EXPRESS YOUR MASCULINITY IN ALL OF ITS FACETS WITH THE NEW MYSLF EAU DE PARFUM


Yves Saint Laurent said, “the most important encounter in life was the encounter with myself”. With this new fragrance, YSL Beauty invites you to make that encounter. To boldly express yourself with all of your nuances. To genuinely, proudly, and unapologetically embrace the exhilaration of owning who you are. To embrace your nuances and own your true self. To be bold because being yourself is the boldest thing that you can do.

MAKE A STATEMENT WITH MYSLF BY YVES SAINT LAURENT


MYSLF by Yves Saint Laurent is a generational statement on the shifting perception of masculinity and to redefine what it means to be a man. MYSLF invites you to let go of toxic cliches and lean into feelings of self-ownership, freedom, and authenticity. This fragrance explores the dynamic tension between fresh and sensual and embraces a full spectrum of olfactory nuances. More than a fragrance, it’s a statement in scent, a vision of modern masculinity.

DISCOVER THE FIRST WOODY FLORAL SCENT WITH YSL’S MYSLF


MYSLF is a fine-tuned, superbly balanced fragrance that twists the woody fragrance family with floral, because why shouldn’t a man indulge in the fresh scent of flowers? It is intense, yet subtle. Seductive, yet reserved. It is a fragrance with a lot of character.

At its heart is the sensual orange blossom, a gender-fluid flower used commonly in both masculine and feminine fragrances. Hand-harvested in Tunisia and crafted specially for YSL Beauty, it enhances the fresh, carnal, petal-like facets. It gives the fragrance its wild, beating heart and it acts like a mirror reflecting clean, innocent freshness as well as smoldering carnality.

At its opening, MYSLF is clean and vibrant, highlighting the sparkling quality of vert de bergamot crafted specifically to render the liveliness of the green scent of bergamot. The bergamot matches with the orange blossom, revealing the versatile star of the genre-defying scent.

At its base, MYSLF is subtly woody, characteristically masculine. Built around patchouli heart and Ambrofix–a 100% natural biotech material derived from sugarcane–they deliver a woody amber signature that is long-lasting, but not overpowering. Sensual and enveloping, the woody accord adds warmth, texture, and soft power to the scent.
