LE VESTIAIRE DES PARFUMS - GRAIN DE POUDRE

A COUTURE ICON

In the mid-1960s, Monsieur Saint Laurent borrowed the finely grained fabric ‘grain de poudre’ used typically for men’s suits, giving it an unexpected femininity. The garments he made with it became weapons of seduction: subtle yet electric. To translate the unique ‘grain de poudre’ texture into a fragrance, YSL Beauté chose the most delicate of flowers: the violet. Familiar and reassuring, it evokes a graceful elegance that stands the test of time. The powdery sweetness of violet is paired with the unexpected freshness of sage, unveiling a crisp energy, balanced with notes of coriander and black pepper giving a spicy bite to this unisex scent.
