YVES SAINT LAURENT Le Vestiaire des Parfums Lavaliere

The ‘lavalliere’, the French word for ‘bow’, was an accessory that frequented many Yves Saint Laurent catwalks. Taking its name from the Duchess of La Valliere, but originally inspired by a typically masculine accessory, the bow is by its very nature gender-fluid. In Lavalliere Eau de Parfum, the silky texture of the bow is evoked in the creamy, delicate notes of fig. The floral green scent is completed by juicy blackcurrant and romantic, radiant rose, encapsulating elements that are both masculine and feminine to make for a beguiling unisex fragrance.

THE SCENT

• Top notes: blackcurrant, fig accord, bergamot
• Heart notes: geranium essence, rose, jasmine absolute
• Base notes: vetiver essence, cashmeran, musk

• How to use: For light intensity: spray in a cloud around your head and shoulders, let the fragrance fall gently around you. For medium intensity: spray in a y-shape across your body, beginning at one shoulder and finishing at the other. If you are wearing jewellery it is a great alternative to spraying your neck. For added intensity: apply perfume directly to your pulse points and / or hot spots (wrist, inner elbow and lower neck). Here the heat of your body will allow the fragrance to reveal its full trail. Include shoulders and back to intensify your perfume trail
