by Yves Saint Laurent
Cinéma Eau de Toilette by Yves Saint Laurent is a radiant, warm floral amber vanilla fragrance with a distinctive air of classic Hollywood glamour. It opens with a bright burst of clementine, cyclamen, and mimosa, lending a playful elegance that evolves into a soft, sensual cloud of jasmine, peony, and bourbon vanilla. The amber base gives it a rich, oily depth, creating a subtly sweet, dry-down reminiscent of golden amber and warm musk. Though styled as an EDT, its longevity and sillage exceed typical expectations — lasting well over 10 hours on skin and projecting with moderate to strong presence. The fragrance feels polished and mature, with a theatrical, stage-worthy character that transforms ordinary moments into special ones. It is most suited for autumn and winter, ideal for evening wear and occasions where a dramatic, confident presence is desired. Despite some comments noting a medicinal or mild sharpness in the initial phase, the overall effect is warm and luminous — a sophisticated companion for the modern woman who embraces elegance without excess.
