Mon Paris Lumière by Yves Saint-Laurent, the fragrance of a passionate love inspired by the most romantic city there is: 1957. At just 21 years old, Yves Saint-Laurent triumphantly began his career at the heart of Paris, taking over the reins of the prestigious house of Dior. From that day forward, and for his entire life, Yves Saint-Laurent remained irrevocably tied to the city known as the City of Light.
Perfumers have always been deeply inspired by love stories. And what better city than Paris to bear witness to the languorous exchanges between two lovers? Indeed, throughout the world, Paris is renowned as the city of lovers. It is therefore by drawing inspiration from it that the fragrance Mon Paris Lumière by Yves Saint-Laurent is now created. Fully dedicated to the lovers of tomorrow, this is a chypre, floral and aquatic juice, as radiant and luminous as a woman in love. Likewise, when it comes to the bottle, Mon Paris Lumière is not lacking in poetry...
A bottle inspired by a first 1983 version
Mon Paris Lumière by Yves Saint-Laurent follows a long collection of fragrances. Indeed, during his lifetime, Yves Saint-Laurent had already conceived a fragrance bearing this name. With the infinite love he held for this city, he conceived the fragrance Paris in 1983. This one was presented in a faceted glass globe, topped with a pink and black cap, contrasting with the rest of the whole, as if to embody the refined fantasy of the house of Yves Saint-Laurent. Its slightly rounded silhouette and its multiple facets have been preserved, giving rise to the new bottle of Mon Paris Lumière by Yves Saint-Laurent.
The bow, an essential element of the Mon Paris collection
As always, this glass case is decorated at its neck. A black leather bow ties around its neck, in the manner of a necktie. This gives the fragrance a slightly boyish touch. What is more, the ties of this bow are fastened by a very refined golden cassandre, bearing on it the three intertwined initials of the Yves Saint-Laurent logo.
When the Plissé Lumière dresses the bottle of Yves Saint-Laurent
Naturally, if there were to be only one piece characterizing this entire bottle, it would undoubtedly be its imposing organza bow. Black, sequined and slightly transparent, it is a nod to the designer’s couture world. Indeed, throughout his career, Yves Saint-Laurent designed a great many transparent blouses. The Plissé Lumière was then a technique that belonged to him alone. Unmistakably, the bottle of Mon Paris Lumière by Yves Saint-Laurent draws inspiration from sketches taken from the house’s archives. The whole rests on another nude fabric in glossy satin. The result is the image of a voluptuous, transparent blouse, revealing through layering all the beauty of the undressed female body.
The soft, faceted shape of the Mon Paris Lumière bottle
Finally, the silhouette of this bottle perfectly echoes the union of two beings. Its imposing glass and sturdy shape refer to the natural charisma of men. Conversely, the fact that it is sculpted like a jewel and its roundness are a pledge of poetry and tenderness. The bottle of Mon Paris Lumière by Yves Saint-Laurent, through its contours, reflects the image of delicate feminine shoulders wrapped in the comforting arms of their lover. Here again, Mon Paris Lumière carries within it a message of love.
