The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 1984 by Givenchy and crafted by Dominique Ropion, Ysatis is a sophisticated chypre floral that blends traditional elegance with modern warmth. The composition opens with aldehydes and citrus notes, creating an immediate sense of crispness and brightness. This gives way to a heart of ylang-ylang, orange blossom, jasmine, and tuberose, which are enveloped in a musky, warm spicy base enriched by civet and sandalwood. Ysatis is a lasting creation that embodies Givenchy's reputation for chic elegance.
Apply Ysatis to pulse points in light layers for a lasting impression. The aldehydes and citrus notes are bright but fleeting, so it's the musky and powdery base that carries through the day, ensuring that Ysatis remains subtle yet unmistakable.
