Yves Saint Laurent 2011 EDP
La Collection Yvresse
by Jean-Pierre Mary , Sophia Grojsman
Yves Saint Laurent La Collection Yvresse is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2011, created by Jean-Pierre Mary and Sophia Grojsman. La Collection Yvresse opens with Nectarine and Litchi, settles into a heart of Rose and Violet, and dries down to a base of Patchouli. Yves Saint Laurent's La Collection Yvresse carries a Statement verdict, a floral-led wear.
This YSL reboot divides opinion sharply: some hail it as a triumphant return to form, capturing the effervescent spirit of its predecessor, while others feel it's a lacklustre reformulation. Don't expect the true vintage magic, but it’s still fizzy, fruity, and undeniably classy in its own right.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
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
Versatile across every season - no clear seasonal preference from wearers.
Best Occasions
Its moderate projection and sophisticated fruity-floral profile make it suitable for office wear, provided it's applied lightly. The sparkling, elegant nature lends itself beautifully to dates and formal events, while some find it versatile enough for a classy casual outing. However, its lush nature makes it entirely unsuitable for sporty activities.

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
