About This Perfume

It opens with white lavender, Calabrian bergamot and Calabrian mandarin orange, moves into provençal lavender, french lavender and Moroccan orange blossom and settles on ambergris, Bourbon vanilla and heliotrope. It leans feminine, though anyone can wear it.
This parfum works across all four seasons and is an evening scent. It suits date nights. Released in 2023.
Wearers report that it lasts through a full day, and projects to about arm's length.

Most-Discussed Yves Saint Laurent Perfumes
Community chatter about Yves Saint Laurent centres on Black Opium, Babycat and Libre.
How the picks are built
Black Opium (Eau de Parfum, 2014) smells like sweet coffee, creamy vanilla, warm floral, starting with orange blossom and pink pepper before vanilla, patchouli and cedar take over. Babycat (Parfum, 2022) reads as warm vanilla suede, smoky pepper and resin, opening on black pepper and elemi resin and drying down to vanilla, suede and cedarwood. Libre (Eau de Parfum, 2019) is described as fresh lavender and orange blossom, creamy vanilla; the opening brings neroli and mandarin orange, and the base settles on bourbon vanilla, musk and ambergris.
