In Love Again

In Love Again by Yves Saint Laurent is a bright, effervescent fruity floral that captures the essence of youthful joy and sunlit freshness. It opens with a lively burst of grapefruit, black currant, and blueberry, underscored by a subtle, crisp citrus note that gives it a refreshing, almost sparkling quality. The heart reveals a delicate balance of rose and water lily, softened by aromatic green notes resembling crushed black currant leaves and tomato plant stems—creating an unexpectedly natural, vineyard-like sensation. As it settles, the scent evolves into a soft, velvety base of musk and sandalwood, combining gentle sweetness with a faintly earthy dryness, resulting in a fragrance that feels both intimately personal and effortlessly radiant. The perfume is best suited for spring and summer, particularly during daytime hours. It possesses moderate diffusion and an intimate to moderate sillage, making it ideal for casual wear or a romantic first meeting. Its longevity is typically moderate, lasting a full day on the skin—more so on clothing—and while it's not incredibly long-lasting in terms of raw tenacity, the scent lingers pleasantly in the air, leaving a trailing impression that feels cohesive and warm rather than aggressive. Invitations to wear it during the day reflect a universal appreciation for its lightness and aromatic harmony. While most users find the fragrance uplifting and singular among fruity florals, some note a lack of depth or structure, and the overall persistence may feel insufficient for those seeking an intense, long-lasting scent. The formula’s discontinuation means availability is strictly limited to vintage bottles, and some newer versions may lack the original profile’s clarity and complexity. However, for those willing to seek out the older versions, the scent offers a rare, memorable experience—one that feels like stepping into a sun-drenched garden in early summer.
