base notes
Magical floral fragrance. Ysatis woman is smart, emotional and distinct. Elegant bottle matches the opulent fragrance that smells like luxury. The top notes are citrus, ylang-ylang, galbanum, coconut, rose wood, and aldehydes. The heart notes are jasmine, rose, iris, tuberose and narcissus. The base notes are musk, amber, vanilla, vetiver, patchouli, sandal wood and civet. The fragrance was created by Dominique Ropion in 1984.

Classic, beautiful, undated. A bit strong for a warm day but spicy delicious for a cooler evening. Not for youngsters being more suitable to women of elegance. Basically, it is a quartet of woody, floral, fruity and spicy scents - a dangerous liaison indeed. A little goes a long way and you will be knocked out when the base notes kick in - delicious!

Graceful, feminine and defines Givenchy for me. It was not the first, yet I would say the best. Upon introduction, it became very popular, then not. Now I rarely smell it on ladies. Thats a shame, because it is strong, yet light, sensitive and obvious. Fortunately, no one tried to copy it. It remains in a class all by itself.

There is something going on with the chypre-self confidence that everybody seems to agree on.This is a lucky charm for me that every evening I had it sprayed on turned out to be a special one.
Ysatis is warm,woodsy,intoxicating and yet balanced because of the tangerine on the top.Just the right amount of aldehydes.Laurel will make you feel wise like the priestess of an ancient temple.
This is not a "sleepy" oriental.
It is empowering.

I love this spicy oriental perfume, complex and exotique; a lovely blend of flowers and aromatic woods.
If you want to feel like a goddess. this is for you.

I love this scent; it's not dated at all - it's a classic. It's the only scent I've ever worn that I consistently get compliments on every time I wear it. It makes me feel sexy and confident.

Oh! a special favourite with lovely memories. I went through the late 80's absolutely adoring this scent. I currently don't wear it, but still remember how much I used to love it.

it's oriental and strong , i don't like strong perfumes but this one remains on skin very nice ...elegant
03/15/09 04:15:46
This is a romantic, feminine, spicy oriental scent, recommended for evening wear.

I was really open to smell one of the best perfumes I've ever smelled according to your nice reviews.but what can I say...
I didn't like it.just classic like so many other ones.the worst part about it is the middle notes.don't call me foul,but it smells like piss!
I should confess the long lasting power is very good.maybe the only thing that is good in this fragrance.

What a heady, lush and ladylike chypre scent! It is definitely okay for special occasions, but not for casual wear. I also think that it is more a mature woman's appeal. (Though there is a 'light' version in existence, called Ysatis Iris.)
It is very much memorable just like most Givenchy fragrances. You are bound to make an impression with this one!

Here is the smell of a true woman!
This fragrance is so well made. The Jasmine, and the woods blend so well ,that become one.I also love the coconut at the top notes (which lasts a lot on me). Very clean and spicy smell, suitable for almost any age, for almost any circumstance.
A marvelous self confidence booster.

I suspect it's my body chemistry, but the base smacks of that old lady house scent sans mothballs. The top note is very alluring, unfortunately it doesn't last long enough. It would be a keeper otherwise.
12/24/08 21:56:58
So very 80's to me. I wanted to yell 'time-out!', but instead I got knocked-out (ha, sorry for pun:). It's strong and heavy flowery scent that feels so very concentrated that it almost rubs my nose. not my type

Ysatis, that's a sensous woman, charming, wearing elegant clothes, black and purple could be her favourite colours - she is self-confident. Ysatis is utterly refined, it represents harmony and emphazises femininity. Classisism, Paris, Haute couture - a perfume following a great tradition - so much better than the current fruity-florals...

Years ago I've thought Ysatis is the worst parfum I've ever smelt, but now it is my favourite floral one. Very special, not for every day or case.
11/19/08 10:46:54
This is my most favorite scent in the world. I have been using it for 20 years, I still try others, but I can't stop wearing this. It makes me feel like a princess. Some people hate it, but I like the way I feel when I spray this. It makes me feel rich and beautiful. There are so many combos in this perfume, I can't smell them all, but it dies down to a nice soft combination of vanilla, Oakmoss and vetiver. I just have never found anything that could take it's place.

This perfume can be a bit loud, but it is a beautiful fragrance that smells 'expensive' if there is such a thing. It has incredible staying power and, to my nose, doesn't smell like a lot of other perfumes. It's unique and a perfume I get compliments on when I wear it.
10/10/08 06:19:57
Very intense, elegant.
One type of femininity calm and strong. Deep notes of sandalwood. Unforgettable scent
For a distinguished woman
At damp afternoons and fresh nights it shows and increases its potential up

Loved this wore it for years!Need to get it again! Sweeter than most but very sexy and has depth warmth!

I'm not that much into spicy oriental fragrances but Ysatis is an exception to the rule. It was one of my favourites at the end of the 80's, and I still like it. There's something very unique and elegant in it.
09/16/08 05:10:38
Best fragrance ever, love it from the beginning and it is stil everyday awesome!
09/12/08 10:21:48
This is my favorite perfume. It smells as close to my perception of a true Princess would smell like. I first smelled this perfume when I was 20. A woman sprayed it on and I had to know what it was. I have been using it for 20 years now. I LOVE it. It may be overpowering on some, so on hot summer days I spray it in the air and walk through the mist.

This parfume has so many things going on, it's rich, spicy, oriental, floral, do I say it's rich :)? And it's beautiful and womanly in a proud way. Eighties at it's best.
I do have this one in pure parfume form, and it's even more rich and soft in it's busy way than a edt or edp. Highly suitable for special events or nights you just feel like a queen, and want to be treated like queens do.

Richly animalic oriental chypre, almost too full of wonderfullness! I'd compare it to Dioressence in this respect, the latter being maybe a little less plush and thus more elegant.

I`ve got Ysatis today! It`s so wonderful I remember it from 1994, when my friend`s mother bring it from foreign countries (a little sample). Today it seems to me oriental, sweet very feminine and sexy. I smell ylang - ylang and honey in it! It makes me happy today!

Absolutely love, love, love this perfume!!
My mother in law brought some back from Paris as a gift to me back around 1985 before it was available in the States...I have been wearing it ever since--almost exclusively! It is my signature scent. I always have to buy it online however these days, Macy's does not carry it in the stores, but they do carry other Givenchy fragrances.
