Le Vestiaire des Parfums Capeline Eau de Parfum Top notes: Bergamot essence, mandarin essence, pink pepper Heart notes: Lily flower accord, neroli essence, ylang-ylang accord Base notes: Vetiver essence, vanilla extract, musk Key note: Vanilla accord Capeline is an exquisite wide-brimmed hat that transitioned from runway shows and garden parties into the glamorous realm of bohemian chic in the 1960s. A true emblem of Parisian elegance. Throughout his career, Yves Saint Laurent played with the paradox of the Capeline hat: a casually mysterious way to stay incognito, yet the most couture of accessories—bringing both balance and brilliance to his creations. Capeline Eau de Parfum embodies the mysterious nature of the capeline. A refined yet enigmatic scent—balancing the elegant strength of lily with the carefree sensuality of vanilla. Lily was one of Yves Saint Laurent’s favorite emblems, as its French name is an anagram of his initials. Behind its majestic beauty lies a smooth, warm vanilla absolute with a hint of leather. To evoke the matte, dark felt of the hat itself, Capeline takes on an ashen grey tone—encased in a transparent architectural bottle topped with a textured black cap that mirrors the grainy “grain de poudre” fabric used in Monsieur Saint Laurent’s iconic tuxedos.
