Inspired by YSL’s most iconic couture pieces, the updated Le Vestiaire des Parfums collection blends haute couture heritage with modern perfumery craftsmanship—now reimagined in refined flacons for collectors and connoisseurs
The revolutionary spirit of Yves Saint Laurent is more than a memory—it’s a living legacy. In the YSL universe, a silhouette is never just fabric and cut. It’s a bold use of colour, a liberation of the female form, and an unapologetic embrace of avant-garde style. Today, YSL Beauté translates this visionary heritage into an exclusive Haute Parfumerie collection, Le Vestiaire des Parfums, a unique wardrobe that embodies the couturier’s style and spirit.
Since its inception, Le Vestiaire des Parfums has drawn directly from the maison’s most recognisable couture creations, each fragrance a tribute to an archival piece. Across florals, woods, orientals, leathers and beyond, the collection offers a spectrum of personalities—from audacious and bold to quietly magnetic.

A Legacy Woven into Scent
Le Vestiaire des Parfums offers a captivating dialogue between fragrance and couture, with each scent becoming an olfactory echo of Monsieur Saint Laurent’s iconic creations. There are 16 distinct perfumes that make up the entire fragrance wardrobe—13 from La Collection Essentielle and three perfumes in the Edition Couture line, inspired by the maison’s iconic addresses. Leading the collection is the new icon, Muse, a captivating fragrance that is the ultimate expression of Monsieur Saint Laurent’s ideal. It’s a tribute to the muses for whom he created, capturing their essence with an evocative blend of enigmatic woody ink notes, soft, powdery iris, and sensual Bourbon vanilla.
The collection extends with scents inspired by the House’s most emblematic garments and accessories. The iconic Tuxedo, which revolutionised womenswear in 1966, is reimagined as a modern chypre with sleek notes of Indonesian patchouli, black pepper, and coriander. The scandalous yet elegant Blouse, a symbol of rebellious femininity, is captured with luminous Damascena rose twisted with animalic angelica and musky Cashmeran. For a touch of bohemian chic, the wide-brimmed hat, or Capeline, is reimagined as an alluring lily scent with a warm vanilla absolute.
Even the finest materials find new life in the collection. Velours, inspired by the brand’s use of velvet, is a flamboyant scent built around a custom-made Rose Essential N°3 and sensual patchouli. Cuir evokes the provocative blend of strength and sensuality from YSL’s pioneering use of leather, using sublime oud and the softness of violet leaf.

A Full Sensory Ritual
Le Vestiaire des Parfums is more than a fragrance collection; it is a complete sensory experience. The olfactory ritual extends with a new range of Hand & Body Washes that gently cleanse the skin while leaving a subtle scent, preparing the skin to absorb the next layers of fragrance. For the home, a curated selection of scented candles pays tribute to YSL’s most iconic destinations, from 70 Paris to 66 Marrakech and 83 New York.
The flacon itself is a work of art, designed by the award-winning designer Suzanne Dalton. Its sharply cut-glass silhouette and architectural lines echo YSL’s iconic designs, while the black cap, crowned with the elegant YSL Cassandre logo, features a sensual texture that recalls the grain de poudre fabric of the tuxedo. It is a harmonious blend of couture style and spirit, creating an object of desire as timeless and iconic as the fragrances it holds.
Like the perfect jacket, the right fragrance has the power to change how you carry yourself. With the newly renovated Le Vestiaire des Parfums, YSL Beauté invites you to explore an olfactory wardrobe shaped by couture heritage and crafted for modern life—an invitation to wear your scent as your signature.
