About
Lavalliere by Yves Saint Laurent is a Floral Fruity fragrance for women and men. Lavalliere was launched in 2022. Top notes are Fig, Black Currant and Bergamot; middle notes are Rose, Geranium and Jasmine; base notes are Musk, Vetiver and Cashmeran. Lavallière is a fruity floral fragrance launched in 2022, with notes of rose and fig. Lavallière is that YSL union between masculine & feminine in a fragrance. A silky touch of luscious, delicate notes of creamy fig and sparkling blackcurrant are enhanced by radiant rose, signing this composition with a green floral twist. Taking its name from a woman - the duchess of La Valliere - but originally inspired by men’s accessories, the Lavallière is, by its very nature, gender-neutral. Throughout time, Saint Laurent twisted the Lavallière into the most YSL accessory. In Lavallière, the floral family becomes a fragrant tribute to the most flowing accessory inspiring the most fluid attitude.Top notes: blackcurrant, fig accord, bergamot Heart notes: geranium essence, rose, jasmine absolute Base notes: vetiver essence, cashmeran, musk.Available in two sizes: 75ml and 125ml Eau de Parfum.
