YSL Le Vestiaire des Parfums – Blouse Impertinent Rose 125ml

THE OLFACTION
To express the fluid movement and impertinent sensuality of Yves Saint Laurent’s iconic see-through blouses, perfumer Quentin Bisch selected the lush, luminous Damascena rose, one of the two species of flower showcased in fine fragrance.
“I chose to work on a rose because I wanted to capture its inherent sophistication and natural intensity, particularly at dusk. This approach allows me to create an elegant olfactory veil that subtly evokes the delicate texture of Yves Saint Laurent’s original blouse”.

Not just delicate but also assertive and vibrant, the precious rose breaks free from classic elegance to take on the very modern sheerness of chiffon.
Impertinent green, citrusy accents infuse the silky petals with vibrant, fresh energy.
“Just as the fabric drapes delicately and gracefully, herbal, musky angelica adds a layer of depth and intrigue to the fragrance, creating an experience that is both airy and profound”, the perfumer adds.
The gauzy, green floral blend is enhanced by yet another musky note: warm, sensuous Cashmeran.

THE INSPIRATION
1968: The year Yves Saint Laurent unveiled the See-Through Blouse and redefined the boundaries of fashion and femininity.
It was a garment that sparked a revolution, its diaphanous fabric a symbol of liberation, its audacity a challenge to convention.
The blouse became an instant icon, anchoring its place in fashion history as a tribute to Yves Saint Laurent’s unparalleled ability to fuse impertinent sensuality.

Despite its sheerness and provocative nature, the blouse is an emblem of the YSL style.
The masterful tailoring, the impeccable drape of the fabric, and the minimalist design perfectly embody the couture’s commitment to luxurious simplicity.

By daring to reveal the female form in a way that was both impertinent and elegant, the blouse challenged conventional notions of femininity.
It embodied the YSL spirit: strong, confident, and in control of her sexuality.
