Y Le Parfum: The latest novelty from Yves Saint Laurent
Little by little, Givenchy succeeds in adopting a timeless style which has won many followers. It was in 1958 that the fashion house launched into perfumery with “L'Interdit”, a fragrance honoring Audrey Hepburn. In 1984, Givenchy unveiled “Ysatis”, a chypre-floral feminine fragrance, which has conquered perfumeries around the world.
The goddess of Givenchy
Half-woman and half-goddess, Ysatis represents universal beauty, and is the perfume of “a thousand and one women”. Its name was born from the meeting between Yseult and Isis, and its fragrance seems unreal. “Ysatis” is enigmatic, passionate. The personality of the "Ysatis" woman is made up of many facets and everyone sees the character that interests them. Thus, Ysatis is sometimes sensual, sometimes mischievous, sometimes reserved, sometimes charming or even impertinent… A mystery which gives Ysatis a very particular aura. Once is not custom, Givenchy here puts the woman in the spotlight as well as her beauty. The fashion house venerates all women and loves to sublimate them every day with dresses more beautiful than the others, without forgetting its perfumes.
Ysatis, the fragrance balance between flowers, woods and spices
It is Dominique Ropion, talented perfumer, who was in charge of finding the perfect balance between flowers, woods and spices. "Ysatis" opens with very lively and dynamic notes, those of mandarin from Brazil and galbanum from Asia Minor. The heart is essentially floral with the presence of jasmine, rose, tuberose, carnation and iris. The mysterious and sensual base is composed of patchouli from Indonesia, vetiver from Java, oak moss from Yugoslavia, musks, vanilla from Tahiti, sandalwood and castoreum from Canada which leaves an animal trail. Givenchy wanted to integrate ingredients from all over the world in order to represent a multitude of women. Under its many facets, "Ysatis" hides a rare and subtle scent. As for the heavy faceted glass bottle, it has a slender silhouette.
Half-woman, half-goddess, “Ysatis” has become one of the most famous perfumes of the Givenchy house. Oriental and floral, “Ysatis” reflects an oriental goddess of modern times. With its many facets, everyone can see in “Ysatis”, the woman they want. Thus, "Ysatis" wants to be in turn, sensual, tender, reserved, sassy ... With "Xeryus", he forms one of the most legendary couples in the world of perfumery.
