Yvresse (Champagne)

Have Just Bought Myself An 80ml YSL La Collection Yvresse edt As I've Never Owned This Perfume & This Past Few Year's I've Had A Longing To Own It & Now I Do!! I Actually Remember This Perfume Being Launched In The 90s & All The Hype That Surrounded It,& The Beautiful 5ml Miniature Sample Bottle In The Small Shinny Golden Box!! My Goodness I Was In My Early Twenties Then & I Honestly Wasn't Very Keen On Champagne As It Was Called Then Nor Did I Really Understand Fragrance As I Do Now!! & Stupidly I Passed My Sample Onto My Mother Who Also Wasn't That Keen On It & Passed It Onto My Grandmother Who Absolutely Adored It,& Who Went On To Buy A Few Bottles Of It!! Now I'm In My Late Forties I Was Eager To Try It,& 0 My Goodness I Not Only Absolutely Love It,It Smells Absolutely Outstanding On Me!! So Classy So Expensive & Deffo A Perfume That I Know Will Always Wear & Own!! You Could Say That I've Now Grown Into YSL Yvresse & I'm The Right Age To Enjoy It!! I Agree 100% That This Perfume Does Indeed Remind Me Very Much Of My All Time Favourite Guerlain Mitsouko Which I Love & Wear Although Yvresse Is Deffo NOT As Animalistic & Dark As Mitsouko!! This Fragrance Is Also More Sparkling Just Like A Glass Of Really Expensive Champagne Where The Bubbles Actually Tickle Your Nose!! It Really Does Start Of Very Peachy At First Which Last's All Of About 10mins & Then The Most Beautiful Nectarine & Anise Followed By Mint/Menthol,Otto Rose & Blue Rose,Litchi,Gorgeous Oak Moss,Earthy Patchouli & Vetiver Giving This Fragrance It's Sharp Floral-fruity Aroma Like No Other!! The Longtitivity Of This edt Is Absolutely Outstanding At 23+ Hour's Still Smelling It The Next Morning In A weak edt Way!! My Husband Already Absolutely Loves Yvresse On Me,& Has Asked Me To Please Wear It Around Him More Often!! Guerlain's Champs Elysee Also Has This Effect On Him As Well So Must Wear These Pair With Caution!! lol'lol'lol'lol "Man Magnet's"!!

I am affluent ( since you need to be if you have the yvresse addiction! ), sophisticated, immaculately-mannered and with a library in my head. This is how Yvresse speaks to me and commands to behave accordingly! This is THE upperclass lady scent, and it smells absolutely ridiculous on those who can't at least play the role! Cold season/evening substance, rather grownup ( would think twice before if I were in my 20s! ) and very content with life and itself: full-bodied, plum, sparkling currant or rose wine. It is everyday glamour of intelligence. Dimmed lights in an old library occupying a grand historic building, suede emerald ( I detect a little chypre in there ) and wine-coloured fabrics, curtains with tassels, old books sitting in neighbourhood of a cognac-filled glass and creme de la creme moving around slowly while discussing the burning political and social issues. When I wear it it makes me work for it, listen, read, learn, keep my back straight and never dine without a napkin and proper dinnerware. A very old beauty of a rapidly vanishing lifestyle: so grateful it has been at least preserved in a bottle! Apropos, the flakon of the ETD/ EDP is everything the scent is not ( the pure perfume bottle looks more sophisticated because of the golden "wiring" effect at the sides ): as far as you can get away from sophistication, a child's toy shape and hardly memorable, would not be bringing any grace to one's vanity table. The only thing that holds me back from keeping it inside a wall cabinet is the contents: I would never want it to be too far away from my reach. I sniff it at least one a day ( from the bottle cap) even when I am wearing other perfumes. It reminds me what I can be and what kind of woman I aspired to become when I was a little girl.

I disagree with the review below mine. I've had Toy Boy 2 the pink bear and while that is a nice fragrance and fun it is bubble gum with soft hum of fruits and florals in the background. I gave my blind buy bottle to some children (with their mom's permission) It is nothing like YSL Yvresse except for maybe the fruitiness. What I find so captivating about this fragrance is how different and original it smells compared to the fruity perfumes of "today". It has more life. A pop, a fizziness. The mint, caraway, and anise blended with the peach, apricot must create that quality. I do agree wholeheartedly with @Sweedishmilk15 This fragrance has a very effervescent quality to it. It smells like a celebration in a bottle. Very lively and fun. There is a complexity here that many of today's perfumes lack. That's why I'm been on a vintage hunt as of late. Many of today's perfumes bore me to tears. This is a great classic. But for me it really does smell timeless. It doesn't smell dated at all if that is something you worry about. If you like fruity perfumes but would like something with more sophistication give YSL Yvresse a try. This is something you can wear everyday into evening anytime anywhere. Very versatile. Edit; I didn't know there was there was a clear Toy I thought the pink one was toy 2 but it is toy 2 bubble gum. My bad. I have smelled Toy Boy original the black bear and I thought it was very masculine and gave my mini to my husband to wear. He liked it but not enough to want a FB. I wore my small decant yesterday 1/6/26. Soki London Nectarine fragrance should take a note from this classic fruity, spicy, floral. This is the best nectarine fragrance I have ever smelled.

Va Va Voom! Yvresse is a Voluptuous 50's Pinup Model obviously a Bottled Blonde faux Tan Jayne Mansfield, Mamie van Doren, Marilyn Monroe, In a Red skintight Sequinned Mermaid cut sleeveless Gown with her hips slowly gliding to a gentile Rumba of an Old Nat King Song Quizas Quizas Quizas, On an Old Record player, The note of Peach is the Champagne she sips from that matches the Liquid luster of gold Bed sheets in a Luxurious Red & Gold Penthouse overlooking 5th Avenue On New Years Eve, As Yvresse dries to the middle the Innocent note of peach Fades and the notes of Lychee and Smoky Caraway turnes Yvresse from a Girlish ingenue to a Temptress, hungry and Full Bodied semi-sweet semi-tart lychee adds a bit of a Uninhabited Territory before the pluck of the First Fruit of Eden Brings Primal touches To Yvresse, Cardamon with juxitation of Cinnamon Dries the lychee. as we Enter the final phase of Yvresse The First spice that comes steeping into the senses Caraway Dry dominates the first minute then Cinnamon sweeter Supports the Caraway The Underpinning of Patchouli gives the base an Semi sweet earthiness Amber & Musk Enrich the scent with it's sweet Texture And Fiery Sandalwood Finishes Yvresse. This Perfume is not for the Shy or a woman not to make wave Yvresse is the Opposite She Not Only Demands it She Screams IT! She's Larger then Life, Diva in a Bottle Nothing is Subtle about her but if you want to stand out She's a Perfect Friend.

I still have a mini bottle of this, half full, edp with the original formulations of Y and Rive Gauche (which I also have in full edp vap). These came in a box of 5 edp s by YSL and date aprox. From 1995 onwards. I turned 21 last week and this is a scent that I think I'll never be able to remove from my head. It's warm, so sweet and delicious, it's so inviting, like flamed peaches that almost turned into jam placed above some milky conoction and as you eat this dessert you clear your palate with the softest champagne.sadly this never developed into the chypre notes, perhaps because my bottle is really old. I was recently reunited with Champagne (i didn't know it had changed it's name until last week) because my aunt gave me Lancome's Tresor In Love as a gift, and as I wore it I noticed the peaches bore some resemblance as a fragrance that I learned to interpret as the sultriest when I was barely 5 years old and browsing through my mom's perfume collection. I'm not saying they're alike because they are completely different olfactory experiences, but the peaches brought me back to this frag. Needless to say, I never wore it at that age, neither will I do now, just to test it on my skin It's like my little secret, I've been doing it since I was a child until I turned 15 and got my own perfumes to play with. My mother barely ever used this since she's into the more aldehydic kind of frag. This is my eternal peachy embrace.
