EDP · 2020 · unisex

Yves Saint Laurent's Capeline unisex is a 2020 floral eau de parfum that sits comfortably within the house's modern sensibility while keeping a foot in timeless fragrance traditions.

The fragrance opens with bergamot and mandarin orange, establishing a bright and slightly sweet citrus top. The heart shifts into white florals, with lily and neroli taking center stage alongside an unexpected aquatic note that evokes sea water. This marine element prevents the florals from becoming too heady or traditional, giving Capeline a fresh, slightly saline character. The base brings vanilla absolute, vetiver, and white musk together, adding warmth and grounding without overwhelming the delicate floral composition.

Capeline works well for anyone seeking a refined floral that doesn't feel either overly feminine or masculine, making it genuinely versatile for daily wear. It's best suited to spring and summer when the aquatic and citrus elements can shine without competing with heavier seasonal fragrances. Those drawn to balanced white florals with a modern twist should explore The Tactician, The Heirloom, and The Homesteader.

Fragrance Notesbrand verified
Top · 0–30 min
Bergamot
Bergamot
A sun-ripened Italian citrus with a brightness that goes beyond lemon, simultaneously tart, floral, and slightly spicy. It's the defining note of Earl Grey tea and the backbone of countless fresh colognes. Perfumers love it as an opener because it lifts the entire composition without overpowering what follows.
Mandarin Orange
Mandarin Orange
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
Lily
Lily
Grand, creamy, and slightly spicy, Oriental lily (Stargazer, Casablanca) is one of the most powerful natural flowers, with a heady, complex sweetness that fills a room. White lily is softer and more transparent. Both add drama and elegance to floral compositions, though they require careful handling to avoid becoming oppressive.
Neroli
Neroli
Distilled from bitter orange blossoms, neroli sits at the intersection of citrus and floral, bright and slightly waxy, with a honeyed depth that other citrus notes lack. It's one of the most complex natural ingredients in perfumery, simultaneously fresh and rich. A little neroli makes almost any fragrance feel expensive.
Sea Water
Sea Water
Briny, slightly mineral, and faintly ozonic, sea water adds a more literal and organic oceanic quality than abstract aquatic notes. It has a slightly salty heaviness that evokes swimming in the ocean rather than standing on a cliff above it. Used in realistic marine compositions that want genuine saltwater character.
Ylang-Ylang

Base · 3–12 hrs
Vanilla Absolute
Vanilla Absolute
Vetiver
Vetiver
Earthy, smoky, and complex, vetiver root is extracted from a grass native to India and has a scent that is simultaneously rooty, woody, and slightly lemony. It's one of perfumery's great base notes: tenacious, unisex, and endlessly adaptable. A fragrance built around vetiver feels grounded and deeply confident.
White Musk
White Musk
Clean, soft, and slightly soapy, white musk is the scent of fresh laundry and warm skin. It's the furthest from the animalic origins of real musk: approachable, inoffensive, and universally flattering. Almost every mass-market fragrance uses white musk as a base, which is why it reads as 'clean' rather than specifically musky.
