L'Homme Yves Saint Laurent design by Jean Nouvel
by Yves Saint Laurent
L'Homme by Yves Saint Laurent, designed by Jean Nouvel, presents a soft, aromatic blend centered around fresh citrus and spicy warmth, with a dominant tonka bean base that adds a sensual, balm-like comfort. The fragrance opens with bright bergamot, lemon, and ginger, introducing a zesty, refreshing character that evolves into a mellow, polished middle with basil, violet leaf, and white pepper — elegant and unobtrusive. The base, anchored by cedar and tonka bean, gives it a warm, slightly sweet, and creamy finish that lingers gently, making it ideal for daily wear. The scent is described as comforting, serene, and romantic by many, with strong personal attachment reported by users, especially those who appreciate its subtle elegance and long-lasting presence, even though some note moderate longevity.
