Blouse

Blouse by Yves Saint Laurent is a bright, fresh rose fragrance with a subtle green and musky backbone. It opens with crisp bergamot, angelica, and a hint of pink pepper, lending a subtle spicy, herbal lift that enhances the floral core. The heart reveals a realistic, slightly bitter green rose, more herbaceous than sweet, with a soft but persistent musk and cashmeran adding warmth and depth. The drydown remains refined and elegant—layered, softly sweet, and minimalist, avoiding any cloying sweetness or overwhelming indulgence. It’s a sophisticated, daytime fragrance that feels like a crisp linen blouse brushed with a touch of rose petals. Performance is most reliable during spring and summer, with moderate longevity and moderate projection, making it ideal for warm weather and everyday wear. Despite being compared to Delina, Florabotanica, and Roses de Chloe, Blouse stands out as the more mature and balanced option—less fruity than Delina, less green-watery than Chloe, and more polished than the latter. It’s not revolutionary, but it’s expertly crafted and wears with quiet confidence.
