Few fragrances have left as bold an imprint on the world of fine perfumery as Givenchy Ysatis Eau de Toilette. Launched in 1984 and created by the legendary perfumer Dominique Ropion — the nose behind such iconic creations as Amarige, Flowerbomb, and Portrait of a Lady — Ysatis was introduced as a groundbreaking "floriental," one of the first of its kind in fragrance history. Rich, complex, and unmistakably feminine, it remains a benchmark of 1980s haute parfumerie and a treasured classic in the Givenchy Les Mythiques heritage collection.
The name itself is a fusion of Yseult and Isis — half-woman, half-goddess — and the fragrance lives up to every syllable.
Ysatis opens with a radiant, creamy burst of Sicilian mandarin, ylang-ylang, bergamot, galbanum, orange blossom, aldehydes, and a whisper of coconut — exotic, luminous, and instantly captivating. The heart blooms into a lush, opulent white floral bouquet of tuberose, jasmine, rose, iris, narcissus, and carnation, rich and deeply sensual. The fragrance settles into a warm, earthy, and powerfully complex base of patchouli, oakmoss, sandalwood, amber, vanilla, vetiver, clove, bay rum, civet, and musk — enveloping, long-lasting, and utterly unforgettable.

Ysatis is a fragrance for the woman who commands attention without trying. Its extraordinary depth, above-average longevity, and remarkable sillage make it a true signature scent — one that evolves beautifully on the skin over hours, revealing new facets from the first spray to the final dry-down. Equally suited to an elegant evening out or a confident daytime statement, Ysatis is a high-calorie, unapologetically glamorous fragrance that has earned decades of devotion from women who wear it as their own.
