New Perfumes for the Holidays:

The international designer brand Yves Saint Laurent is launching two new perfumes for men and women.

For women: LIBRE FLOWERS & FLAMES. This new perfume, crafted by Ann Flippo and Carlos Ben-Naim, is a fresh, anti-conformist floral burst showcasing a Desert Lily Accord, created exclusively for Yves Saint Laurent’s beauty division. It's a fiery and bold tribute to Yves Saint Laurent's flower.

The Desert Lily Accord, highlighted by its white floral siblings—tuberose and orange blossom—makes Libre Flowers & Flames the most radiant feminine interpretation of Yves Saint Laurent’s iconic aromatic-floral fragrances.

For men: The radical new icon from Yves Saint Laurent: MYSLF LE PARFUM.

This new perfume is radically bold, inherently contradictory, and unapologetic about its nuances. It is a new floral-woody statement born from the unexpected meeting of sophisticated floral notes and intense woods, enhanced by a velvety vanilla infusion for a new sensual amber trail. Alive and intense, the fragrance opens with a bite of black pepper—spicy, "wild and primal," in Daniela Andrier’s words.

A multi-faceted cocktail of spices—sweet cinnamon warmth, black pepper’s bite, green spicy cardamom—reinforces the green bergamot associated with Myslf.

This sparkling quality of bergamot, influential and striking, is crafted to capture the vitality of the fruit at harvest time.

Recommended Retail Price: NIS 549 for 100 ml.

Available at: Super-Pharm chains, Hamashbir Latzarchan, BE, April, and select perfumeries.

The Parisian brand Floraïku presents a new creation with a sophisticated composition of woody citrus notes that are boundary-free and break conventions. The 'Rebirth of Youth' scent creates a classic trail enriched with a unique style. "Boyish, the vegetal notes don a new guise with the power of wood.

Deep-textured woody notes and smoky earthy hues from the essence of Tibetan root envelop the floral heart, giving the composition a new woody identity." The denim-colored bandana with its iconic droplet motif adorns the bottleneck—a timeless fashion item beloved by men and women worldwide.

The youthful fragrance, an accessory to the bandana and denim, leads beauty to new places and boasts flowers that play on duality. The playful citrus fruit hides woody elegance. Its name, a nod to fashion shows, leads us to the golden runway light.

The composition, driven by its couture nature, steps outside the gender box, revealing bold top notes of bergamot essence, an elegant powdery iris heart, and a trail of glowing, spiced vetiver.

Price: NIS 1180 for 50 ml Eau de Parfum + 10 ml

Available at: BEYONDSKIN boutiques at the Ramat Aviv Mall (second floor) and the Golden Mall, Rishon Lezion (ground floor, Youth Avenue), and select stores.
