The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2017, 37 rue de Bellechasse by Yves Saint Laurent is an Oriental Woody fragrance for both women and men, crafted by perfumers Cécile Matton and Julie Massé. The composition opens with a warm spicy accord that introduces a smoky complexity, which later evolves into the heart of iris and powdery notes. This base is anchored by rich balsamic, musky, and oud accords, creating an enveloping warmth that feels both intimate and luxurious.
Apply this fragrance in light layers — its smoky base notes bloom slowly over time. The powdery heart adds depth as it settles, making it ideal for evening wear when you want a warm, enveloping presence.
