About this deal

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. 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).

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. :) 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 ;-)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 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. I asked my mother-in-law where you found the bottle. "It was in the riding cellar, the room where Grandpa always stored his riding pants and you know, my mother (Grandma) was always very difficult when it came to unpleasant odors, so you sprayed the riding clothes of Grandpa always with the perfume." What??? She didn't exactly say that now and grandma didn't really do that did she?! In fact, our Grandma Elli used to use Yvresse to spray Grandpa's horse stuff so she wouldn't have to smell the horse smell. What a shame! There are so many memories in that. Oh mom I feel sorry for you. If I told her that. There are also other things that were sprayed with perfume at Grandma and Grandpa's house, for example, the garbage can was sprayed with Chanel No. 5, it could be that the garbage men would fall down because of the stench. I wonder which of the two evils for the garbage men was worse, the actual residual waste to smell or the residual waste with Chanel No. 5 (please forgive me Chanel No.5 lovers) No offense. 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. The original was a real powerhouse in sillage and longevity and the Collection version is to be sprayed with consideration too. Personally I use too sprays max, and even one spray is enough if you want to use this on an everyday basis. I wouldn't call this office safe, more of a special moment scent. (Which to me can mean anything from a happy day off work or a big festivity) The collection bottle will last you a long time.

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. 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. Rummaging through my endless supply of minis, I came across this gentle and forgotten beauty. It had little time on the stage. I can compare it to Yvresse and it definitely takes a different direction. Some of the best flankers arrived from YSL in the 1990s. This can be counted as one of them. 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 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. There are a lot more notes in this than what's written on the side of the bottle (or on Fragrantica) that's for sure! It is truely light and warm weather friendly. The rose is barely there. The focus is mimosa, peach, lilac anc possibly freesia/lily? Its almost aquatic and a little goumand. There is a small chypre accord of patcholi, oakmoss and a whisper of vetiver on a most fragile base of sandalwood/cedar. It lasts about 3 hours with minimal projection. 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. 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.

with her hips slowly gliding to a gentile Rumba of an Old Nat King Song Quizas Quizas Quizas, On an Old Record player, If you love original "Yvresse" but find it too loud sometimes to wear then this one would be your perfect match.First of all i haven´t tried the "Yvresse" but only "Champagne" which i have both in EDT and pure parfum version and i looove it. Maybe the original "Yvresse" is no different from "Champagne", i don´t know, but yesterday i have smelled finally this new edition of "Yvresse" and was really dissapointed. Yes, it is still very much like "Champagne", but it has much more violet leaves in it and too much of the rose note. Because of that the opening is very much chemical and really unpleasant. While the original one was more fizzy thanks to the peaches, this one is having more of some dusty note in it. This one doesn´t have that amazing peach note and you can instantly feel that there are less notes in composition than in the original one. Quite suffocating in the beginning it becomes more pleasant after many hours, but still a shadow of this joy in the bottle... Nope, i will pass on this one, next please... 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. 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.

Going by the tester card I couldnt deal with this all day, but, in winter and layered Yvresse might perform differently. I am glad that Yves Saint Laurent YVRESSE was renamed from CHAMPAGNE--not because I agree with fastidious French law regarding the use of that quasi-sacred name, but because many people will not know that "ivresse" means "drunkenness", as opposed to "piles of damp sisal rugs" or "straw basket factory in the tropics," which would be far more apt names for the lengthy middle phase of this distinctive chypre perfume--were Demeter only able to isolate and capture those scents in a bottle! There is only a touch of sweetness in this fragrance, which is mostly caused by the coconut, cinnamon, litchi and vanilla. This sweetness is not unpleasant, just a little odd at first. Something that your nose will need time to adjust to. Some PBS medications are restricted and require prior approval from Medicare before a doctor is able to prescribe them on the PBS.

Legere dries down to a hint of vetiver and moss. It's woodsy but delicate and even towards the end you still smell the fruit. I would classify this as a fruity floral fragrance mist. It's very very easy to wear and perfect as a spring and summer scent. It's fresh, it's light, it's sweet, it's youthful, airy, and delicious. It's a good fragrance to wear to the beach for a couple of hours, to a pool, that is if you're the type that hangs out by a pool wearing perfume on the chairs taking in some sunlight. This is a scent to enjoy on a cruise ship or sailboat, totally summery and fun. It doesn't make a statement. Authority to prescribe an Authority medicine is granted for specific indications and/or for certain patient circumstances.

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. 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 Caraway Dry dominates the first minute then Cinnamon sweeter Supports the Caraway The Underpinning of Patchouli gives the base an Semi sweet earthiness Amber & Musk Enrich the scent with it's sweet Texture And Hidden note of Incense the Styrax Note
