Yves Saint Laurent

24 Rue de L'Université

24 Rue de L'Université by Yves Saint Laurent is an unisex eau de parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with incense and cypriol, moves into cedarwood and suede and dries down to sandalwood. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.

Notes, explained

Opening

• Incense Smoky, dry and meditative. Adds gravity to anything.
• Cypriol Also called nagarmotha. Smoky, leathery, earthy — a vetiver relative.

Heart

• Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
• Suede Soft, powdery leather. Much gentler than the real thing.

Dry-down

• Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
