THE OLFACTION
Inspired by YSL’s sleek, empowering pea coat, CABAN reveals the innate elegance and sophistication of a simple olfactory shape, built around warm, lush tonka bean absolute. Precision-tailored by the Master Perfumer Carlos Benaïm, the precious material’s almond, caramel, hay and tobacco facets define an olfactory silhouette as assertive yet cozy as the sailor’s woolen coat.
Run through with boldly woody tones, this fascinating tonka is textured with bright spices. Airy, fresh, and electric with a fruity facet, pink pepper absolute reflects light like carved golden buttons on a couture YSL caban. Tactile and sleekly sophisticated, CABAN embodies a modern look with a raw yet enveloping impact.
THE INSPIRATION
It was the very first piece Yves Saint Laurent presented under his name, in 1962. Opening his fashion show, worn with white shantung pants and mules, the thick wool double-breasted overcoat worn by sailors to ward off the cold and the rain -- the caban, or pea coat – was reinvented as a couture garment. And paved the way for Yves Saint Laurent’s signature style, which borrowed from menswear to make women feel comfortable and confident. Turning the simplicity of a practical garment into the ultimate form of refinement, YSL’s caban has shown its range throughout the years, asserting a marine-inspired look or nonchalantly worn over a sleek cream satin gown… The Caban is more than just a single garment; it's a symbol of the YSL style, its clean lines and structured shape contributed to the distinctive YSL timelessly sophisticated silhouette.
