Yves Saint Laurent Trench is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2015, created by Amandine Clerc-Marie. Trench opens with Bergamot, Fig, and Tangerine, settles into a heart of Neroli and Iris, and dries down to a base of Musk. Yves Saint Laurent's Trench carries a Favourite verdict, a citrus-led wear.

This classy iris-citrus concoction is a surprisingly divisive scent. Some find it a sophisticated, clean masterpiece with excellent longevity, while others are put off by a musty, sharp, or overtly floral quality that doesn't justify the price tag. Love it or hate it, you can't ignore its unique character.

About

Trench opens with a bright, zesty burst of tangerine and bergamot, softened by the rich, green sweetness of fig. This vibrant start quickly blends into a heart of powdery iris and fresh neroli, creating a clean yet creamy floral core. The dry down settles into a subtle musky base, maintaining a refined, airy elegance that lingers beautifully on the skin.
