CŒUR – LE VESTIAIRE DES PARFUMS
A spicy amber unisex fragrance with precious orris butter
CŒUR Eau de Parfum is a spicy amber unisex fragrance by Yves Saint Laurent – Le Vestiaire des Parfums. CŒUR is a tribute to the house’s ultimate good-luck talisman: the Coeur fétiche. Born from M. Saint Laurent’s childhood and his first declaration of love, this iconic heart-shaped jewel was worn by his dearest muses on every catwalk from 1962 to 2002. This signature scent captures that beloved symbol of devotion, embodied by the smoky gourmandise of sacred amber.
ABOUT THE FRAGRANCE:
Master Perfumer Daniela Andrierdesigned the scent to reflect the rich duality of the jewel itself: the warmth of its red crystals versus the coolness of its metallic, smoky rhinestones. The fragrance pulses with the sensual warmth of myrrh and labdanum, contrasted by the incisive coolness of sparkling aldehydes. This passionate amber heart is beautifully woven through with earthy Indonesian patchouli, creamy Virginian cedarwood, and precious French orris butter, which brings a subtly floral, powdery lightness to the deep, refined trail.

OF ASSEMBLAGE
BLENDING THE FINEST INGREDIENTS
COMPOSED WITH PRECISION
Created by Master Perfumer Daniela Andrier, CŒUR is an ambery spicy fragrance that is both warm and metallic, vibrant and sensual. By playing on the tension between sparkling aldehydes and sensual amber, she creates a composition of bold character and refined depth.
AN EXCLUSIVE RUBY-AMBER ACCORD
AN ICONIC NOTE, REIMAGINED FOR YSL
An iconic pillar of perfumery, amber is reimagined for Yves Saint Laurent in a bold expression of warmth and coolness. Its traditionally suave, resinous depth is sharpened by sparkling aldehydes, creating a radiant trail with a distinctly metallic edge.
FRENCH IRIS BUTTER
CULTIVATED FOR THREE YEARS
Cultivated in the South of France for three years before harvest, Iris pallida yields a precious butter of exceptional depth. In COEUR, it brings an airy, powdery floral lightness, with refined facets of violet, raspberry, and pepper.
THE CŒUR FÉTICHE:
A HOUSE LEGACY
CŒUR pays tribute to the House’s good-luck talisman: the Cœur Fétiche. Worn by Monsieur Saint Laurent’s dearest muses from 1962 to 2002, the iconic heart-shaped jewel became an enduring symbol of devotion and daring.
Encrusted with smoky gray rhinestones, red crystals, and pearl teardrop cabochons, it was pinned by the couturier himself over his favorite model’s heart before each show.
A BEATING RUBY-RED BOTTLE
Encapsulated in its sleek, architectural bottle, COEUR’s deep-red juice echoes the ruby-inspired amber accord at the heart of the fragrance. A bold expression of passion, pulsing with the daring spirit of YSL.
*PRESERVE YOUR PRECIOUS BOTTLE
Just as a fine vintage, we recommend to store your fragrance away from direct light and heat.
