La Collection In Love Again by Yves Saint Laurent, launched in 2011 and crafted by perfumers Jean-Claude Ellena and Mark Buxton, is a composition that balances the vibrant energy of fresh fruits with delicate floral notes. Black currant and mandarin orange open the fragrance with a zesty burst, while peony and rose add layers of softness and sweetness. The inclusion of blackberry and musk in the base rounds out the scent with a warm, sensuous finish.

Jean-Claude Ellena
Founding perfumer · 104 fragrances · French
As a disciple and close friend of the legendary Edmond Roudnitska (creator of “Le Parfum de Thérèse”), Jean-Claude Ellena began his career with a minimalistic approach to perfumery. Since then, he has developed this approach into his own distinctive style, which is continually informed by his elegant and quiet way of being, and has been compared by his contemporaries to watercolor sketches and chamber music. Jean-Claude says that a perfume must be like “a soft caress; nothing must shock, nothing must shout”.Jean-Claude Ellena was born in Grasse into a family of perfumers. His training began at age 17, in the most prestigious laboratories – in Grasse, Paris, New York and Geneva – where he always saw himself as self-taught. Roudnitska’s minimalism never left him, however, and his compositions remain focused around a single ingredient, avoiding repetition.
