Yves Saint Laurent 2016 EDP
Velours
Yves Saint Laurent Velours is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Carlos Benaïm. Velours opens with Pepper, Pink Pepper, and Tea, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Orris, and Frankincense, and dries down to a base of Musk, Vanilla, and Amberwood. Yves Saint Laurent's Velours carries an Acquired verdict, a fresh spicy-led wear.
A legendary, velvety amber-iris fragrance, so beloved its discontinuation has triggered a fervent quest among collectors. It's a smooth operator, divisive only on whether its 'play-doh' note is part of its charm or a deal-breaker, though most agree it's a masterpiece.
