The Concept
Inspired by the emblematic creations of Monsieur Saint Laurent, Le Vestiaire Des Parfums is a collection of fragrances that each interprets a centrepiece of the couturier’s wardrobe. This exclusive collection of signature scents with couture sensibility truly encapsulates the Yves Saint Laurent style and spirit.
Le Vestiaire Des Parfums – Grain de Poudre
In the mid 1960s, Yves Saint Laurent borrowed grain de poudre - a finely grained fabric from men’s suits - to design sophisticated, couture dresses. A subtle alchemy of seduction and electricity.
To translate the unique grain de poudre texture into a fragrance, YSL Beauty chose the most delicate of flowers: the violet. Its powdery sweetness, familiar and reassuring, evokes a graceful elegance that stands the test of time. But the perfect cut of Grain de Poudre soon releases the unexpected, cool freshness of sage, its virile energy adding exciting bite to the violet. The spiced charms of coriander and black pepper add a new depth to this olfactory dialogue and its contrasts, resulting in an oriental, spicy leather fragrance.
Top notes: Bergamot Essence, Black Peppercorn, Coriander Seeds Essence
Heart notes: Clary Sage Essence, Violet Leaves Absolute, Osmanthus Absolute
Base notes: Suede Accord, Musk, Labdanum Resinoid
Flammable until dry. Keep away from flames and heat. Avoid spraying in eyes.

The scent of Grain de Poudre translates this bold alchemy by draping the familiar, powdery fragrance of violet in the coolness of sage.
GRAIN DE POUDRE
In the mid 1960s, Yves Saint Laurent borrowed this finely grained fabric from men’s suits and made it the symbol of a more feminine look. A subtle weapon of seduction that is similarly electric.
IN 1966, YVES SAINT LAURENT INVENTED HIS VERSION OF TUXEDO BY TURNING IT INTO A WOMEN’S EVENINGWEAR.
