Yves Saint Laurent Beauty has unveiled its latest addition to the Le Vestiaire des Parfums collection: Muse Inspiring Ink.
This new fragrance, created by Master Perfumer Marie Salamagne, captures the spirit of Monsieur Yves Saint Laurent’s muses, artists, models, and loved ones, whose unique energy and style shaped the couturier’s designs. Muse blends enigmatic ink notes with powdery iris and sensual Bourbon vanilla, delivering a fragrance described as a “skin scent that explodes”.
The launch is part of a broader expansion of Le Vestiaire des Parfums, an exclusive Haute Parfumerie collection inspired by Saint Laurent’s iconic designs and creative inspirations. Each scent in the collection is a tribute to the couturier’s style, crafted by leading perfumers including Salamagne, Juliette Karagueuzoglou, Quentin Bisch, and Dominique Ropion.
In addition to Muse, the collection features fragrances directly referencing YSL’s most recognisable garments and materials, such as Tuxedo, Blouse, Saharienne, Caban, and Trench, as well as scents inspired by fabrics and accessories including Cuir, Velours, Gold, and Babycat. The Edition Couture line pays homage to the Maison’s iconic addresses in Paris and abroad with scents named after 37 Rue de Bellechasse, 24 Rue de l’Université, and 6 Place Saint Sulpice.
Le Vestiaire des Parfums also introduces a new range of Hand & Body Washes, designed to extend the sensory experience. These scented washes are intended to cleanse the skin gently while preparing it for the application of layered fragrances.
For home fragrance, the collection expands into scented candles inspired by key YSL destinations such as Paris, Marrakech, and New York. Each candle evokes the distinctive atmosphere of these locations while reflecting the brand’s fusion of style and scent.
The Le Vestiaire des Parfums bottle has been designed by Suzanne Dalton. It features a sharply cut-glass silhouette, black grain de poudre textured cap, and a black label framed in glass, mirroring the brand’s couture roots. The coffret housing the bottle mirrors this aesthetic, lined with a mirror finish to magnify the colour of the fragrance.
