Cinéma

Yves Saint Laurent launched Cinéma in 2004, a women’s eau de parfum composed by Jacques Cavallier. According to Milano Finanza, the house was returning to its roots after Nu, the first women’s fragrance of the Tom Ford era, whose sales had disappointed. It presents the fragrance as a tribute to the seventh art.

A trophy for a star

The house describes a woman who pleases and loves to please, aware of her power, who moves through life as if under the spotlights, elegant and self-assured. The bottle, it says, is a trophy for a star, and the fragrance reveals the star in every woman.

Summer editions

The line has seen seasonal editions: Cinéma Festival d’Été in 2006 and 2007, and Cinéma Scénario d’Été in 2008, a limited-edition eau de toilette with lime and ylang-ylang, according to Now Smell This.

What the house says today

Its current description speaks of a radiant amber floral fragrance that embodies the magnetism of a captivating woman, glowing from within, and of a freshness warmed by amber and musk. The eau de parfum is still sold, notably in an 80 milliliter bottle.
