Rate this fragrance

This powerful, masculine fragrance projects a polarizing and distinctive aura. A crisp, soapy opening of bright aldehydes and aromatic coriander swiftly transitions into a complex heart of dense spices and florals, ultimately resolving into a warm, intensely animalic base driven by rich honey, civet, and leather.

About Yves Saint Laurent

Yves Saint Laurent fragrances translate the French fashion house’s sharp elegance, sensuality, and rebellious glamour into major designer signatures. Opium and Kouros reflect the brand’s bold historical side, while Black Opium reshaped its modern identity through coffee, vanilla, pear, and white flowers. Libre pairs lavender with orange blossom and musk for a confident feminine pillar, and the men’s range includes L’Homme, La Nuit de L’Homme, Y, and MYSLF, moving through cardamom, cedar, tonka, sage, apple, woods, and clean musk. YSL is best for polished luxury with strong recognition, seductive warmth, and a fashionable edge.
