Le Vestiaire des Parfums - Coeur Fetish Amber

THE OLFACTION

• To express his love to his favorite muses, Yves Saint Laurent adorned them with his iconic heart-shaped piece of jewelry. A signature of the House since its opening at 30 bis rue Spontini in 1961, this symbol of devotion now finds its scent: COEUR takes on the sultry hue of passion. Both warm and metallic, vibrant and sensual, COEUR is an ambery floral spicy fragrance described by Master Perfumer Daniela Andrier as “incisive and radical.” It is the pure expression of contrasts between the warmth of the jewel’s red crystals and the coolness of its smoky gray rhinestones.
• To reflect this rich duality, the perfumer played on the tension between sparkling aldehydes and one of the most treasured notes in her palette: a carnal, sensual amber accord. Preciously sulfurous like a YSL accessory, COEUR is the symbol of the bold beating heart & unbreakable passion of the YSL woman. A quintessentially couture touch, when haute-parfumerie artistry revisits the emblematic amber: deep red like a magnetic ruby, luminous like a cut stone.
• The fragrance pulse with the sensual warmth of myrrh and labdanum contrasted by the incisive coolness of Aldehydes. Radiant yet profound, COEUR is hot like a sensual red ruby, cold like a mettalic jewel. This passionate amber heart is woven through with cistus absolute heart from Andalusia, an iconic natural material whose use dates back to Antiquity.
• In COEUR, the sustainably sourced resin is refined through molecular distillation, yielding an exclusive quality that reveals cool aromatic facets in the top notes and resinous, smoky tones in the drydown. This aura is bolstered by earthy Indonesian patchouli, and the creamy depth of Virginian cedarwood.
• Finally, precious orris butter embraces this amber heart with shades of raspberry, violet, and pepper. Sustainably sourced in South of France and distilled from the noble Iris pallida, this rare material is crafted through a exclusive process of extraction and cultivated for three years to achieve unparalleled purity & depth. Iris butter bring an airy lightness to butter bring an airy lightness to the fragrance, subtly floral, powdery and refined.

• How to use: Apply on pulse point: wrist, inner elbow and neck.
