Yves Saint Laurent Le Vestiaire Des Parfums 37 Rue De Bellechasse EDP 125ml

Hidden behind the neo-classical façade of 37 Rue de Bellechasse—the former Abbey de Penthemont and now Saint Laurent’s Paris headquarters—lies an atmosphere that feels both hushed chapel and hedonistic atelier. Perfumers Cécile Matton and Julie Massé bottle that paradox in a magnetic, gender-fluid composition that drapes incense-stitched elemi resin over a dark silk lining of oud and benzoin

Olfactory portrait

• Opening: cracked black pepper, juniper berry and smoky nagarmotha spark like candlelight against stone

• Heart: iris absolute diffuses through whorls of church-like incense while a whisper of sacred oud deepens the shadows.

• Base: patchouli leaves, Siam benzoin and sensual white musk linger, echoing after the last hymn fades.

Why it belongs in your wardrobe

• Couture to skin: Inspired by YSL’s legendary atelier addresses, every spritz feels tailored—no two wearers smell identical.

• Day-to-after-dark versatility: The pepper-spiced iris keeps office hours refined; the resinous oud turns heads after dusk.

• Compliment magnet: Reviewers call it “luxurious yet never overpowering,” striking the sweet spot between intrigue and approachability.
