TRAVEL TO
In 1970, Yves Saint Laurent and his partner Pierre Bergé took residence at 55 rue de Babylone. An opulent duplex on the Left Bank of Paris that was more than a home; it was his own personal gallery. Within its walls, masterpieces by Goya and Géricault engaged in a silent dialogue with the vibrant strokes of a Matisse print and a Warhol. Renaissance bronzes, Roman marbles, and precious pieces of Asian antiquities completed the tableau – a secret, living museum, its eclectic décor a true reflection of the couturier’s multifaceted spirit, curated with the same discerning eye as his iconic collections.
THE OLFACTION
It was within this private haven, where grandeur met hushed intimacy, that Yves Saint Laurent found solace and creative renewal. The very air infused with a sense of timeless elegance, a reverence for the past, and a passion for artistic expression – qualities often associated with the ancient ritual of burning incense. To evoke this atmosphere, a singular scent emerged, inspired by this very ritual. 70 PARIS recreates this mystical aroma, its woody, resinous heart a fragrant testament to the timeless beauty Saint Laurent so carefully cultivated within his Parisian sanctuary. Incense, traditionally associated with solemnity and introspection, speaks of spiritual exploration and a timelessness that resonated deeply with his artistic sensibilities. 70 PARIS is the olfactive embodiment of the legendary apartment’s fabled décor and aesthetic contrasts, an opulent fusion of art and intimacy.
Like the unexpected juxtapositions of Mr. Saint Laurent’s décor, this fragrance, too, embraces the art of contrast. The incense takes on an unexpected vibrancy with the addition of fresh citrus accents. A hint of black pepper adds a layer of intrigue, while cedarwood and patchouli linger in the air, like a subtle echo of the polished woods that graced his Parisian haven.
