Coeur is a tribute to the house’s good-luck talisman: the Coeur Fétiche.
Born from M. Saint Laurent’s childhood and his first declaration of love, this iconic heart-shaped jewel, first crafted in 1961 in diamonds and rubies, was worn by his dearest muses on every catwalk from his first collection in 1962 to his final presentation in 2002.
A fetish scent for a fetish heart, Coeur is embodied by the smoky gourmandise of sacred amber complemented by the sensual warmth of myrrh and labdanum, and contrasted by the incisive coolness of Aldehydes.

How to use:
For light intensity: spray in a cloud around your head and shoulders, let the fragrance fall gently around you.
For medium intensity: spray in a Y-shape across your body, beginning at one shoulder and finishing at the other. If you are wearing jewellery, it is a great alternative to spraying your neck.
For added intensity: apply perfume directly to your pulse points and/or hot spots (wrist, inner elbow and lower neck). Here, the heat of your body will allow the fragrance to reveal its full trail. Include shoulders and back to intensify your perfume trail.
