How to add MySQL to $PATH variable?

I installed MySQL on my Mac, and now I would like to add it to my $PATH variable. I want to be able to type mysql anywhere.

I tried adding the following to my .profile file:

export PATH=${PATH}/usr/local/mysql/bin/

I have restarted my Terminal but it does not do the trick. It still says: -bash: mysql: command not found.

How can I add this properly to my $PATH?

I am using OS X Yosemite.
