The story behind the bottle.
In Love Again by Yves Saint Laurent was launched in 1998 and is a Floral Fruity fragrance crafted by Jean-Claude Ellena. The composition opens with bright notes of grapefruit, black currant, and blueberry, creating a vibrant and juicy top that feels like a burst of summer fruits. As it develops, the scent transitions into a heart of rose and water lily, adding depth and softness. The base note of musk and sandalwood provides warmth and a subtle sensuality. This fragrance is both fresh and romantic, capturing the essence of falling in love again.
For best effect, apply In Love Again to pulse points. The fruity top notes are bright but fleeting, so layering it over the base will ensure that the warm musk and sandalwood linger throughout the day.

Jean-Claude Ellena
The perfumer of transparencyJean-Claude Ellena is widely regarded as the most intellectual perfumer of the modern era — a minimalist poet whose work redefined what fragrance could be.
“Cézanne's watercolours contain areas of wash that don't overlap. I proceed in a similar fashion.”
