YSL Pont Des Amours Fragrance



Each year Yves St. Laurent has been releasing a companion to their original Paris fragrance. This year brings Pont Des Amours. It comes in the traditional Paris bottle but with a faceted, iridescent look.

The original scent has always been a favorite, and I well remember getting a bottle not long after it came out. I haven't had the chance to sniff these counterparts, but they get high ratings from most. Each year notes are tweaked and added. One year brought violets. This year Pont Des Amours adds orange blossom among others. It sounds wonderful.

Here is the info from YSL on the notes:

It opens with the tender notes of rosebuds that symbolize the morning, enriched with fresh violet and softened with orange blossom.

The tenderness this new composition of dawn continues in the middle note with elegant, full-bloomed rose. Exquisitely paired with petals of jasmine and lily of the valley, the voluptuous rose of May underscores the irresistible femininity of the fragrance.

The bottom note is replete with soft musks accompanied by a sensual sandalwood note that completes the refinement"

Retail is 4.2 oz 55.00 ( a large bottle for that price point)
