YSL's Top Floral Scents

From his early career stint at Christian Dior to the fashion empire that it is today, the Yves Saint Laurent label is elegance and beauty personified. Through the years, YSL carved its niche in the haute couture industry by creating avant-garde designs for his ready to wear collection. His work bespeaks freshness, excitement and individuality. His passion for innovation and excellence transcends in his creations and the other products that bear his name. That same passion is seen in the fragrances that were meticulously concocted by acclaimed perfumers to complement the uniqueness that is YSL.

The fragrance line is diverse. It’s a collection of different styles, era, moods and trends. Each scent captures a special moment that is worth remembering. It could be the first kiss, the first date or the first taste of freedom. Regardless of the firsts, seconds, thirds, ad infinitum, YSL perfumes are something that are way above the rest. The innovation in the perfume itself coupled with a powerful ad campaign; even controversial at times is enough to entice an individual to grab a bottle and apply a few spritzes on his skin to experience YSL.

Let’s have a glimpse of some of the popular YSL perfumes for women.

Elle

Elle perfume is marketed towards the younger public. The lychee, peony, vetiver and patchouli make it more of a trendy scent. The generous dose of cedar wood plus other earthy supporting notes gives it its earthy-musk appeal. This bold and lively fragrance is a sweet and fruity base laid over a dry, spicy wood. Elle is a well-blended scent, balanced and no surprises.

Baby Doll

Baby Doll is a fun perfume and yet another young scent from the YSL fragrance house. It’s fresh, floral-fruity with a free-spirited gourmand charm. It has that slightly tart sweetness, refreshing and not cloyingly sweet. While it’s targeted to young women, the fragrance is not at all girly. It has that playful charm but it still is a respectable scent. Baby Doll is not an age-limiting perfume. It’s more than the young scent it advocates.

Paris

Paris is YSL’s tribute to the city of Paris. Paris is where Saint Laurent started his career in fashion design. It is also a place where romance, elegance and charm fill the air. Such qualities are descriptive of Paris perfume. The blend of roses and violets remind you of a garden of flowers in warm spring. It’s utterly feminine and graceful – a perfume in a class of its own.

Young Sexy Lovely

Young Sexy Lovely is a light floral-fruity scent that is more apt for teens. It’s gentle, delicate and quiet. This fragrance is likened to other floral-fruity scents. It has that familiar aroma, relaxing and pleasant but it’s not something that is groundbreaking. On the overall, YSL is a nice everyday spring/summer perfume.

These YSL fragrances are luxuriously heavy on the floral-fruity side. In fact, the recent formulations explore the more trendy accords. Some love it, others despise it especially those who are hooked on the original fragrance. YSL now is a mix of the classic and the contemporary. Fragrance evolves and so does YSL.
