About this deal

I don´t know if "Yvresse" is different than original "Champagne" formula, i only have original Champagne and never tried the "Yvresse" version, except this one. UPDATE (next day): well, this one is actually not bad, might be even enjoyable, but for those who have experienced the original one this one might not be enough. While original one was like a dance of champagne bubbles this one is more like a sad purple rain.

Yvresse is a Voluptuous 50's Pinup Model obviously a Bottled Blonde faux Tan Jayne Mansfield, Mamie van Doren, Marilyn Monroe, In a Red skintight Sequinned Mermaid cut sleeveless Gown with her hips slowly gliding to a gentile Rumba of an Old Nat King Song Quizas Quizas Quizas, On an Old Record player, Rummaging through my endless supply of minis, I came across this gentle and forgotten beauty. It had little time on the stage. I can compare it to Yvresse and it definitely takes a different direction. Some of the best flankers arrived from YSL in the 1990s. This can be counted as one of them. And this will be a fragrance i would always re-buy. I can definitely see this being someone’s signature scent. It has extreme longevity of 12+ hours whilst also projecting like crazy for 8+ hours. I don’t get why not more people talk about this one cause it’s truly a masterpiece. There are a lot more notes in this than what's written on the side of the bottle (or on Fragrantica) that's for sure!

Miscellaneous

Although Yvress is inspired by champagne, I am not sure whether I get a fizzy feeling, but I do get an uplifting fun feeling from the lychee – one of my favourite fruits – and peachy nectarine opening. Lychee in particular is a wonderful, fleshy, tropical fruit with a light and bright fruity aroma that sings freely through the top of the perfume. Perhaps it is the patchouli, which I get relatively upfront when I spray on my skin, that grounds the fruit with an earthy, decidedly non-bubbly tone. However, the patchouli is also integral to the chypre structure, which is what gives it a more sophisticated feeling that does gel well with the occasion of drinking champagne. Yvresse opens very tart, fruity, strong and yes, fizzy. Whether you like the scent or not, the olfactory experience you witness is unlike anything you'll ever come across. A Blast from the Past... I remember my mother having the original Champagne, later the renamed Yvresse (because of the Champagne trademark protection lawsuit) and I, in my teens, having a huge frosted bottle of the legere -version, having found the EDP too strong for my teenage sensitivities, but fascinated with the scent. All the original bottles were gorgeous, very well crafted to emanate the champagne -filled special moment happiness and luxury of the scent. When my husband and I bought Grandma's house last year and my mother-in-law cleaned out the basement, a rare find was found in one of the basement rooms. There was a separate room in the basement just for Grandpa and his worn horse clothes, riding pants, etc. Grandma wanted it that way.... My mother-in-law actually found a small bottle of Yvresse among all the clothes. Since the bottle was still well filled, she probably thought it was too bad to throw it away. And that was a good thing. So where to put the bottle she found? Sure, off to the daughter-in-law, who has such a soft spot for fragrances. Well my mother in law knows me ;-) Caraway Dry dominates the first minute then Cinnamon sweeter Supports the Caraway The Underpinning of Patchouli gives the base an Semi sweet earthiness Amber & Musk Enrich the scent with it's sweet Texture And Hidden note of Incense the Styrax Note

This version is a quiet one, much softer sillage and weaker lasting power. Too quiet i would say. I think this would be better for spring or cold summer days, But original version is more suitable for fall-winter and great for summer nights. To be completly honest, i am dissapointed in this version in terms of sillage and lasting power, however it is very lovely still. Better go for original version. I get all the other comparisons---Chinatown but without the full dose of the chypre base; Femme, but with less cumin and more honey. But the real point of comparison to me is another Grosman work, Prescriptives Calyx. Calyx has all the fruit, all the rose, but a bit less sugar and more moss. Granted, a different flavor (guava v peach) makes for a qualitative difference, but compositionally, there’s much to compare. Calyx’s success is taking the fruitiest of fruit scents, one that you can almost taste (ripe guava) and balancing it with enough moss and dry rose to compensate for the sweetness, leaving a heady aroma with a spectacularly balanced drydown. Yvresse uses sweeter fruit, adds honey-like amber, uses a sweeter rose, and less moss. Yvresse does lose some of the sweetness as it ages, but what is left without the sweetness? It gets threadbare.

Drug Interactions

This fragrance is definitely a head turner. It’s super juicy and fruity whilst also being powdery and sophisticated. It’s definitely more of a mature fruity fragrance. It almost smells like you are somewhere very tropical. Like a beach or even a rainforest If you love original "Yvresse" but find it too loud sometimes to wear then this one would be your perfect match. At the end of the 1990s, YSL was all about testing the market while trusting the classics as the foundation of sales. The first flankers for Opium, Rive Gauche and Paris were introduced. Paris Baby Doll was a hit. Everything else just vanished into perfume history. Sadly after 2009 everything was radically changed by L'Oreal Paris. I’ve heard that Yvresse was inspired by Rochas Femme, and while they are both intimate, peachy chypres, Yvresse is not nearly as aggressive as Femme, and if you didn’t know that Yvresse had a touch of cumin like Femme does, you probably wouldn’t notice it. Houbigant Aperçu is another chypre with peach, but I smell less sex and more demure rose in Aperçu than I do in Yvresse. Another scent that Yvresse reminds me of a little is Ines de la Fressange, but the Ines doesn’t have the same bubbly opening and feels a little more soapy and wholesome to me. I think i have never loved a fragrance this much. Right from the first time i smelled this I immediately fell in love, something about this captivated me! This is also one of the first non celeb perfume that i bought. This fragrance is a beauty all year around but definitely the best in summer and spring. During summer and spring the nectarine really has it’s main character moment , whilst in the winter and fall the violet has it’s main character moment.

It is truely light and warm weather friendly. The rose is barely there. The focus is mimosa, peach, lilac anc possibly freesia/lily? Its almost aquatic and a little goumand. There is a small chypre accord of patcholi, oakmoss and a whisper of vetiver on a most fragile base of sandalwood/cedar. It lasts about 3 hours with minimal projection. Just like a glass of champagne, Yvresse entertains us with sophistication and intoxicating appeal. The incredibly unique blend of notes throughout makes this fragrance truly unforgettable. One of a kind. Prescriptions must be written on an Authority Prescription Form, and the approval number must be noted on the prescription. Pharmacists cannot dispense the item as a pharmaceutical benefit unless it has been approved by Medicare Australia (indicated by the presence of the approval number).

MULTIPLE PACKS

Yvresse’s overall feel is light and joyful, but I wouldn’t call it simple. Yvresse is like a ballerina, disciplined and intellectual, but making her art seem easy and natural, unpredictable, and in the end inevitable. Yvresse isn’t necessarily easy to wear, either. Yvresse might seduce you initially with its tingling fruit and mint, but if you aren’t up to the complexity of a chypre, or if oakmoss and patchouli turn fetid on your skin, you might be better off turning to a crisp, clear bouquet of spring flowers for a celebratory scent. Authority to prescribe an Authority medicine is granted for specific indications and/or for certain patient circumstances. Authority may be obtained by telephone to Medicare Australia (known as "phone approval") or in writing from an authorised delegate of the Minister for Health. The note of Peach is the Champagne she sips from that matches the Liquid luster of gold Bed sheets in a Luxurious Red & Gold Penthouse overlooking 5th Avenue On New Years Eve, As Yvresse dries to the middle the Innocent The original was a real powerhouse in sillage and longevity and the Collection version is to be sprayed with consideration too. Personally I use too sprays max, and even one spray is enough if you want to use this on an everyday basis. I wouldn't call this office safe, more of a special moment scent. (Which to me can mean anything from a happy day off work or a big festivity) The collection bottle will last you a long time.
