Yves Saint Laurent In Love Again is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1998, created by Jean-Claude Ellena. In Love Again opens with Vodka, Blueberry, Grapefruit, and Apple, settles into a heart of Water Lily and Rose, and dries down to a base of Tomato, Musk, Sandalwood, and Blackberry. Yves Saint Laurent's In Love Again carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

This YSL classic is pure bottled sunshine, a fruity floral marvel that makes people happy despite its frustratingly elusive nature. Often compared to Baby Doll, it's a superior, joyous scent with a passionately loyal fanbase that will move mountains to get another bottle.

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.

Its fresh, fruity, and energetic profile makes it ideal for casual wear, office settings (if not over-sprayed), and active pursuits. While some vintage versions had better projection, current consensus points to moderate longevity, allowing for versatility across day-time occasions without being too intrusive.

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.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Geraniol from Rose

Other declarable allergens

  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

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 biting into a tart grapefruit and juicy blackcurrant, with a boozy shot of vodka cutting through. That initial zest then melts into a delicate rose and watery lily heart, grounded by an unusual tomato leaf accord and a clean musk with creamy sandalwood. It's vivacious without being overwhelming, a truly refreshing wear.
