About this fragrance
Written from the structured record above — note pyramid, accord weights, perfumer credit and era.
Launched in 2017, this men's fragrance from Yves Saint-Laurent is a woody aromatic built on a striking contrast of cool freshness and warm depth. The opening is a bracing blend of aldehydes, bergamot, ginger, lemon, and mint—bright, effervescent, and slightly soapy. As it settles, a fruity-floral heart emerges with apple, violet leaf, pineapple, sage, and geranium, adding a crisp green sweetness that keeps the composition lively.
The base turns darker and more resinous: ambergris, musk, cedar, vetiver, balsam fir, and incense create a smoky, earthy foundation that lingers for hours. With main accords of fresh spicy (100%), aromatic (99%), and fresh (95%), this is an assertive yet refined scent. It suits collectors who appreciate a modern, green-tinged woody aromatic with a surprising incense twist. Ideal for daytime wear in cooler months, or evenings when you want a fragrance that balances freshness with quiet intensity. A distinctive, underrated release for those who enjoy complex, layered masculines.

Price ranges are compiled from our own recorded transactions, not from asking prices.
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.
