Its name evokes the Orient in what is more subversive but also the lush landscapes of distant lands that make you dream. Its bottle is inspired by the inro, a wooden case in which the Japanese samurai kept their opium. Yves Saint Laurent then had to hold on so that this perfume, provoking in more than one way, be born.
