6 Place Saint Sulpice Labdanum

THE OLFACTION To conjure the refined atmosphere of 6 Place Saint Sulpice Labdanum, the Master Perfumer Carlos Benaïm has chosen warm ambery labdanum. The warm, golden resin of the Mediterranean rock rose, echoing the hue of the signature YSL Cassandre gracing the boutique's exterior, exudes a smooth, woody aroma with hints of honey and a delicate touch of leather. Highlighting the lush balsamic material, a bright aromatic accord showcasing lavender gives the scent the streamlined cut of Yves Saint Laurent’s designs. A cocktail of spices, driven by the earthy, leathery tones of precious saffron, textures the sophisticated blend. THE INSPIRATION In 1979, the women who were addicted to Yves Saint Laurent flocked to his historic boutique at 6 Place Saint Sulpice Labdanum. All the charm and character of the iconic address are distilled in the sillage of its fragrance, a dialogue between, the richness of smooth leather and the animal sensuality of labdanum. Between an avant-garde sensibility and a yearning for eternity, 6 Place Saint Sulpice Labdanum embodies the house’s unceasing creativity.
