Composition
Cinema by Yves Saint Laurent is a captivating fragrance featuring floral, sweet, ambery accords. It opens with Clementine, Almond, transitions to a heart of Jasmine, Peony, and settles into a base of Vanilla, Amber. A timeless creation for the modern connoisseur.
To me it smells like a vintage cinema hall just before the lights go down. Clementine and almond open it — bright, a little powdery, like the first frames of an old film — and then jasmine and peony bloom through the velvet dark, soft and romantic. Vanilla, amber and musk warm everything into a golden glow, the smell of anticipation and someone else's perfume mixing in the next seat. It is nostalgic without being old, glamorous without trying. A love letter to going out. Easy to love, even for beginners.
