About this fragrance

Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.

Yves Saint Laurent Pour Homme (1971) opens with a bright, bracing citrus accord: lemon, bergamot, and lemon verbena are sharpened by lavender and petitgrain. This is not a soft modern citrus—it is crisp, classic, and immediately invigorating, setting the stage for a complex aromatic heart. Rosemary, geranium, and clary sage bring a green, herbal spiciness, while Brazilian rosewood and carnation add a subtle warmth and depth that keeps the composition from feeling austere.

The base is where this fragrance reveals its vintage character: a sturdy foundation of vetiver, patchouli, and cedar is smoothed by sandalwood, tonka bean, amber, and musk. The result is a dry, woody, and slightly sweet finish that lingers with a refined masculinity. This is a scent for the collector who appreciates traditional French perfumery—a gentleman's fragrance that suits formal occasions, cooler weather, and anyone who values structure over trend. It remains a benchmark of the woody aromatic family.
