7 Fragrances Similar to Mon Paris

Mon Paris has been a fun and popular fragrance from YSL, with its blend of fruits and floral notes. A classic combination to be sure, but it’s sweetness and depth has made it a perfume with plenty of mass appeal. But, what if you’re looking for something similar, less expensive, or along the same lines as Mon Paris? This page will be dedicated to my running list of scents that are alike.

What Fragrances Smell Similar to Mon Paris by YSL?

She is Mine by La Rive– She is Mine comes within striking distance of the aroma of Mon Paris, at a much cheaper price point, but not exactly.

The berries, pear, and general fruitiness of the YSL is all there. However, this one doesn’t have the same floral or musk levels as found in our target. Plus, the vanilla note is pretty prominent here.

The sweetness is ramped up here it seems, just less depth, and overall staying power from this La Rive. Not exactly the same, but this one does a pretty good impression versus what you pay for it.

Ciao by Vince Camuto– Ciao isn’t among my personal favorite Camuto scents, but it does give us much of what we’re looking for in comparison to Mon Paris. Not to say that it’s a bad perfume, it certainly does have its charm.

This is another one that is in the same ballpark as Mon Paris, while for sure not being an exact match. Here, you get a mass of berries to kick things off. To me, the YSL has a mix of berries and pear up top, that is reminiscent of what you find here.

Ciao is sweet and jammy, more so than our target fragrance. Peony and rose are coming along to aid in the similarities, but in the early stages the lily and passionflower give the Camuto its real distinction.

It’s nice enough, solid performance, and a closely related to style to what we’re looking for. Worth a try, if you can get it for cheap.

212 Heroes Forever Young– The fruitiness is basically what you get with Mon Paris, the biggest difference will be in the floral accord. 212 Heroes Forever also lacks that pear note, that hits early in the YSL.

Forever moves away from the rose, peony, and datura found in Mon Paris. It does have the same jasmine note, just occupying a much bigger place in the composition than our target scent.

A fruity clean white floral fragrance with some added orange blossom and light woods. I like its freshness and while not a one to one match with Mon Paris, Forever gives you plenty to like with a similar style.

Pink Me Up by Atelier des Ors– Pink Me Up is a nice little fragrance, that has Mon Paris Intensement similarities.

However, the champagne note in Pink, sets it apart from either of the YSL perfumes. The notes are different, but the structure is very much alike. Here blackberry and champagne early on, with the rose (like Intensement) playing more of a role, as it dries down.

Towards the end, both fragrances are sweet, musky, rose-dominated floral blends. Not exactly the same, but liking one, will likely mean that the other would work for you as well. This is sweeter and more dynamic than Intensement.

Note that Pink is much more expensive and you pretty much need to order it online. So, not going to be one for those on a tighter budget.

Coach Coach New York, 1 Fl Oz– Coach EDP is one that has a very close fruity and floral profile similar to Mon Paris, but it also does things quite enough differently to be distinct.

This one features notes of pear and raspberry, going less floral, but still including notes such as rose.

The raspberry here is very dominant early, giving it a sweet aroma, with a smooth suede note included. In the dry down, it is a slightly fruity mix with a lot of clean-ish smelling flowers. At this stage, it is more about the pear with a bit of a powdery aroma from the floral notes.

Performance wise, Coach EDP is solid with 7-8 hours of wear and a good ability to project, without the sillage being too massive.

Valentina Pink by Valentino– Valentina Pink is another one using berries and roses to create a closely related style to Mon Paris. This one, goes with blackberry like some others on the list, but the strawberry will be the biggest factor in the mix.

The rose is heavier with this perfume, also. While it has the same peony and musk notes, they don’t seem to have the same level as Mon Paris. It’s sweeter (praline), has a more linear use of the floral notes, and a powdery quality to it.

Pink isn’t my favorite on the list, but it could also work quite well for someone who wants a perfume of this type, with nice performance.

Kate Spade New York– Kate Spade New York is highlighted early on by a strawberry note that is paired with a citrusy mix. It’s bright, fresh, and somewhat naturalistic fruity notes versus something that is synthetic sugary.

A bit sweet, a bit tart in the beginning stages. Then, some greenish notes and the rose essence will come through. The rose really isn’t heavy in this perfume, it’s there, just never punching you in the face with its presence.

The strawberry retains its hold for the duration, along with some cashmeran wood, floral notes, and the ambroxan note.

This isn’t one that’s an exact replica of the Mon Paris formula, but this perfume will give you a lot of the same style if you’re a fan of Mon Paris. Kate Spade New York review
