About this fragrance

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

Live Jazz by Yves Saint Laurent, launched in 1998, is an aromatic fougère that opens with a bracing trio of mint, grapefruit, and lemon. The mint is prominent, lending a cool, almost icy freshness that cuts through the citrus. As it settles, the heart reveals coriander and rhubarb—an unusual pairing that adds a green, slightly tart spiciness. The base is a warm blend of amber, cedar, nutmeg, and vanilla, providing a soft, woody-spicy foundation that lingers close to the skin.

This fragrance suits men who appreciate classic fougères with a modern twist. It's versatile enough for daytime wear, especially in spring and summer, but the base notes give it enough depth for evening. Collectors of 90s designer scents will find Live Jazz a worthy addition, particularly if they enjoy fresh, aromatic compositions with a subtle spicy edge. The balance between the cool top notes and the warm base makes it a refined choice for those who prefer understated elegance over loud projection.

中文簡介

Live Jazz 由 Yves Saint Laurent 於 1998 年推出,屬芳香蕨類香調。前調以薄荷、葡萄柚和檸檬開場,薄荷的冰涼感突出,與柑橘的清新相互輝映。中調加入芫荽和大黃,帶來獨特的綠意與微酸辛香。基調則以琥珀、雪松、肉荳蔻和香草收尾,散發溫暖的木質辛香,貼膚而持久。

此香適合喜愛經典蕨類香調但追求現代感的男士。日常或辦公場合皆宜,春夏季節尤其清爽,而基調的深度也勝任晚間使用。對於收藏 90 年代設計師香水的愛好者來說,Live Jazz 是值得考慮的選擇,尤其適合偏愛清新芳香、帶點辛辣層次的人。整體氣質低調優雅,不張揚。

Before you buy

A batch code cannot prove authenticity on its own, but it can expose contradictions — a code that decodes to a date before the fragrance existed, or a bottle and box that disagree.
