How to choose Yves Saint Laurent perfumes
Do not judge a perfume by the first spray alone. Give it an hour on your skin, then check it again at the end of the day, because the drydown is what people around you will smell most.
When you compare Yves Saint Laurent perfumes, look past the name and check the notes, the longevity score and the concentration. Two bottles in the same style can wear very differently.
How Yves Saint Laurent perfumes perform
In our wear tests, Yves Saint Laurent perfumes score 8.2 out of 10 for longevity on average, which means excellent staying power, often lasting from morning into the night.
Sillage, the trail a perfume leaves behind you, averages 8 out of 10, which points to strong projection that people will notice in a room.
In hot and humid conditions, the same perfumes average 7 out of 10 for longevity. Heat speeds up evaporation, so expect scents to feel stronger at first and fade sooner than in cool, dry air.
If staying power is your priority, start with Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium (8.2/10).
Where to start with Yves Saint Laurent perfumes

Buying tips for Yves Saint Laurent perfumes
Buy from trusted sellers. Genuine perfume should have clean packaging, a batch code and a consistent colour. The retailer links on each page are a good place to start, and prices that look too good to be true usually are.
Store the bottle well. Heat, light and humidity break perfume down, so keep it in its box, in a cool drawer, and away from the bathroom.
Think about your climate. Heat and humidity shorten how long most perfumes last, so check the hot and humid longevity score before you choose a bottle for daily wear.
