CUIR EAU DE PARFUM OUD & VIOLET

THE OLFACTION
The precious couture material expresses its innate power through an ingredient more precious than gold: sublime oud. Deep, dark and intense as the blackest leather. The epitome of refinement and animal magnetism. To fully express the rebellious elegance of YSL leather, Master Perfumer Fabrice Pellegrin has selected “a true gem”. Extracted from 80-year-old trees using traditional methods, this priceless oud has leathery, animalic, elegant, woody and ambery facets. “Because I was born in Grasse, I have a special relationship with natural ingredients”, he explains, “and I am always seeking out new olfactory profiles. When I first discovered it years ago, oud was a true revelation. For me, it is the woody note of tomorrow.”

With CUIR, he has given the classic ingredient a strikingly edgy twist, matching it with a wholly unexpected partner: violet leaf. “The texture and patina of oud are lightened and enhanced by the violet leaf note, whose natural green sensation is tinged with floral softness”, Fabrice Pellegrin explains.

THE INSPIRATION
In 1960, Yves Saint Laurent, playing by his own rules, was the first to send a black leather jacket on a couture runway, in a disruptive collection that rocked the fashion world forever. With it, Yves Saint Laurent turned the sexy rebellious emblem into a refined, highly desirable couture material. From the Swinging Sixties to the 21st century, leather has remained one of Yves Saint Laurent’s most provocative signatures. Morphing from rock icon to timeless elegance without losing any of its rebellious edge.

Leather embodies the captivating duality of the YSL style. Tough yet tender, rebellious yet elegant, resulting in a look of powerful grace. From innovative cutting techniques to unexpected color palettes, YSL sublimes this classic material, ensuring its relevance in the ever-evolving world of fashion.

Leather is more than just a material for YSL; it is the incarnation of the brand's spirit: innovation and empowerment. It's the perfect medium for expressing the sublime, elegant, and rebellious attitude that defines Yves Saint Laurent.
