In summer 2023, Yves Saint Laurent's Le Vestiaire des Parfums collection, which embodies the essence of couture style, will introduce Cuir, a woody leather fragrance.


Cuir, French for leather, is one of Yves Saint Laurent's most challenging design signatures. This new fragrance elevates this tough, rebellious symbol into timeless elegance without losing YSL's signature edge.



The World of Yves Saint Laurent and Fragrances


Le Vestiaire des Parfums is a luxurious fragrance collection that pays homage to the iconic wardrobe of the exceptionally talented designer Yves Saint Laurent. Much like his exceptional couture style, which elevates functional clothing into fashion icons, this collection of scents, crafted with an exquisite balance of contrasting ingredients, has captivated countless audiences.

Yves Saint Laurent launched his first fragrance into the world in 1964, embodying the worldview he created. The captivating power of his fragrances is to enhance the wearer's individuality and enhance their allure. They blend seamlessly with the skin, leaving a lasting mark and creating the ultimate olfactory wardrobe accessory.


Cuir: Timeless and Addictive


In 1960, Yves Saint Laurent boldly debuted the black leather jacket on the haute couture runway, creating a subversive collection that forever shook the fashion world. With this collection, the young genius transformed the leather jacket, a symbol of sexiness and rebellion, into a sophisticated and irresistible couture material.

From the 1960s to today, leather remains one of the most provocative signatures. A rock icon, leather transforms into timeless elegance the moment it touches the skin without losing its rebellious edge, capturing the tension between masculine toughness and feminine sensuality.


THE FRAGRANCE
Inspired by leather, the iconic material of couture, perfumer Fabrice Pellegrin created a soft, smoky woody leather fragrance by blending rare, leathery oud with violet leaf. Woody notes of sandalwood and patchouli enhance the mysterious character, while powdery vanilla warmly envelops the powerful leather.

Fragrance Type: Woody Leather
Perfumer: Fabrice Pellegrin
"Inspired by the bold way in which couturiers have incorporated street-style leather jackets into their haute couture designs, I selected Oud Assafii, a precious natural ingredient among the oud species. Made from resin extracted from century-old trees, this fragrance is unique among the leather accords expressed by oud, with a suede-like texture. At the same time, it has a rich, sensual expression, creating a beautiful leather fragrance. It is an exceptional ingredient that elevates the fragrance into a true luxury piece, just like the couturier's creations. Violet leaf, chosen to contrast with the oud, has an elegant, delicate, green scent with hints of masculine strength, yet also possesses the feminine softness of flowers. It adds a more velvety impression to the suede-like leather expressed by oud." />
