by Yves Saint Laurent
A uniquely evocative and deeply resinous fragrance that combines sweet, balsamic vanilla with a haunting, synthetic vinyl note. On skin, it unfolds with a spicy green warmth from pink pepper, myrrh, and immortelle, creating a dense, honeyed core that feels both inviting and mysterious. As it dries down, the vanilla deepens into a rich, warm, and creamy accord, softened by subtle anise and balsamic resins. The character is exquisite rather than sweet, with a dry, velvety finish that lingers on skin and fabrics. It’s a sophisticated, unisex composition that brings to mind old vinyl records, buried in drawers, with traces of worn-out synthetic materials and sweet, slightly boozy vanilla. The scent is moderate in projection and sillage, turning intimate yet infinitely intriguing, especially in cooler weather and nighttime settings. Its perfume-like aura is enhanced by a perception of quality, with an elegant, high-end refinement that many find unexpectedly wearable despite its unconventional base.
