Jasmin, when Molinard celebrates the flower of Grasse ...
Very quickly he is noticed, because he provokes and upsets the already established codes of fashion. He supports the freedom of women, the liberation of hearts, poses naked for one of these perfumes… The couturier is not afraid of anything and imposes his vision of the world. Its revolutionary collections are worn all over the world. In 1988, YSL unveiled “Jazz”, a very particular olfactory current.
Jazz, the olfactory score of the YSL house
Jazz is a musical movement born in the United States at the beginning of the 20th century. Jazz carries with it the weight of history, but also brings together all the different American cultures. Through the perfume "Jazz", YSL wanted to recreate these multiple cultures olfactory and the contrast that this entails. The "Jazz" man appears to be virile, but sensitive, not hesitating, for the occasion, to show his weaknesses. "Jazz" turns out to be all the complex facets of men. This only increases the richness and strength of the "Jazz" fragrance, helping to accentuate its charm. “Jazz” embodies the fragrance of a whole generation that wants to be free. All together, on a black and white rhythm, the men find the tempo and gather around "Jazz".
The woody and aromatic notes of the Jazz perfume
It is the perfumer Jean-François Latty who created this unique fragrance. This woody-aromatic evolves over the composition like a piece of jazz. The "Jazz" sensitivity gradually evolves towards unparalleled strength and intensity. "Jazz" begins with the freshness of bergamot combined with that of aromatic notes such as basil and lavender. Star anise also brings an exotic touch. The heart of "Jazz" evolves towards a more floral accord, but nevertheless more masculine. Geranium and carnation are associated with clary sage as well as a touch of cinnamon spice. The atmosphere is more fiery here and the base reveals a warm, sensual, even carnal wake, because it combines amber, tonka bean, sandalwood as well as leathery notes. The bottle is that of all the fragrances that are part of the "Collection of Classic Perfumes". The bottle has the shape of a clean glass cube. It is also surrounded by a black label, Yves Saint Laurent's favorite color, on which the name of the perfume is displayed. The black bottle contrasts with the transparency of the glass. Elegant, the bottle of "Jazz" reveals only the essential.
With "Jazz", the YSL house sets the pace. A gathering fragrance, “Jazz” is also that of freedom, a theme dear to the heart of the creator. Its composition is bold, elegant and sensual. “Jazz” is part of the YSL Classic Perfumes Collection.
