Yves Saint Laurent's Fragrance Collection is almost as revolutionary as YSL's haute couture designs, with fragrance classics such as Jazz, Opium, Yvresse, Paris and Rive Gauche.
Yves Saint Laurent was founded by designer Yves Saint Laurent and his partner, Pierre Berge, in 1962 and pioneered many iconic looks, including the beatnik look, safari jackets for men and women, tight pants and tall, thigh-high boots, including the creation of arguably the most famous classic tuxedo suit for women in 1966, Le Smoking suit. YSL soon became the haute couture brand to follow, with a long list of celebrity's clambering over his designs. Yves Saint Laurent achieved phenomenal success and arguably what no one else has ever done for this length of time; a brand that keeps expanding.
YSL's perfume and aftershave creations have followed with a similar dynamic success to their couture counterparts and have a distinct place in the history of fragrance.
