The collection Le Vestiaire des Parfums by French brand Yves Saint Laurent is famous for incorporating elements of the famed designer’s illustrious career into fragrance names and styles.
Lavallière is the latest addition, taking its name from the thin silk scarf lavallière, which aims to be styled like a tie on the neck.

The Le Vestiaire des Parfums Signature Collection demonstrates its decadent refinement in an architectural bottle of sheer, square-cut glass.
The ornamental jewel cap mirrors the “grain de poudre” texture of Monsieur Saint Laurent’s beloved tuxedo fabric.
The name was previously also used in the makeup couture collection for a blusher and a lipstick in the Rouge Volupte Shine line.
Inspired by the emblematic creations of Monsieur Saint Laurent, Yves Saint Laurent Beauté’sLe Vestiaire des Parfums Signature Collection is a collection of fragrances that each interpret a centrepiece of the couturier’s wardrobe.
Sleek and structured tailoring meets delicately sheer fabrics to inspire these scents that truly encapsulate the disruptive yet timelessly elegant YSL style and spirit.
The company presents the perfume amidst a background of pale roses with the tagline “An androgynous fragrance built on a fig and rose accord.”
Lavallière means bow and is inspired by an accessory that frequented many Yves Saint Laurent catwalks.
Taking its name from the Duchess of Lavallière but originally inspired by a manly accessory, the bow, by its very nature, is gender fluid.
In Lavallière Eau de Parfum, the silky texture of the bow is evoked in the creamy, delicate notes of fig.
The green floral scent is completed by juicy blackcurrant and romantic, radiant rose, encapsulating masculine and feminine elements to make for a beguiling unisex fragrance.
Just like a lavalliere, this scent is the perfect finishing touch to any outfit, leaving you at your most confident.
Lavallière Eau de Parfum is a floral green and ambery unisex scent, where creamy fig combines with juicy blackcurrant wrapped around rose petals.
- Top notes: blackcurrant, fig accord, bergamot
- Heart notes: geranium essence, roe, jasmine absolute
- Base notes: vetiver essence, cashmeran, musk.
APPLICATION
- For light intensity: spray in a cloud around your head and shoulders, and let the fragrance fall gently around you.
- For medium intensity: spray in a y-shape across your body, beginning at one shoulder and finishing at the other. If you are wearing jewelry, it is an excellent alternative to spraying your neck.
- For added intensity: apply perfume directly to your pulse points and/or hot spots (wrist, inner elbow, and lower neck). Here, your body’s heat will allow the fragrance to reveal its full trail. Include shoulders and back to intensify your perfume trail
OTHER APPLICATION TIPS:
- Hair & hair accessories: they can be fragranced for a gentle fragrance trail. For just a halo of scent, spray your hairbrush only.
- Garments: perfume the inside of your jacket and coats for a medium trail. For added fragrance intensity, go further and perfume your blouse/jumper.
- Scarves: for lighter fragrance, spray a scarf and wrap the scarf around your neck to gently transfer the scent onto yourself.
- Bathing: spritz perfume on warm bath water for an indulgent experience.
