Yves Saint Laurent Capeline is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2020, created by Juliette Karagueuzoglou. Capeline opens with Bergamot and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Sea Water, Neroli, Ylang-Ylang, and Lily, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vetiver, and Vanilla. Yves Saint Laurent's Capeline carries a Favourite verdict, a sweet-led wear.

This is a seriously divisive white floral from YSL. It's either an elegant, creamy lily and vanilla dream, evoking Euro summer sophistication, or a 'scrubber' that smells of stale saltwater, rotting seaweed, or even cat pee. You absolutely must sample it on your skin before you buy.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Spring Summer

A warm-weather pick - at its best in spring and summer.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Office Date Casual
Also Works:
Formal

Its moderate sillage and longevity make it suitable for the office without being overpowering, but its inherent elegance elevates it for dates and casual outings where a sophisticated floral is appreciated. It might be too casual for very formal settings given its "beach vibe" but some might find it suitable for daytime events.

About

Capeline opens with a brief burst of bright mandarin and bergamot, quickly giving way to a prominent, creamy white floral heart dominated by lily and lush ylang-ylang. A distinctive marine note adds a fresh, salty edge, keeping the sweetness in check, before settling into a soft, musky vanilla base that lingers like warm skin.
