About this fragrance

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

Yves Saint Laurent's Sir, released in 2017, is a woody aromatic composition that opens with a bracing blend of aldehydes, bergamot, ginger, lemon, and mint. This top accord is sharply fresh and spicy, with aldehydes adding a soapy, effervescent lift that sets a crisp tone. The heart introduces apple, violet leaf, pineapple, sage, and geranium, weaving a green, fruity, and herbal layer that feels both modern and slightly retro. As it settles, the base of ambergris, musk, cedar, vetiver, balsam fir, and incense provides a warm, resinous foundation with a subtle smokiness. The overall effect is clean yet complex, with fresh spicy and aromatic accords dominating. It suits men who appreciate a versatile, office-friendly fragrance that transitions well from day to evening. Collectors of discontinued scents will find Sir a worthy addition for its balanced structure and the way it bridges traditional barbershop elements with contemporary freshness.
