Yves Saint Laurent Gold Eau de Parfum is a floral amber fragrance featuring the intoxicating tuberose. This luxurious French perfume is perfect for evening wear, offering a radiant and creamy scent that lasts. Discover its captivating blend of jasmine and ylang-ylang.
A supreme flower bouquet embodying the blaze of gold. The intoxicating tuberose encapsulates the brightest and most radiant of colours that Yves Saint Laurent called today's black.
The olfaction: To glorify the brightest and most radiant of colours in fragrance, the Master Perfumer Dominique Ropion, a virtuoso of white flowers, chose the nighttime diva of the garden. Solar, voluptuously creamy, fruity, spicy, kissed with golden honeyed nectar, the tuberose gives off a sublimely radiant scent from dusk to dawn. A supreme flower, embodying the blaze of Gold, to glow like the sun during the festive hours. Because, as Yves Saint Laurent would say, An evening should glow; otherwise, it's a bit absurd. And as befits an icon, the flamboyant tuberose starring in GOLD has an entourage of lustrous floral beauties. Tropical ylang-ylang with its golden petals and sultry jasmine sambac amplifies its solar creaminess and deliciously fruity tones in a supreme bouquet irradiating a rich amber glow.
Fragrance family: Floral Ambery.

The inspiration: It is today's black. I always enliven black with gold, through buttons, belts and chains, said Yves Saint Laurent. A memory of his sun-filled childhood in Oran, no collection escaped the couturier's 'golden' touch. The very first piece he showed on the runway in his own name was a pea coat adorned with gold buttons. The warm metallic colour lent its dazzling brilliance to brocade, lace, lamé, sequins, leather, and embroidery. Evening pieces that seemed entirely sculpted out of gold, like the gleaming, goddess-draped, cut-out gown from Yves Saint Laurent's autumn/winter 1991/1992. Yves Saint Laurent's style lies in the ability to seamlessly blend simplicity with opulence. Gold plays a pivotal role in this delicate balance. Its very presence sublimates even the most understated designs, imbuing them with a sense of richness and extravagance without overwhelming their inherent elegance. The result is a sophisticated interplay between minimalism and luxury. The YSL silhouette is confident, independent, and unapologetically daring. Gold, in the hands of Yves Saint Laurent, becomes an extension of this attitude, a symbol of its aspirations and desires. It creates an aura of richness and extravagance that emanates not just from the garment itself but from the person who wears it, reflecting its inner strength and supreme allure.
