Yves Saint Laurent Vinyle is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2016, created by Juliette Karagueuzoglou. Vinyle opens with Bergamot and Pink Pepper, settles into a heart of Immortelle and Myrrh, and dries down to a base of Anise, Resin, and Vanilla. Yves Saint Laurent's Vinyle carries an Acquired verdict, an amber-led wear.

This is a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent, divisive for its unique "vinyl" accord mixed with rich vanilla and spice. Many adore its sensual complexity, while others find the synthetic edge off-putting. Clearly missed since its discontinuation.

About

Vinyle opens with a fleeting spark of pink pepper and bergamot, quickly giving way to the star of the show: a creamy, almost edible vanilla. This isn't your average sweet gourmand though. Myrrh and resins lend a dark, balsamic depth, softened by the unusual, slightly honeyed aroma of immortelle. The anise provides a subtle, liquorice-like twist, contributing to the perfume's distinctive, slightly synthetic 'vinyl' impression.
