L'Homme Yves Saint Laurent design by Jean Nouvel

Launched in 2006 and designed by Jean Nouvel, L'Homme Yves Saint Laurent opens with a bright, spiced citrus accord of ginger, bergamot and lemon. The ginger gives an immediate dry heat that keeps the citrus from turning simple or sweet, making the first minutes feel crisp and modern rather than barbershop-traditional. As it settles, the heart brings violet leaf, basil, white pepper and a general spice blend — green, slightly powdery, and aromatic, with the violet leaf lending a cool, almost metallic edge against the warmth beneath.

The base is where this fragrance becomes wearable and collector-relevant: tonka bean, cedar and Tahitian vetiver build a smooth woody-musk foundation with a soft, nutty sweetness. The overall profile leans fresh-spicy (the dominant accord), supported by citrus, aromatic and warm-spicy facets. It suits men who want a clean, office-friendly scent with more structure than a typical fresh fragrance, and collectors of mid-2000s designer masculines will find it a tidy example of the era's polished woody-floral-musk style. Best for daytime, spring and autumn, and smart-casual wear.

2006 年推出、由 Jean Nouvel 設計的 L'Homme，以生薑、佛手柑與檸檬開場，辛香帶出乾爽明亮的柑橘前調，唔會流於甜膩。中調加入紫羅蘭葉、羅勒、白胡椒與香料，綠意同粉感並存，氣息清爽而帶少許金屬感。基調以零陵香豆、雪松與大溪地香根草收結，木質麝香圓潤，帶淡淡堅果甜意。整體以清新辛香為主，柑橘、芳香與暖辛層層支撐，氣質乾淨俐落，比一般清新男香更有結構。適合上班、日常同 smart-casual 場合，春季秋季最合用；鍾意 2000 年代設計師男香、追求低調木質麝香嘅收藏者會覺得順手。
