Yves Saint Laurent Cinéma Scenario d'Ete is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2008. Cinéma Scenario d'Ete opens with Orange, Mandarin, and Lime, settles into a heart of White Amaryllis, Jasmine, and Ylang-Ylang, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, and Peach. Yves Saint Laurent's Cinéma Scenario d'Ete carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

This YSL flanker is a bit of a mixed bag; some find it a delightful, light summer scent, while others are left disappointed by its fleeting presence and lack of resemblance to the original Cinema. Expect a breezy, citrus-forward experience, but don't count on it sticking around for long.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Best For:

Its light sillage and fresh, clean accords make it perfectly suited for office wear and casual outings, providing a pleasant aura without overwhelming. However, the relatively poor longevity reported by some users means it's less ideal for longer events like formal occasions or dates where a lasting impression is desired.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk
  • Ylang-ylang Cananga Odorata Flower Extract from Ylang-Ylang

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Imagine a cool glass of citrus sunshine, bursting with zesty lime, sweet mandarin, and bright orange. This lively opening soon mellows into a delicate white floral heart, where jasmine and ylang-ylang add a soft, creamy touch. The drydown is a gentle caress of juicy peach, clean musk, and a subtle amber warmth, creating a light, airy finish that evokes a summer breeze.
