Review of Yvresse (1993) Eau de Toilette by RINA

A vibrant burst of peach, like effervescent cider, bursts forth. This refreshing quality sets it apart from current fruity perfumes, possessing an overwhelming sense of elegance. A gentle fragrance of apricot and rose unfolds, creating the impression of champagne bubbles dancing in a glass. The use of anise is particularly superb. The unique, floating sensation brought about by the anise gives the sweetness of the peach a lively, effervescent quality, creating an exquisite sillage. The underlying chypre note tightens the overall fragrance, making it not merely bright, but also distinctly reflecting the fashionable elegance characteristic of Saint Laurent at the time. It perfectly recreates the joyful scene of champagne effervescent before your eyes. If there is ever an opportunity for a re-release, this is a must-try, a truly historic fragrance.
