About This Perfume
Exquisite Embroidery by Yves Saint Laurent is a Oriental Floral fragrance for women and men. Exquisite Embroidery was launched in 2017. The nose behind this fragrance is Hamid Merati-Kashani. Top notes are Nutmeg and Ginger; middle notes are Rose and Patchouli; base notes are Ambergris, Agarwood (Oud) and Musk. Exquisite Embroidery is a fragrance that represents artisanal embroidery on lavish and heavy fabrics. It opens with fresh and spicy ginger – nutmeg combination, leading to the oriental rose – patchouli heart, settling on the base of ambergris, oud and musk. The composition is developed by perfumer Hamid Merati. Yves Saint Laurent dedicated a special collection of perfumes to its famous pieces of clothing. Le Vestiaire des Parfums line premiered in fall 2015 with five editions, followed by the first sub-collection Le Vestiaire des Parfums Collection de Nuit in September 2016 with three new fragrances. In September 2017, a new line within this concept will be available at selected stores worldwide - Le Vestiaire des Parfums Oriental Collection - featuring five new perfumes inspired by de designer’s trips, mostly to Morocco. Available as a 75 ml Eau de Parfum.
