Launched in 2015 and crafted by Calice Becker, Caftan by Yves Saint Laurent is an oriental fragrance that weaves together warm spice, amber, and musk into a rich blend. The composition opens with the bright freshness of pink pepper and tangerine, which give way to the earthy warmth of benzoin and olibanum. Labdanum and styrax add depth, while the base notes of musk create an enveloping, comforting scent that feels both luxurious and inviting.

Application Tips
Apply Caftan to pulse points for an intimate warmth that stays close to your skin rather than filling the room. The top notes are vibrant but fleeting, so give it a moment to settle into its spicy, amber heart before heading out.
