The Best Yves Saint Laurent Fragrances

Yves Saint Laurent revolutionised perfumery just as it revolutionised fashion: with a formal audacity that disregards conventions and a sense of calculated provocation that generates as many admirers as detractors. From the scandalous Opium of 1977 to the radical Kouros of 1981, the house has always loved fragrances that generate conversation, that assume a clear positioning and that don't seek neutrality. Today, Black Opium embodies this tradition in a contemporary register — coffee, black vanilla and white jasmine create an addictive and divisive accord. L'Homme meanwhile redefined fresh-woody masculine for an entire generation. In this selection we have gathered the YSL fragrances that best illustrate this philosophy of mastered excess and elegant provocation. Fragrances for those who don't want to go unnoticed.
