Launched in 1993 and crafted by Sophia Grojsman, Yvresse Champagne is a chypre fruity fragrance that embodies the effervescent elegance of its namesake. The composition opens with a vibrant burst of peach, nectarine, and apricot, evoking the freshness of a perfectly ripe fruit basket. This luminous top notes give way to a heart infused with rose, jasmine, and lily-of-the-valley, adding a delicate floral touch that is both sweet and powdery. The base notes of amber, vanilla, patchouli, and musk create a warm, enveloping finish that feels like the comforting embrace of a luxurious cashmere sweater.

Application Tips
One to two sprays is sufficient as Yvresse Champagne has a strong longevity and sillage. The fruity top notes are bright but fade quickly, so allow it time for the powdery and floral heart to develop before venturing out.

Founding perfumer · 55 fragrances · American
As a child, in Belarus, this perfume queen-to-be would run around the garden smelling roses and jasmine, leaving her toys untouched, dismissed. After studying chemistry at university, she emigrated to New York and joined the IFF laboratories where she learned the art of perfumery under the guidance of Ernest Shiftan, one of the greatest American perfumers in history. Sophia was the first perfumer to inverse classical proportions of ingredients in perfumes, having discovered that an overdose of a certain ingredient could propel it to the top of the perfume’s structure. She combined this revolutionary technique with classical perfume structures to create a truly unique aesthetic, one that was to forever shape the art of perfume making. She was also well-known for her endless fascination with rose, a flower she uses in most of her creations. At Frédéric Malle’s request, she applied herself for the first time to the art of scented candles.
