as white peony, orange blossom, patchouli and white musk. It is created by the perfume trio Olivier Cresp, Harry Fremont and Dora Baghriche.
YSL Mon Paris Couture will be available as a 30, 50 and 90 ml Eau de Parfum.

Yummy grapefruit! I like a wide range of scent styles, but a lot of times I don’t like citrus scents unless they’re done right. Very fresh. LOVE! I will always have a bottle of this.

is it similar to thierry mugler alien absolue?
please send me a message if you think so..!

LOVE! Such a pretty and sophisticated fruity patchouli. Very similar to Mon Paris original, with a bit more fruitiness and less patchouli. Maybe more raspberry than strawberry. Drydown is also very similar, but the fruitiness stays with Couture. I prefer Couture to the original but I have and adore both! Cannot stop sniffing my wrist while wearing this one!!
One word to describe this scent: intoxicating. I love it so much.

There is now a Mon Paris EDT version that is supposed to have added more citrus and lighter notes. I just ordered it and will update when it arrives. It is not yet in the database.

just got this today & i love it !!! its a sparkly floral scent but light……very easy to wear……….nice compliment to the first mon paris……….its not ground breaking but its a good solid scent that i believe would appeal to most anyone – ok maybe some would say safe scent lol but either way its like light sparkly pink champagne with a dash of flowers 🙂

I love this and its really fresh and pretty. I have the original and which i love as well , this version is like the fresh sweet baby sister of the original with the patch/ras toned down and given a fresh clean soft airy fruity vibe with the mandarin and citrus and this does not smell like Marc Jacobs eau so fresh original scent …only similar tone to compare or make you feel its alike is the bubbly soapy fresh tone under the drydown but rasberry peeks through the mandarin and its fresh n soft but lasts all day …really femme pretty scent. Doesnt smell cheap at all and not headache inducing.

This is to the original Mon Paris what Si Passione is to the original Si for me–infinitely more wearable and likable–and I couldn’t be happier! I like the original Mon Paris, but unfortunately, the patchouli in that one misbehaves horridly on my skin and the raspberry is so loud that it makes me feel ill. In MP Couture, the raspberry and patch have been firmly reined in and I can actually wear this without feeling like an unwashed hippie sucking on a raspberry jolly rancher, LOL. This carries the DNA of MP, but in a much fresher, less in-your-face way and is much appreciated by me. Thank you YSL for taming the patchouli/raspberry beast! 🙂

I am a HUGE fan of the original. In fact, I am wearing it right now. I also love fresh clean and fruity scents. I have not tried this yet and actually went online to buy a backup of my original when I noticed this flanker. My all-time favorite note is peony and this perfume seems to have all of my favorite notes. If I could create my own perfume based on my individual fav notes, it would look like this.
Because of this, I think I am just going to buy this blind instead of backup of the original. I will post an update as soon as I order and receive it.
EDIT: I just received it today and it is the best thing I have ever smelled in my life! just beautiful. I cannot believe it took me so long to find this gem. It is incredibly sweet candy like floral but has managed to not be cloying. It is truly perfect.

Lots of negative type reviews here but I personally really enjoy this fragrance. It is strange to me that there is peony in the mix because peony usually makes me sneeze. Perhaps the difference is this one has white peony? I am not sure if there is a difference there but whatever it is, I do not sneeze while wearing this fragrance. I can’t really smell a lot of grapefruit but this fragrance is so well blended it would be difficult to pick out individual notes. I find it a soft and sensual aroma. I wore it home for my husband to experience before I bought the large bottle and all he wanted to do was….well you can guess. I like the Couture better than the Mon Paris version, but I do really like them both. I get compliments when I wear MPC and it last for a very long time on my skin and even longer on my clothes. I really love the bottle with the purple mix inside. It is simple but elegant. I will reach for this one often. Oh, and I am not a young lady. 😉 I think any age group will love this perfume if it has the notes they are looking for.
Маринка2193 – :
Monotonous and a relentless sweet/citric/fruity effect that doesn’t quit. You better love bitter sharp grapefruit and tart raspberry if you blind buy this one. Not a fan. You can get a much better grapefruit with another brand. Get an aqua allegoria if you are looking for simple and fresh.

I got a sample of this and will be gifting the rest of this to my bff. It does smell nice but on me it smells exactly like Marc Jacob’s Daisy Eau So Fresh. Not similar but exactly the same. My own fault for not paying closer attention to the notes.

I love citrus fragrances but find they dissipate from my skin quickly, which is why this fragrance is so amazing because YSL has managed to create a long-lasting citrus scent, I’m guessing by mixing it with Patchouli and musk. Overall, I would describe it as a complex, balanced and wholly unified scent. Even hours after spraying, I get an intermingling of fruits and flowers, raspberries, lychees, rose etc Being perfectly balanced means that the notes circle like a carousel, maintaining my curiosity.
I have been hunting for a patchouli-themed scent for a while but have struggled to commit so it is a relief to have found this as it plays into the current patchouli trend without having that overwhelming, sticky feeling I get from Black Opium. I also prefer it to Guerlain’s La Petite Robe Noire, which is amazing but has too much too emphasis on Patchouli for my taste.
Some have compared it to Armani’s Because It’s You (BIY) and having done a side-by-side comparison I would say that their top notes give off a similar warm vibe but after an hour of so, they are distinct enough to create very different impressions. BIY is characteristic of the Armani range, warm, sexy and smooth. I get vanilla, some musk and something I can’t quite put my finger on, which notes indicate is probably raspberry. It is consistent whereas Mon Paris Couture is playful, dynamic and flirty probably in the same way as Givenchy’s Hot Couture but void of the leather and Tobacco scents so its less earthy sensuality and more stereotypically romantic in its choice of notes.

This one smells much better than Mon Paris edp and edt as it is not as cloying and sweet as the edp version and there is something young in it, probably the fruity notes.
I can smell raspberry and grapefruit in the very beginning, with raspberry giving it sweetness whilst grapefruit bestowing it freshness, making it a gorgeous fruity scent which is not overly sweet. I can also smell lychi and peony which gives it a hint of floralness and musk which creates a fresh base. After it dries down, it is time for cashmeran, amber and patchouli.
A scent for young girls turning mature, let say girls in their twenties.

I had high hopes for this one. Not sure why, I guess from time to time I’m a sucker for tacky, little things 😉 I’ve got full bottle as a gift and and tested the scent during 3 weeks, different weather, different moods…
It is NOT horrible but it’s also not particularly pleasant to wear. I hit “dislike” on the ratings but I would rather give it “meh” if it was an option 😀
Strong grapefruit morphing into syrupy litchi. Have I smelled it before? Probably. Something in it reminds me of summer Escadas (although Mon Paris Couture could be cloying in hot weather). Possibly that screechy grapefruit note trying to even out the sweetness of litchi and raspberries.
It has decent longevity, 4-5 hours and longer on clothes.

It doesn’t matter if it lasts long.
I don’t understand what the perfumers where thinking this time
YSL even dare to call it a chypre fruity; this is not a chypre fruity, it’s a pure nasty synthetical mess, from beginning to end.
Cheap fruity, not as sweet as the original. Lots of white musk and ambroxan with pear and grapefruit. You have smelled this for sure before.
The fact that it’s fresh and clean and all that stuff doesn’t make it a good quality perfume, nope. There are tons of fruity-floral perfumes out there with better quality.
And let me be clear again: not having any problem with perfumers using chemicals to create perfumes, all perfumes have chemicals,none is completely made out of essential oils, but if it flat out smells like synthetics, it’s just bad quality
mks134JeomiWogkig – :
It is true, YSL MP Couture has a high Escada content, it smells like easy beach party by sunset, there is nothing couture in it. MP EDP has much more character and weight even despite the playful strawberry. A bit disappointing.
rip532speagoessenda – :
Another flanker… well, better than the original fir me anyway, the original sweet strawberry just sits there and it’s a nope. This is very perfumes, makeup-y
I’ll just find my notes and update
denis.rochev – :
I have to agree this does share similarities with ‘Because it’s you’, although it’s got a lot less vanilla and musk, that raspberry note is the predominant link. I like this, it’s nice, but it’s not amazing. It does have similarities to the Mon Paris EDT, which I also have. I do find this a lot ‘younger’, probably aimed towards a younger market. Although, I’m not that market! I’ll still wear it.
This is fruity! I find the litchi quite detectable, especially in the opening, along with lots of peony, grapefruit, bergamot and a raspberry overload. On first spray I thought it had ‘Escada vibes’ and I wonder if anyone else gets that?
Anyway, I like it, the bottles are very pretty! But as with these flankers, they make one nice bottle and just save money by sticking a different bow on it and colouring the juice a bit different, which is a bit cheeky!
It’s a Spring/Summer scent and maybe it’s a more wearable Escada? I dunno, I like it. But it’s not mind-blowing in the least, which is kind of a shame, it would be nice to have something really exceptional from YSL, I do like them a lot, but they aren’t always particularly innovative.
I think the peony overtakes the rose a lot and that the fruitiness takes over all of it! But my skin amps up fruity notes, so perhaps that’s just me.
Longevity is about 5 hours and the sillage shouts at the beginning but dies down to arm’s length for the rest of the duration.

smells almost identical to Armani Because It’s You!
fuga88 – :
This fragrance is gorgeous!It is a heavy rich and very syrupy sweet version of standard EDP.It is very fruity and softly citrussy.I was gonna get a back up bottle of the original EDP but I will get Couture instead.Both sillage and longevity are outstanding,however because of its richnes It will perform better in cooler months.The name is spot on,Couture is a modern and sophisticated fragrance with a flirty fruity twist and smells amazing
lolol – :
Finally fragrantica add this one!
I have it about a month now and it’s very-very rose based perfume.It’s much more on the floral-fresh side with the grapefruit and raspberry and of course the dominant musky base.
The opening it’s very fresh much more fresher than the original,yes there is the raspberry and the other fruits but in a fresh summery-spring way .This version is more airy and floral.The dominant note is the grapefruit with a big dose of rose-peony and raspberry plus the musky base.It has a very plastic smell which I don’t like and I think this is the mix of grapefruit and peony(on me).
Not something new but for those who think the original Mon Paris is too sweet and cloying than try this one.How I said it’s a rose based perfume and it’s a floral-fruity scent I don’t smell any chypre note.It’s pretty fresh-floral-light.Perfect for spring and maybe summer.
The sillage is very good and the longevity it’s moderate(5-6 hours).
The juice is now more purple and the bow has metallic dots this time.
