About this fragrance

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

Launched in 2017, this eponymous men's scent from Yves Saint Laurent is a Woody Aromatic built on a crisp, effervescent opening. Aldehydes and bergamot lead, sharpened by ginger, lemon, and a cool mint accent. The heart shifts green and fruity: apple and pineapple meet violet leaf, sage, and geranium, creating a lively, aromatic core. The base grounds things with ambergris, musk, cedar, vetiver, balsam fir, and incense, adding a resinous, woody depth that lingers.

Collectors who appreciate fresh spicy and aromatic profiles will find this a versatile daily wear, especially for spring and summer. Its green and fruity facets make it approachable, while the incense and balsam fir in the base give it a subtle, mature edge. It suits those who want a modern, clean signature that still carries a hint of classic barbershop character. The balance of citrus, spice, and woods makes it an easy reach for office or casual settings, and its discontinued status adds appeal for those building a YSL collection.
