After having conceived, sketched and designed a complete feminine wardrobe, Yves Saint Laurent is now composing a perfume wardrobe inspired by iconic items that define the label’s history. Caftan, trench, saharienne, caban and tuxedo have been transformed into signature scents for women.

The spirit and universe of each selected garment has been examined and analyzed before choosing the ingredients required.

Characterized by the colour black and a matte texture, the Tuxedo scent is represented by a mix of spices and patchouli; the comfortable aspect of Caban is interpreted by tonka bean and pink pepper whereas the sunny luminosity of the Saharienne is felt through notes of neroli and white musk. The exotic character of the Caftan is highlighted by notes of incense and benzoin while the refinement of the Trench is expressed through citrus-fruit notes and iris flower.
