Yves Saint Laurent Cinéma is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2004, created by Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud. Cinéma opens with Cyclamen, Clementine, and Almond Blossom, settles into a heart of White Amaryllis, Jasmine, and Peony, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Vanilla, and Benzoin. Yves Saint Laurent's Cinéma carries an Acquired verdict, a floral-led wear.

A modern classic that’s been tragically reformulated, YSL Cinéma is a warm, golden embrace of a fragrance. It’s sweet, floral, and undeniably glamorous, projecting an aura of effortless sophistication that's loved by many, even in its current iteration.

While some find it intimate, its generally good sillage and longevity - particularly in older formulations - make it less ideal for the office. The warm, inviting amber-vanilla profile with floral notes is perfect for dates and formal events, though many enjoy it casually too.

About

YSL Cinéma opens with a luminous burst of sweet clementine and delicate almond blossom, quickly softened by a powdery cyclamen. The heart unfolds into a rich floral bouquet of jasmine, peony, and white amaryllis, adding warmth and depth. As it dries, a luxurious blend of amber, benzoin, and vanilla emerges, grounded by a soft musk, creating a creamy and inviting finish that’s both elegant and comforting.
