Le Vestiaire Des Parfums - Capeline

A COUTURE ICON

Sophisticated grandeur with a mysterious edge, the ‘capeline’ is the refined wide-brimmed hat that sailed from catwalks and garden parties to the glamorous haunts of chic Bohemians in the 1960s - an epitome of Parisian elegance. Throughout his work, Yves Saint Laurent played on paradox of the ‘capeline’: a nonchalant way of going incognito yet the most couture of accessories, lending poise and flamboyance to his creations. Capeline Eau de Parfum encapsulates the enigmatic attitude of its namesake accessory. A sophisticated yet mysterious scent, it interplays between the stately beauty of lily, behind which hides vanilla absolute - warm and smooth, with the merest touch of leather. Lily was Yves Saint Laurent’s beloved lucky-charm, given that its name in French, ‘lys’, forms an anagram of the couturier’s initials.
