The Story
Champagne by Yves Saint Laurent is a sparkling floral fruity fragrance that captures the effervescence of a celebration. Launched in 1993, it opens with a burst of peach, blackcurrant, and aldehydes, leading to a heart of rose, jasmine, and iris. The base is warm and sensual with amber, musk, and vanilla. This perfume was later renamed Yvresse due to a legal dispute with the Champagne region.
