An unmistakably rich, almost theatrical presence carries through Ysatis Perfume, a fragrance built for women who want depth over simplicity. Basil, Brazilian rosewood, juniper, anise bergamot, and assorted citruses make the first impression with an herbal, slightly spiced freshness that quickly gives way to something warmer. Narcissus, rum, jasmine, tuberose, orchid, carnation, and rose steer the heart into a dense, intoxicating floral bouquet unlike most modern releases. Laurels, patchouli, amber, sandalwood, honey, cloves, vanilla, civet, musk, vetiver, and oakmoss finish in an extraordinarily rich, resinous base. As a floral oriental chypre, Ysatis suits formal evenings and cooler seasons where its considerable weight has room to breathe. Givenchy composed this fragrance for connoisseurs of vintage style perfumery, offering complexity that modern minimalism rarely attempts, a real collector's fragrance for anyone drawn to old world glamour. Even brief exposure tends to leave a noticeable trail, so a lighter application usually suffices.
