YVRESSE

Sophia Grojsman & Jean-Pierre Mary

Chypre/fruity/floral

For Monsieur Saint Laurent, Yvresse, with its fruity, floral, chypre accords, was an ode to "the marriage of celebration and creativity".

With Yvresse, perfume becomes subversive, and Chypre becomes festive: life can be relished like a champagne, with refinement and intensity.

Yvresse writes another chapter in Yves Saint Laurent's declaration of love to women: a chapter on the freedom that celebrates play, the enjoyment of life and pure pleasure with no restrictive moral standards. A new freedom that proudly asserts itself.
The Yves Saint Laurent woman allows herself to be sensual without being a slave to the gaze of other people: she dances because she loves dancing, without waiting to be asked.

NECTARINE
LYCHEE
ROSE
VIOLET
PATCHOULI

In the head note, the madness of the sparkling, intensified fruity sensation of nectarine and lychee provides sensuality and a touch of the festive in the first few minutes.

In the heart note, the absolute femininity of a rose accord invites the violet to the celebrations.
A flower with a green, sweet, powdery fragrance, the violet adds to the intoxication induced by this perfume, confusing points of reference and working on two levels: one of the only flowers to have successfully established itself in the male palette, it preserves a gustatory aspect reminiscent of childhood.

It blends marvellously with the opening note, as though to draw us still more irresistibly into a festive sensuality full of complicity, inviting an attempt to taste the skin of the woman who wears Yvresse.

The base emerges in a frank, unbridled sensuality that liberates the senses.
The patchouli preserves the ever-present sophistication and elegance of an Yves Saint Laurent woman.
