Why YSL Is Popular as Eau de Parfum?
Many YSL fragrances come as an eau de parfum. This means they are richer and will generally last longer than an eau de toilette. This makes them a great option for evenings, events and colder months. If you are looking for a luxury eau de parfum then YSL is a popular place to start. Take a look at our eau de parfum page to learn more.
Seasonal Scents
During the spring go for a light floral scent. During the summer less sprays should be used and apply to clean skin. As it is warmer the eau de parfum will be stronger. During the autumn and winter go for a warmer fragrance like Libre or Mon Paris.

How To Wear YSL Eau de Parfum?
As YSL eau de parfum is a concentrated fragrance you will only need to spray between one and three times. Spray onto clean and moisturized skin focusing on the neck, inside of the wrists and inside of the elbows. Pat the fragrance onto your skin rather than rub. If wearing during the summer less sprays should be used and apply to clean skin as the fragrance will be stronger.
Choosing Between Libre and Mon Paris
Libre is a bold and warm fragrance with lavender and orange blossom notes. If you like bold and modern florals then this is perfect. Mon Paris is a sweet and romantic fragrance with berry and white flower notes. If you like a softer and sweeter fragrance then this is perfect. If you are unsure then go for a smaller bottle or travel spray so you can test both.
Different Sizes and Value
There are a few different sizes of YSL fragrances. Some can be refilled. If you know you love the fragrance then the larger bottle will generally be cheaper per ounce. If you are looking to buy a fragrance for the first time then the smaller size is best. Compare the amount of ounces or milliliters and check the concentration to ensure you are comparing the same version.
