Yvresse is a Voluptuous 50's Pinup Model obviously a Bottled Blonde faux Tan Jayne Mansfield, Mamie van Doren, Marilyn Monroe, In a Red skintight Sequinned Mermaid cut sleeveless Gown UPDATE (next day): well, this one is actually not bad, might be even enjoyable, but for those who have experienced the original one this one might not be enough. While original one was like a dance of champagne bubbles this one is more like a sad purple rain. More like Sauternes than Champagne, but I don’t want to start another trademark issue for this fragrance. Yes, this has similarities to wine, but it seems much more like a sweet dessert wine than anything else. And, yes, there is a chypre base to Yvresse, but overall the fragrance is much more about fruitiness and sweet florals. A well-made sweet wine is one where all the fruit/honey/sweetness is balanced by a proper degree of acidity, though the acidity is a small element when compared to the sugar. The point is largely lost on me with dessert wines and I guess here as well. And this will be a fragrance i would always re-buy. I can definitely see this being someone’s signature scent. It has extreme longevity of 12+ hours whilst also projecting like crazy for 8+ hours. I don’t get why not more people talk about this one cause it’s truly a masterpiece. I get all the other comparisons---Chinatown but without the full dose of the chypre base; Femme, but with less cumin and more honey. But the real point of comparison to me is another Grosman work, Prescriptives Calyx. Calyx has all the fruit, all the rose, but a bit less sugar and more moss. Granted, a different flavor (guava v peach) makes for a qualitative difference, but compositionally, there’s much to compare. Calyx’s success is taking the fruitiest of fruit scents, one that you can almost taste (ripe guava) and balancing it with enough moss and dry rose to compensate for the sweetness, leaving a heady aroma with a spectacularly balanced drydown. Yvresse uses sweeter fruit, adds honey-like amber, uses a sweeter rose, and less moss. Yvresse does lose some of the sweetness as it ages, but what is left without the sweetness? It gets threadbare.

The note of Peach is the Champagne she sips from that matches the Liquid luster of gold Bed sheets in a Luxurious Red & Gold Penthouse overlooking 5th Avenue On New Years Eve, As Yvresse dries to the middle the Innocent Although Yvress is inspired by champagne, I am not sure whether I get a fizzy feeling, but I do get an uplifting fun feeling from the lychee – one of my favourite fruits – and peachy nectarine opening. Lychee in particular is a wonderful, fleshy, tropical fruit with a light and bright fruity aroma that sings freely through the top of the perfume. Perhaps it is the patchouli, which I get relatively upfront when I spray on my skin, that grounds the fruit with an earthy, decidedly non-bubbly tone. However, the patchouli is also integral to the chypre structure, which is what gives it a more sophisticated feeling that does gel well with the occasion of drinking champagne. This fragrance is definitely a head turner. It’s super juicy and fruity whilst also being powdery and sophisticated. It’s definitely more of a mature fruity fragrance. It almost smells like you are somewhere very tropical. Like a beach or even a rainforest When my husband and I bought Grandma's house last year and my mother-in-law cleaned out the basement, a rare find was found in one of the basement rooms. There was a separate room in the basement just for Grandpa and his worn horse clothes, riding pants, etc. Grandma wanted it that way.... My mother-in-law actually found a small bottle of Yvresse among all the clothes. Since the bottle was still well filled, she probably thought it was too bad to throw it away. And that was a good thing. So where to put the bottle she found? Sure, off to the daughter-in-law, who has such a soft spot for fragrances. Well my mother in law knows me ;-)Going by the tester card I couldnt deal with this all day, but, in winter and layered Yvresse might perform differently. The heart is supposed to be floral but once again the fruit, though comprised of only two notes, is the dominant accord. The whole thing becomes a cassis scent when the nectar scent begins to disappear. Before long a mimosa or something like a heliotrope flower scent emerges. I love mimosas and heliotropes and they smell the same in perfume as notes. The lilac scent joins the heliotrope-like mimosa. I get sweet pretty little flowery scents of two flowers I really enjoy: heliotrope and mimosa. The currant is still there to keep it fruity. It's soft and not at all an exaggeration of fruity floral scents. Authority to prescribe an Authority medicine is granted for specific indications and/or for certain patient circumstances.

There HAS TO BE at least some BENZOIN and some CINNAMON and SPICES in this, as well as a WHIPPED CREAM ACCORD and maybe even some STRAWBERRIES because I sure as hell am smelling them! I know this has been voted as a fall/winter scent but on this hot day in summer, I am transported to a fantasy world with pink fluffy clouds, pink flamingos wearing sunglasses, a cheerful, upbeat beach/pool scene in a totally stylized neon-colored fantasy world of the late 80's/early 90's. I totally understand why this was originally called Champagne because I really do get that light fizzy,fruity pink champagne peach bellini feeling. Some drugs may have Authority Required (Streamlined) status which does not require an explicit approval from Medicare, instead the doctor can use the Authority code found in the published Schedule for a given drug/indication. Yvresse’s overall feel is light and joyful, but I wouldn’t call it simple. Yvresse is like a ballerina, disciplined and intellectual, but making her art seem easy and natural, unpredictable, and in the end inevitable. Yvresse isn’t necessarily easy to wear, either. Yvresse might seduce you initially with its tingling fruit and mint, but if you aren’t up to the complexity of a chypre, or if oakmoss and patchouli turn fetid on your skin, you might be better off turning to a crisp, clear bouquet of spring flowers for a celebratory scent.

I think i have never loved a fragrance this much. Right from the first time i smelled this I immediately fell in love, something about this captivated me! This is also one of the first non celeb perfume that i bought. This fragrance is a beauty all year around but definitely the best in summer and spring. During summer and spring the nectarine really has it’s main character moment , whilst in the winter and fall the violet has it’s main character moment. UPDATE: (30.april 2013) after wearing it several times i came up to conclusion that this is not a good one. The opening is very powdery mimose, for my nose is not pleasant at all and very simple. Then it just dissapeares after 20 minutes and stays very close to the skin, almost undetectable. No, not my taste at all. I have compared the original "Champagne" and "Yvresse legere" on both wrists and "Legere" is the looser for sure in this fight. The scent of "Legere" is actually the less intensive drydown of the original "Champagne". I can´t even call them similar fragrances at all, this is not a lighter version of the original, this is different version, different scent. While i can´t take my nose off the "Champagne" wrist, i smell almost nothing on "legere" wrist. I would compare them like a couple of people with similar interests, that start to live together and share some similar hobbies, tastes etc, but in general they still have thier own hobbies that are quite different from each other. Unmarried couple wiling to get married but can´t make it due to mutual dissagreement. :) A Blast from the Past... I remember my mother having the original Champagne, later the renamed Yvresse (because of the Champagne trademark protection lawsuit) and I, in my teens, having a huge frosted bottle of the legere -version, having found the EDP too strong for my teenage sensitivities, but fascinated with the scent. All the original bottles were gorgeous, very well crafted to emanate the champagne -filled special moment happiness and luxury of the scent. Yves Saint Laurent Yvresse eau de toilette natural spray for women is a fresh and intense scent, opening with top notes of nectarine and lychee, blending with a heart of rose and violet blossom, all of which is rounded off with a smooth base of patchouli. For me yvresse legere is a lovely powdery floral with some sweet fruits and a woody undertone, I wished the initial phase last longer,that bubbly fruity sweetness,so much like a fruity champagne,I also like my fragrances to be loud and long-lasting..this one has a good staying power and sillage is good in opening but then it becomes soft,so I think I will love original yvresse even more.though this one is definitely a full bottle worthy for me

YVRESSE, in fact, helped me to refine my concept of chypre, which I now believe to contain essentially within it a big, big and abiding sillage that follows me about constantly reminding me that I am in the midst of a cloud of chypre dust! On the oakmoss to vetiver continuum, YVRESSE lies much closer to the vetiver end. when Yves Saint Laurent Yvresse was launched, it was named Champagne. It wasn’t long before the Champagne lobby noticed and strong-armed YSL into renaming its new perfume. Whether Yvresse smells to you like Champagne or a bellini or a tropical fruit-scented viognier, you probably agree that its new name — a play on “ivresse”, the French word for intoxication — is a perfect fit. It's feminine and delightful,lifts my mood and is sweet and bubbly yet elegant..it's not fresh,but is kind of summery,I'm going to wear it year round as soon as I buy a bigger bottle,also I'm going to look for original yvresse

Prescriptions must be written on an Authority Prescription Form, and the approval number must be noted on the prescription. Pharmacists cannot dispense the item as a pharmaceutical benefit unless it has been approved by Medicare Australia (indicated by the presence of the approval number). Where "Champagne" is loud, syrupy sweet and fizzy in a good way, this one is shadow of the original. I find mimose to be the most dominant note in this composition, surrounded by nectarine, lilac and cassis. However the original version is all about peaches and chypre. The drydown of "Legere" for me is quite synthetic and all about mimose. Inbetween i do smell a hint of rose and vetyver, but the frgrance in general is so soft, that normally if you wear it you might even not notice those notes. A tribute to my mom... Yvresse by YSL and Opium by YSL was in the 90`s the signature fragrance of my mom. Today she wears exclusively Eau des Merveilles by Hermés, fits her like a second skin. She doesn't like it so loud anymore. Is probably so when you get older. I don´t know if "Yvresse" is different than original "Champagne" formula, i only have original Champagne and never tried the "Yvresse" version, except this one.
