Yves Saint Laurent Cinéma is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2006, created by Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud. Cinéma opens with Cyclamen, Clementine, and Mimosa, settles into a heart of White Amaryllis, Jasmine, and Peony, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Vanilla. Yves Saint Laurent's Cinéma carries a Favourite verdict, a white floral-led wear.

This isn't your average EDT, it's a surprising powerhouse that outshines its EDP sibling for many. A radiant, golden floral vanilla that's been tragically discontinued, making it a highly sought-after gem for those who crave elegance without the overwhelming syrupiness.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:
Spring Fall Winter

Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Office Casual

While quite strong for an EDT, its elegant and non-syrupy nature makes it suitable for office wear if applied lightly. Its impressive longevity and sillage, combined with its luxurious feel, render it perfect for dates and formal events. It's a bit too refined for casual daytime wear.

About

A sparkling opening of clementine and mimosa ushers in a heart of lush jasmine, peony, and creamy white amaryllis. This floral bouquet is cradled by a warm, opulent base of amber and musky vanilla, creating a luminous, sophisticated scent bubble that's less syrupy and more airy than its EDP counterpart.
