This is my newest fragrance love. It is called Roses Enchantees by Yves Saint Laurent. The notes are 3 roses(pink,apricot and lilac) with a base of sandalwood. It is like a breath of fresh air. Very pretty and perfect for spring. The price is wonderful at $45-$50. It is available at Nordstom.
It is a version of Paris? Interesting. The same thing is happening with perfumes as with spaghetti sauces. Once upon a time, you had one spaghetti sauce per brand. Then they had smooth and chunky sauces. Now they have garden chunky, meat chunky, mushroom chunky, spicy chunky, etc. It's like what Serge is doing with the Bois scents -- he had Feminite du Bois, then he decided he needed a gazillion wood ideas. Now we will have a gazillion versions of Paris. But it is not bad. It's only slightly maddening to think of choosing one, the way I stand there in the spaghetti sauce aisle, my eye wandering -- do I want spicy? mushroomy? basil-y? cheesy? -- only to pick up a can of crushed tomatoes so I can make my own sauce at home.

Not to mention that the size is 4.2oz. A great bargain for a wonderful juice!
I gave it a quick sniff in NM and it is very pretty! I wore the original many, many years ago.
