Scandal and success, was the title of an article by Adnkronos in 1993 in the period of the release of Champagne, the most talked about perfume of that year
and perhaps of all the 90s. now the legal dispute has arisen between Sanofi (owner of Yves Saint Laurent at the time) and champagne producers Lanson and Moet-et-Chandon. Perhaps few remember that YSL threatened to remove its new perfume from the market by unleashing a purchase rush in France, which made the perfume a collector's item, and immediately sold out. other products if
there is no risk of confusion. ''Nobody will drink our perfume, even if it is sold in a bottle shaped like a champagne cork. '' The wine producers got the better of the court while Yves Saint Laurent lost the legal dispute, was
forced to change the name: he passed First from Champagne to Yves Saint Laurent and later in 1996 to Yvresse.
The reference to the drink par excellence and the creation of a sweet and effervescent perfume had created such a
magic that it was enough to change its name to make it less attractive product.The slogan used to advertise the perfume read: Champagne the perfume of success; a slogan that sought to
link the successful status of career women with a fragrance as intoxicating and effervescent as a glass of champagne. The designer had thought of a perfume for light, happy and sparkling women. The design of the bottle itself
is inspired by the cap of champagne with its metal cage, as the
fragrance itself tries to convey the effervescence and notes typical of the drink par excellence. The fragrance is fruity, sweet, with green accents, talc; a complex but well balanced, timeless perfume.Yvresse and
Champagne differ only by name and packaging as well as by price, the fregrance is the same.The
difference in price lies in the fact that the production of champagne was much less of yvresse which makes it
rarer, moreover it is much more coveted by collectors for the history it brings with it.The champagne formats are for eau de toilette: 7.5ml 20ml, 50ml, 100ml, 500ml for parfum extrait: 7 , 5ml, 30mlThe nose of the
fragrance is Sophia Grojsman.The composition: Top notes are Peach, Nectarine, Apricot, Caraway, Anise and Mint;
middle notes are Cinnamon, Lychee,
Rose, Rose Oil, Carnation, Violet , Iris,
Jasmine and Lily of the Valley; base notes are Oakmoss, Amber, Benzoin, Patchouli, Vanilla,
Styrax, Cedar, Musk, Coconut and Vetiver. the composition: Champagne ranks among the perfumes to have absolutely in
a collection both for historical value and for the uniqueness of fragrance and bottle, In the photos below you can
see the 500ml version in the hands of Yves Saint Laurent and some photos of the bottle of my private collection; as you
can see from the bottle and the box the word champagne is missing which shows us that the production took place after the sentence and
in any case before 1996. You will also find the link to the original spot and the advertising poster. Until next time ---- > This is it
