Among the many innovations for which Yves Saint Laurent is known, not least is the integration of classic men’s pieces into the women’s wardrobe, which he managed to make incredibly feminine and sexy.
So, in 1966, the first women’s tuxedo appeared. A year later, the couturier remembered his service in Algeria and replenished women’s fashion with a safari jacket with patch pockets. In honor of the 50th anniversary of the beginning of the migration of men’s clothes to the women’s catwalk Yves Saint Laurent, the Vestiaire des Parfums aroma collection was created. And how could it be otherwise, because Yves liked to repeat: “Even the most sophisticated outfit needs at least a drop of perfume. Only they will make it complete and perfect.” Each of the five fragrances celebrates one of the iconic garments. Spicy Tuxedo with notes of patchouli and coriander stands out like a black tuxedo among romantic dresses. The accord of tonka bean and vanilla in Caban is a tribute to the warming pea coat. Sunny Saharienne with the scent of neroli and musk is the dedication of a desert safari. A trench coat that saves from rain and wind is embodied in a refreshing perfume with chords of bergamot, iris and leather. And finally, the Moroccan men’s caftan is fragrant with incense, benzoin and pink pepper. You can, of course, limit yourself to one fragrance from the Vestiaire des Parfums line. But to collect a complete wardrobe is a special pleasure.
