Yves Saint Laurent La Collection In Love Again is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011, created by Jean-Claude Ellena and Mark Buxton. La Collection In Love Again opens with Mandarin and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Wine Grape, Rose, and Peony, and dries down to a base of Musk and Blackberry. Yves Saint Laurent's La Collection In Love Again carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

A truly lovely scent. It's a gorgeous fruity floral that smells expensive and natural, but be warned - it'll be gone faster than you can say 'reapplication'. The longevity is its Achilles' heel, making it a pricey habit.

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.

When To Wear

Best Seasons

Best For:

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

Best Occasions

Best For:

Also Works:
Date

Its fresh, light, and inoffensive nature makes it superb for office and casual wear, especially in warmer weather. However, its poor longevity and delicate projection mean it struggles for formal events or a lasting impression on dates.

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

  • 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

Opens with a sweet yet tart explosion of blackcurrant and mandarin, evoking juicy, almost wine-like grapes. As it settles, subtle rose and peony florals emerge, creating a fresh, garden-like aura. The drydown hints at soft blackberry and a clean, gentle musk, leaving an elegant, delicate trail that's unfortunately fleeting.
