by Amandine Clerc-Marie , Marie Salamagne

Yves Saint Laurent Splendid Wood (Le Vestiaire des Parfums) is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017, created by Amandine Clerc-Marie and Marie Salamagne. Splendid Wood (Le Vestiaire des Parfums) opens with Cardamom and Incense, and settles into a heart of Rose and Jasmine. Yves Saint Laurent's Splendid Wood (Le Vestiaire des Parfums) carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

A truly gorgeous, refined woody-spicy oud that sadly, has been axed by YSL. If you can get your hands on it, you're in for a treat; this is a 'smells like a million dollars' kind of fragrance that wears well on anyone.

About

Splendid Wood opens with a warm, aromatic burst of cardamom and smoky incense, immediately setting a sophisticated tone. A rich, delicate rose note emerges in the heart, seamlessly woven with subtle jasmine, giving the composition an added layer of elegance. The base reveals a smooth, nuanced oud, underpinned by cedar and cypriol, creating a woody, slightly leathery dry-down that is both alluring and comforting.
