Cinéma Yves Saint Laurent
Middle notes are Jasmine, Peony and Amaryllis;
Base notes are Vanilla, Amber, Benzoin and White Musk.
The beauty and glitz of old Hollywood are reflected in the scent of Cinema. This is a fascinating thought.
Let me now explain why this is so intriguing. I immediately detected the fruitiness of this scent when I first sprayed it on my skin.
That didn’t surprise me, but it wasn’t simply fruity; it also had a sour undertone. The sourness of the fruity overtones creates a syrupy mouthfeel.
It’s a fruity scent rather than a floral one. There are amaryllis and jasmine, but they are delicate and light.
Jacques Cavallier is the mastermind behind this amazing beast. He understands what he’s doing because he’s created numerous well-known designer perfumes.
Vanilla begins to work its charm in the dry down. It loses its sourness and becomes powdery. It has a long lasting effect on my skin, lasting 10 to 12 hours.
