Inspired by the emblematic creations of Monsieur Saint Laurent Le Vestiaire Des Parfums is a collection of unisex fragrances that each interprets a centrepiece of the couturier’s wardrobe. Tuxedo Caban Saharienne Blouse Caftan Trench and now the new addition Grain De Poudre: a signature scent with couture sensibility.

In the mid-1960s Yves Saint Laurent borrowed the finely grained fabric grain de poudre from men’s suits giving it an unexpected femininity. A weapon of seduction: subtle yet electric.

To translate the unique grain de poudre texture into a fragrance, YSL Beaut chose the most delicate of flowers: the violet. Familiar and reassuring, it evokes a graceful elegance that stands the test of time. The powdery sweetness of violet is paired with the unexpected freshness of sage, unveiling a crisp energy, balanced with notes of coriander and black pepper giving a spicy bite to the scent.

Top notes: black peppercorn coriander seeds essence bergamot essence
Middle notes: clary sage essence violet leaves absolute osmanthus absolute
Base notes: musk suede accord benzoin resinoid
