About this fragrance

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

Yves Saint Laurent's 2017 men's release is a Woody Aromatic built on a bright, effervescent opening. Aldehydes, bergamot, ginger, lemon, and mint create a sparkling, almost tonic-like lift. The heart pivots to fruit and green facets: apple, pineapple, violet leaf, sage, and geranium. This is not a sweet fragrance; the fruit is crisp and stem-like, anchored by herbal sage and the cool, slightly metallic violet leaf. The base is where it gains depth: ambergris, musk, cedar, vetiver, balsam fir, and incense. The result is a fresh spicy, aromatic profile that stays green and citrus-forward for hours before settling into a resinous, woody drydown. It suits collectors who appreciate a modern fougère-adjacent structure with a mineral, incense-tinged finish. Best for spring and summer daytime, office, or casual wear. Those who prefer heavy orientals or gourmands may find it too brisk; fans of classic aromatic woods with a contemporary edge will appreciate its clarity and longevity.

中文簡介

呢支2017年男士香水係木質芳香調,開頭以醛、佛手柑、薑、檸檬同薄荷營造清爽氣泡感,好似一杯帶草本嘅柑橘特飲。中調轉向青綠果香:蘋果、菠蘿、紫羅蘭葉、鼠尾草同天竺葵,果味唔甜,反而有種莖葉嘅青澀同微金屬感。基調用龍涎香、麝香、雪松、香根草、冷杉同乳香收尾,帶來樹脂木質嘅餘韻。整體係清新辛辣、芳香主導,適合春夏白天、辦公室或日常用。鍾意現代芳香木質、帶少少焚香礦物感嘅收藏家會欣賞;偏好濃郁東方或美食調嘅人可能會覺得太爽利。

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.
