Launched in 2014 by Yves Saint Laurent and crafted by Sophia Grojsman, YSL Paris L'Edition Venini is a floral fragrance that captures the essence of refined elegance. The composition opens with bright green notes and currant buds, creating an immediate freshness that contrasts beautifully with the rich complexity of its heart and base notes. At its core, it features a lush blend of rose, orange blossom, jasmine, and ylang-ylang, which are anchored by powdery accords of orris and heliotrope. The woody and spicy undertones add depth, making this fragrance both lasting and modern.

Application Tips
This fragrance blooms best when applied to pulse points. Allow it a few minutes to settle before layering on additional sprays if needed. The green notes are vivid at first but quickly give way to the floral heart, which develops into a powdery warmth over time.

Founding perfumer · 55 fragrances · American
As a child, in Belarus, this perfume queen-to-be would run around the garden smelling roses and jasmine, leaving her toys untouched, dismissed. After studying chemistry at university, she emigrated to New York and joined the IFF laboratories where she learned the art of perfumery under the guidance of Ernest Shiftan, one of the greatest American perfumers in history. Sophia was the first perfumer to inverse classical proportions of ingredients in perfumes, having discovered that an overdose of a certain ingredient could propel it to the top of the perfume’s structure. She combined this revolutionary technique with classical perfume structures to create a truly unique aesthetic, one that was to forever shape the art of perfume making. She was also well-known for her endless fascination with rose, a flower she uses in most of her creations. At Frédéric Malle’s request, she applied herself for the first time to the art of scented candles.
