After working for Christian Dior in the 1950s, Yves Saint Laurent launched his own fashion house in 1962 and began a prolific and visionary contribution to the world of fashion and fragrance. Classic and ground-breaking, Yves Saint Laurent fragrances span every perfume genre, from the first fragrance, Y in 1964 to the iconic Rive Gauche, once-scandalous Opium, era-defining Kouros and the youthful Elle and Baby Doll.
