About this fragrance

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

Launched in 2017, YSL Saint Laurent Classic is a woody aromatic masculine that opens with a bracing cocktail of aldehydes, bergamot, ginger, lemon, and mint. The top is sharp and effervescent, with ginger adding a lively spice that cuts through the citrus. As it settles, the heart reveals an unexpected fruity-green accord: apple, pineapple, and violet leaf intertwine with sage and geranium, creating a crisp, slightly sweet facet that keeps the composition vibrant.

The base grounds the scent with ambergris, musk, cedar, vetiver, balsam fir, and incense. This dry, resinous foundation adds depth and a subtle smokiness, ensuring longevity without heaviness. The overall profile is fresh spicy (100%) and aromatic (99%), with citrus and green nuances. It suits collectors who appreciate a modern, versatile masculine that transitions from office to evening. Ideal for spring and summer, or anytime a clean, energetic signature is desired.
