About this fragrance

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

Launched in 2017, YSL Saint Laurent red is a woody aromatic for men that opens with a sharp, effervescent blend of aldehydes, bergamot, ginger, lemon, and mint. This top layer is bright and slightly soapy, with a cooling spice that sets a brisk, energetic tone. The heart shifts to a fruitier, greener character: apple and pineapple lend a juicy sweetness, while violet leaf, sage, and geranium add a crisp, herbal freshness. It's a transitional phase that feels both modern and slightly retro.

The base is where the fragrance settles into its warmer, more serious self: ambergris and musk provide a soft, skin-like depth, cedar and vetiver add dry, earthy structure, and balsam fir and incense introduce a subtle smokiness. With main accords of fresh spicy, aromatic, and fresh, it's best suited to daytime wear in spring or summer, or for collectors who enjoy classic aromatic fougères with a fruity twist. It suits men who want a versatile, office-friendly scent that still has character.
