Givenchy Ysatis Eau De Toilette

Givenchy Ysatis Eau de Toilette was launched in 1984 and created by perfumer Dominique Ropion. This fragrance is an emblem of bold elegance and opulence, capturing the lavish spirit of the 1980s with a complex and daring chypre-floriental composition. Ysatis was designed for the confident, sophisticated woman who commands attention with her presence and embraces a luxurious lifestyle. It exudes a strong personality through its rich and multifaceted layers, making it a true classic in the world of haute perfumery.

The opening sparkles with an invigorating burst of aldehydes paired with fresh citrus notes such as bergamot, mandarin orange, and orange blossom. Exotic florals like ylang-ylang and galbanum add an unusual, green brightness that cuts through the initial richness. There’s also a subtle tropical sweetness from coconut and a warm hint of rosewood, all combining to create a vibrant and captivating introduction that immediately draws the senses in.

At the heart, the fragrance unfolds into a lush and intoxicating floral bouquet. Jasmine and tuberose impart a creamy, sensual richness, while narcissus adds a slightly narcotic, honeyed facet. Carnation and iris provide a spiced and powdery texture, and rose deepens the romantic character. Together, these floral notes form a complex and elegant core that balances softness with an undeniable intensity, embodying a feminine strength that is both alluring and unforgettable.

The base of Ysatis is deeply warm and sensual, grounding the fragrance with a blend of oakmoss, patchouli, and sandalwood that lends an earthy, woody depth. Amber and musk add a smooth, creamy warmth, while civet and honey introduce an animalic and sweet richness. Cloves, vetiver, and bay rum offer a subtle spiciness and smoky nuance, enriching the drydown and creating a long-lasting, enveloping trail. This intricate base gives Ysatis its legendary longevity and sillage, ensuring it lingers gracefully throughout the day and night.
