Yvresse

by Sophia Grojsman

Yves Saint Laurent Yvresse is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1993, created by Sophia Grojsman. The fragrance opens with Nectarine, Anise, Peach, and Caraway, settles into a heart of Rose, Lily Of The Valley, Iris, and Cinnamon, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Patchouli, Oakmoss, and Musk.

Our verdict on Yvresse: Acquired

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.
