Rouge Velours

Rouge Velours arrived in 2021 as a unisex chypre floral from Yves Saint Laurent, built around a stark contrast: a single white tea top note that lifts into a heart of rose, jasmine, and pink pepper. The rose is unmistakably the core here, supported by jasmine's sweetness and a peppery bite that keeps things from turning syrupy. As it dries down, patchouli, musk, and vetiver take over, giving the composition its earthy, woody spine.

Collectors who appreciate a modern chypre with a prominent rose will find this compelling, especially if they enjoy scents that balance floral richness with a grounded base. The patchouli is present but not dirty, more of a textured backdrop. It suits someone who wants a rose that feels composed rather than romantic, wearable in cooler weather or evening settings. If you gravitate toward rose-patchouli pairings with a tea-like opening, this is worth seeking out.

2021年推出的Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Velours，是一款中性西普花香調。前調以白茶揭開，清新微澀；中調玫瑰、茉莉與粉紅胡椒交織，玫瑰為主軸，茉莉添甜，胡椒帶來辛香層次；基調廣藿香、麝香與香根草收尾，泥土木質感沉穩。整體玫瑰氣息鮮明，廣藿香不厚重，適合喜歡現代西普、偏好玫瑰與木質平衡的人。秋冬季或晚間使用尤佳，中性氣質，男女皆宜。
