Cosmetics and perfumes have long been included in the Saint Laurent’s offerings.
The house’s first fragrance for women was launched in 1964 and was named Y for women.
This and several other launches by YSL including Rive Gauche launched in 1970, Opium launched in 1977 and men’s scent Kourous launched in 1981 and Paris which was launched in 1983 have become modern classics of the perfume world and remain best sellers.
