Yves Saint Laurent

Yves Saint Laurent was founded in Paris in 1961 by designer Yves Saint Laurent and his partner Pierre Bergé, and quickly became one of the most influential names in fashion — reshaping the way women dressed with pieces like the tuxedo suit and the trench coat. That same spirit of boldness and reinvention carried into fragrance, most famously with the 1977 launch of Opium, a rich, spiced oriental that transformed perfume marketing and remains one of the best-selling fragrances of all time.

Decades later, the house continued that legacy with Black Opium in 2014, a modern coffee-and-vanilla oriental gourmand that reimagined the original for a new generation and became a defining scent of its era in its own right. From these two icons to the wider YSL fragrance wardrobe, the house has built a reputation for bold, glamorous compositions with real staying power, always carrying a sense of French couture confidence.

Yves Saint Laurent is exactly the kind of iconic house our decants were made for. Explore the collection in genuine, decanted sample sizes and experience these legendary fragrances without committing to a full bottle.
