Austin Butler Leads YSL Beauty’s MYSLF Intense Campaign Ahead of May 15 U.S. Launch

The Mexico City–shot spot uses Butler’s own dancing to present a warmer woody‑musk take on YSL’s MYSLF line.

Overview

  • Austin Butler returns as the face of YSL Beauty’s MYSLF franchise in a new MYSLF Eau de Toilette Intense campaign titled Dancing with MYSLF.
  • The film was shot in Mexico City with director Romain Gavras, and it centers on movement rather than a traditional high‑drama perfume ad.
  • Butler performs all the dancing himself and says years of Elvis movement training helped him feel freer and less self‑conscious on set.
  • The scent is pitched as a darker, warmer evolution of MYSLF described as a woody‑musk with orange blossom, musk and wood notes.
  • Choreographer Damien Jalet shaped the movement to a remix of Billy Idol’s Dancing with Myself, as the campaign builds on Butler’s rising profile and upcoming roles in a Miami Vice reboot with Michael B. Jordan and a Lance Armstrong biopic.
