Yves Saint Laurent Yvresse is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1993, created by Sophia Grojsman. Yvresse opens with Caraway, Nectarine, Anise, and Peach, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Iris, and Violet, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Cedar, and Vetiver. Yves Saint Laurent's Yvresse carries an Acquired verdict, a fruity-led wear.

A divisive powerhouse from the 90s, Yvresse is not for the faint of heart. It's a bold, celebratory scent many adore, but others find dated. Approach with caution, but expect sparkling, fruity richness if it clicks.

About

Yvresse bursts open with a bright, effervescent cocktail of peach, apricot, and nectarine, given an unexpected lift by a whisper of mint and anise. This fruity sparkle settles into a warm heart of cinnamon-spiced rose and litchi, before a luxurious, powdery drydown. The base features amber, vanilla, and oakmoss, creating a deep, complex warmth that lingers for ages.
