Yves Saint Laurent 6 Place Saint Sulpice EDP
Description
A composed amber-leather built on labdanum and lavender, dry saffron and a whisper of incense — quietly luxurious rather than loud.
Created by master perfumer Carlos Benaïm for Yves Saint Laurent's Le Vestiaire des Parfums couture line and launched in 2017, 6 Place Saint Sulpice is an oriental-spicy unisex Eau de Parfum named for the address of YSL's first atelier. Reviewers describe it as gorgeously balanced — "the labdanum, leather and saffron feel evenly balanced, so no one note overpowers another" — opening with dry woods and soft incense for a refined, almost intellectual mood.

Translation: a bright bergamot-and-lavender lift settles into a warm, resinous heart of labdanum and clary sage, then dries down to supple leather, tonka and woods. The result reads smooth and grown-up rather than sharp — a smart-casual amber-leather that works far more often than its name might suggest.
Fragrance Pyramid
Top: Bergamot, Saffron
Heart: Labdanum (Rockrose), Clary Sage, Lavender
Base: Leather, Tonka Bean, Woody Notes
Performance
Longevity: Strong — roughly 8–10 hours on skin. Reviewers consistently note "this lasts and lasts."
Sillage: Moderate to strong — it sits fairly close at first but, being a heavy composition, leaves a noticeable scent trail.
Projection: Moderate. Expect an arm's-length bubble rather than a room-filling blast — intimate and refined by design.
Best Occasions & Season
Occasions: Evening and special occasions, though its composed character also dresses up everyday office wear.
Season: Most at home in spring and summer, with enough warmth in the drydown to carry into cooler transitional days.
Gender: Unisex — wearable by anyone drawn to a polished amber-leather.
