About This Perfume
Yves Saint Laurent L'Homme Eau de Parfum smells like cool lavender with citrus in cedar wood. It opens with bitter orange and bergamot, moves into provençal lavender and geranium and settles on cedarwood, oak barrel and vetiver. It leans masculine, though anyone can wear it.
This eau de parfum is best in spring, fall and winter and is easy to wear day or night. Reach for it for the office. Released in 2022.
Wearers report that it lasts roughly a working morning or afternoon, and projects to about arm's length.

Most-Discussed Yves Saint Laurent Perfumes
Community chatter about Yves Saint Laurent centres on Black Opium, Babycat and Libre.
How the picks are built
Black Opium (Eau de Parfum, 2014) smells like sweet coffee, creamy vanilla, warm floral, starting with orange blossom and pink pepper before vanilla, patchouli and cedar take over. Babycat (Parfum, 2022) reads as warm vanilla suede, smoky pepper and resin, opening on black pepper and elemi resin and drying down to vanilla, suede and cedarwood. Libre (Eau de Parfum, 2019) is described as fresh lavender and orange blossom, creamy vanilla; the opening brings neroli and mandarin orange, and the base settles on bourbon vanilla, musk and ambergris.
