The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

La Collection Yvresse, launched by Yves Saint Laurent in 2011 and crafted by perfumers Jean-Pierre Mary and Sophia Grojsman, is a chypre fruity fragrance for women. The composition opens with the succulent nectarine and litchi, bringing a burst of tropical freshness that contrasts beautifully against the powdery violet heart. As it settles into its base notes, rose and patchouli add depth and warmth, creating a rich and enveloping scent.

How to wear it

Apply this fragrance in light layers for the best effect. The top notes are vibrant but fleeting, while the powdery base lingers throughout the day. It pairs well with warmer weather, making it perfect for spring and summer outings.
