Yves Saint Laurent
YSL MYSLF EDP
“Understated luxury without the peacocking — for the person who doesn't need to announce themselves.”
Built on a deliberately spare progression — Calabrian bergamot at the top, Tunisian orange blossom at the heart, ambrofix and patchouli at the base — Christophe Raynaud's 2023 launch for Yves Saint Laurent ran in the opposite direction from the pyramid-heavy designer releases of the era. The minimalist composition reads as one continuous fresh-clean masculine rather than a top/mid/base arc.
