SAHARIENNE EAU DE PARFUM
The safari jacket’s energy is captured in a sultry neroli. A desert breeze with burning sensuality.
THE OLFACTION
A sand-colored adventure, a never-ending summer under a blazing sun… What better than sultry neroli, fashioned by the Master Perfumer Alberto Morillas, to express the burning carnal sensuality of Yves Saint Laurent’s vision in SAHARIENNE? Vibrant and solar, the pure essence of the orange blossom freely unfolds the full range of its sensations – from fresh to suave, ardent and sensual, to reveal all its warmth on your skin.
Like footprints that mark the sand along their path, its white petals leave a mirage-like imprint in SAHARIENNE’s sillage, carried by a breeze of creamy musks. As gentle as the curves of Saharan dunes, they wrap a soft, sensual aura around the luscious white flower.
THE INSPIRATION
Sultry, seductive, the safari jacket – saharienne in French -- is among Yves Saint Laurent’s most mythical garments. An expression of 1960s freedom. Inspired by the uniforms worn by Western men in Africa and India, the cotton gabardine piece was first introduced on the couture runway in 1967. The following year, it gained iconic status in a Vogue shoot with supermodel Verushka in the African savannah.
Worn in 1969 by Yves Saint Laurent and his “twin” Betty Catroux in a no less iconic picture, the saharienne epitomizes the couturier’s style. Since then, the sultry power piece, adapted for urban explorers, has become a recurring motif in the house’s collections.
The Saharienne is a testament to Yves Saint Laurent's innovative vision and his ability to create garments that are both stylish and meaningful. It is a piece that encapsulates the ideal of free adventures with a timeless elegance, solidifying its place as a cornerstone of the YSL legacy.
In essence, the Saharienne represents a sultry confidence, an adventurous and effortlessly chic attitude. It's a garment for those who embrace their individuality and seek new experiences.
