The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2008, Cinéma Scenario d'Ete by Yves Saint Laurent is a Floral Fruity fragrance that captures the essence of summer with its bright and warm accords. The composition opens with zesty citrus notes from lime and mandarin orange, giving way to sweet florals like jasmine and ylang-ylang. A touch of peach adds a fruity nuance, while musk and amber provide a subtle warmth in the base. This fragrance is designed to evoke the carefree spirit of summer, blending freshness with a hint of sweetness.
For best results, apply Cinéma Scenario d'Ete in light layers. The citrus opening is particularly bright but fades within two hours, so reapply if you want to maintain its fresh character throughout the day. It reads better close to skin than across a room.
