Dark & Sensual

How to start..
If you want to get rich in just one night and to be seen around you and give you a feeling of luxury and you don't have a dollar in your pocket, this is the undisputedly awaited perfume.

If you are a fan of the oud note, but it is not the usual strong animal repulsive note, but the light, youthful and elegant oud, which is blended in a professional way, as when adding orris and benzoin with musk, this oud perfume gives a feeling of good narcissism and forgiving vanity, thanks to the right mixing method and the way the notes are arranged in Appearance, emission, and reaction during the day.

Beautiful Stuff, Amazing quality, Strong longevity/sillage

Really masculine, i simply love it !

9,5/10 ! (Because nothing is perfect ;) )

My Personal Gem

YSL 37 is a cherished gem in my perfume collection. (Hard to find these days where i live so i need to be carefull with spraying haha )

The opening is fresh and inviting, while the heart reveals a soft, creamy warmth that wraps around me like a comforting hug. The subtle cedar and white musk add a beautiful depth, which makes it perfect for any occasion, whether I'm at work or enjoying a dinner.

I love how it evolves throughout the day, creating an intimate sillage without overwhelming.
YSL 37 Rue de Bellechasse holds a special place in my collection. If you’re searching for a scent that feels personal and transformative, I cannot recommend it enough!

This one is a Real GADA

Simply beautiful.

From the moment I first smelled this fragrance, I knew I had to add it to my collection. It is an opulent scent that is rich in depth. The combination of oud and incense, accompanied by a beautiful iris, blends it all together perfectly. It is dark and resinous, and simply put, it's beautiful, and bold all while being refined at the same time. I'm not entirely sure how it connects with the old building, but I'm grateful that it has translated into this incredible fragrance. My only wish is that it were more accessible and easier to find. For me, it’s an easy 8.5/9 out of 10 for me.

The Abbey of Penthemont

The Vestaire des Parfums Édition Couture brings together a collection of three woody scents: 6 PLACE SAINT SULPICE, 24 RUE DE L'UNIVERSITÉ, and of course, 37 RUE DE BELLECHASSE.
In the heart of Paris - at the northwest corner of the intersection of Rue de Bellechasse 37 - lies the Abbey of Penthemont, which is now the headquarters of YSL. Overall, the fragrance is meant to represent the atmosphere of this abbey house - and with it, the entrepreneurial spirit of Y. S. Laurent. Everything feels a bit reverent, elevated - almost formal. Just like in an old monastery.

I myself was on the lookout for another iris scent. I love iris for its distinctly clear and honest nature. This time, it was supposed to be dark, suitable for evening wear. This can be quite difficult to find, especially when it is not paired with overwhelming sweetness. Many do that, and I do not like those many. Especially the ones with vanilla often go far beyond any targets and end up in mundane, mass-appeal epics.

Let the iris shine, give it space!

I then found - with the help of Aleyzs during a souk testing - the true dark iris treasure. In general, the souk is still the best opportunity for testing. Thank you all again for that!

Yes, a minimal sweet touch also brushes Rue 37 in the deepest drydown of the night, but it is only a grain of benzoin resin responsible for that. Overall, Rue 37 feels very resinous to me. You can probably imagine quite well what these resins combined with nagarmotha, pepper, incense, and oud result in. Plus a hint of patchouli. What a conglomerate! It smolders reverently-pastoral in these rooms, balsam vapors ground the hidden.
And then - high above in the naves of Penthemont - only one reigns: the iris. Black liquid. Dry white in the twilight.

And it is allowed to shine, spreading its wings over everything and everyone in this former abbey and tells you: Everything is good!

Thanks to TahaScents. Wishing you a healthy 2021!

Perfect Contrasts

I have thought long about which fragrance to write my first review for. When I recently bought this scent, it became clear to me.
I am a very big fan of iris, and the Dior Homme line has been my favorite fragrance line for a long time.
What makes Rue de Bellechasse so special for me? I have a picture in my mind:
A large dark room in an old manor house. Noble furniture, lots of dark wood, heavy curtains in front of the large windows, and a bowl with partially burned incense in one corner. The room radiates wealth, tranquility, but also something dark. On a table illuminated by a sunbeam that falls through the gap in the curtains, however, there is a flower. Delicate, bright, beautiful. It is this interplay that makes the fragrance so special for me. Oud, patchouli, and resins create a deep woody, slightly smoky scene. Noble but also somewhat decadent/dirty. The iris rises from this, however, very bright and slightly powdery. This creates, in my opinion, a heavy, rather masculine scent with a twist that makes it so attractive and perfect.
An absolutely unique creation that I no longer want to be without!

There was potential for a masterpiece... but if falls apart in the middle. A beautiful opening, though, and oud + orris used v. cleverly.

One of the best fragrances I've smelled so far. I'm surprised it's not so hyped up like others (Babycat). Beats DHI as a daily iris frag

Iris buttery, dense and resinous. It has vibes like Harmonious by Boadicea, but more elegant French Perfumery

Smart Tête-à-Tête:
gentle powdery iris & peppery incense,
herbaceous juniper tips & sweet resinous musk.
Very Chic YSL!

A warm-spicy cuddle of the highest class, buttery soft and extremely balanced, iris at its best, mild smoke, balsamic woodiness, great.

You’ll probably think I’m crazy now -
it reminds me of "L'Insomnuit"
without the tonka-plum sweetness ;)
A beauty with
iris-wood-smoke-musk!
Lovely :)
