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 an Acquired verdict, a fruity-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.

About

La Collection Yvresse opens with a vibrant burst of juicy nectarine and exotic litchi, immediately sparkling like a fine champagne. This gives way to a sophisticated heart where powdery violet and delicate rose intertwine, evoking the elegant scent of vintage cosmetics. The journey culminates in a warm, earthy patchouli base, providing depth and a chic, enduring finish to the lively fruit and florals.
