24 RUE DE L’UNIVERSITÉ SCENTED CANDLE
Ascend onto the Couture stage through a creamy sandalwood, imbued with voluptuous, woody facets.
TRAVEL TO
24 Rue de l’Université. On October 2013, this address became more than just a location; it epitomized the return of Yves Saint Laurent to Rive Gauche, a historic district synonymous with the brand’s origins. In this 17th-century private mansion, once the Hôtel de Sénecterre, now lie the beating heart of the Maison – its ateliers. Within its walls, a new story unfolds – the story of a scented candle capturing the very essence of couture creation. Sunlight streams through the tall windows, illuminating the immaculate white wood panelling. Here, amidst this serene elegance, inspiration takes flight. Sketches take shape, fabrics whisper secrets of iconic collections yet to be unveiled. The soft click of scissors, the hushed murmur of voices discussing a drape, the precise movements of skilled hands – traces of meticulous craftsmanship – the air within 24 Rue de l'Université vibrates with creative energy. Each bearing the mark of Yves Saint Laurent’s visionary spirit. The majestic rooms, once a Ministry and designed by Louis XIV’s architect, Thomas Gobert, would later host fashion shows and advertising campaigns.
THE OLFACTION
Steeped in history and buzzing with inspiring energy, the creative ambiance of this destination is reflected through the creamy, woody scent of sandalwood. Drawn from one of the most coveted trees in the world, this couture material is prized for its noble, delicately sensuous nature. A fitting tribute to the very essence of Saint Laurent.
Reminiscent of the atelier’s polished panelling, its soft texture is enhanced by a dark, velvety suede accord, echoing the luxurious materials that shape the Maison’s collections. Smoky cypriol and smooth cedarwood intertwine, their earthy, spicy depth – enveloped by wisps of precious incense – recalling the studio’s couture blend of heritage and modernity.
