Saharienne by Yves Saint Laurent

its name is legendary. A tribute to the iconic laced safari jacket, a legendary piece of Yves Saint Laurent couture. A symbol of journeys to faraway lands, a one-way ticket to escape, reinterpreted by Stefano Pilati, Yves Saint Laurent Creative Director, from collection to collection. An ode to a sensuality that sublimates the body in a troubling game of hide-and-seek with the skin. The extraordinary celebration of a liberated, wild and provocative

 

 

THE EVASION

The hottest eau fraîche.

The promise of an unforgettable journey, of uninhibited adventures.
The evocation of a blazing sun, the star at its zenith reflected in the blinding sand.
The intoxicating air fans her impetuous nature and heightens every sensation.

Sprinkled with light, the bottle’s crystalline transparency reveals a fragrance as golden as hot sand.

At its centre, the legendary cassandre logo is a source of energy and radiance.
As if set amongst the dunes, the prestigious initials radiate with shimmering reflections.
Its curves, sculpted in glass, evoke the same imprint transformed by waves of heat and fiery rays.
The ultimate temptation, its hammered gold top is a true piece of couture jewellery, sensual and refined.

THE HEROÏNE

A mirage with intense powers of attraction.

White sun, incandescent dunes.
A woman at one with the elements.
A fusion that is passionate, a rapturous embrace.
Her skin shivers under the exquisite coolness of the air, her eyes blinded by the burning sun.
Incarnating a feline femininity of feverish desires, she radiates sensuality.

Yves Saint Laurent dedicates his first eau, flamboyantly fresh, to this sensual heroine.
A source of freedom, radiant and audacious, of which she has always dreamed to express her animal nature.

THE FRAGRANCE

Loyal to the fragrance vision of Yves Saint Laurent, Saharienne reinvents freshness in a completely new form. Provocative, it breaks with the codes and mixes extreme temperatures, from soaring radiance to airy incandescence.

Like an invitation bursting with freshness.

It opens with Primo Fiore lemon, Italian bergamot and mandarin zests, dazzling the overexposed, white petals with a thousand sparks of citrus, like a “Blanc de Blanc champagne”. The bitter sweetness of crushed orange leaves is enlivened by a burst of green notes, sparked by galbanum and blackberry buds. Sunnyfloral and salty accords are galvanised by the insolence of pink pepper berries and ginger.

Constant desire...

The absolute seduction of a very carnal memory. Grains of sand succeed salt crystals. When their dry heat causes the dense woods to vibrate, the composition ignites on contact with the balmy notes of scrubland and pine needles warmed by the sun. The sensation is voluptuous and enveloping, smooth and caressing.
