FRANCE. Yves Saint Laurent Beauté has created a new spring fragrance from designer Oscar de la Renta. The limited-edition Oscar Fresh Vanilla – a successor to Oscar Bamboo and Oscar Pink Lily – will be available in travel retail from 1 March.
As its name suggests, this latest fragrance was inspired by the rich, exotic scent of the vanilla bean, fruit of the vanilla orchid. The juice is described as a fusion of bright notes and warm seduction, opening on notes of bergamot and blackcurrant.
The heart is a blend of rose, marshmallow and orange blossom, leading to a base of vanilla, Peru balsam and musk.
The flacon design and colour-scheme were inspired by a flower’s corolla (the innermost petals). The livery is graphic and vibrant, with a yellow-green background offset by orange flowers.
To complement the fragrance, YSL has created a charm bracelet featuring petal-like charms in the shape of the Oscar Fresh Vanilla bottle, presented in its own drawstring pouch.
Oscar Fresh Vanilla will be available as a 60ml edt spray, priced in travel retail at €33.60.
