Yves Saint Laurent Cinéma Eau de Parfum is a feminine floral-gourmand that pairs the fresh opening of almond, clementine and cyclamen with the sweet, powdery warmth of jasmine sambac, amaryllis and vanilla.

What does Cinéma (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

Cinéma has been discontinued. Most voters find it feminine, and autumn and winter lead, with spring close behind. Evening, daily and leisure wear are nearly even. Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate.

It opens with almond and clementine, a citrusy, lightly fruity freshness softened by cyclamen. Toward the heart, jasmine sambac and amaryllis add a floral body. In the dry-down, vanilla, amber and white musk come forward, turning the scent sweet, creamy and powdery. Spicy and oriental touches stay in the background.
