The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2009 by Yves Saint Laurent and crafted by perfumer Michel Hy, Young Sexy Lovely Couture Collection 2009 is a Floral Fruity fragrance for women. The composition opens with bright black currant and mandarin orange before transitioning into the floral heart of cherry blossom and magnolia. The base notes of musk, Virginia cedar, and amber lend warmth and depth to this fresh and sweet scent. It captures the essence of youthful sophistication, blending fruity vibrancy with floral elegance.
Apply two sprays to pulse points for optimal longevity. The fruity top notes are bright but fleeting, so let the floral heart and woody base take center stage as they develop on your skin.
