The story behind the bottle.
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.
Apply one or two sprays to pulse points — the fruity top notes are bright but don't last long. The floral heart and warm base will emerge after about an hour, making this fragrance perfect for daytime wear that transitions into evening.
