Yves Saint Laurent
L'Homme EDT
“The original YSL men's — clean, composed, and criminally underrated next to its flashier siblings.”
A 2006 YSL masculine centered on ginger and violet leaf — co-authored by Flipo, Wargnye, Ropion, and Karagueuzoglou, the founding launch of the YSL L'Homme line. Ginger at the top, a violet leaf heart, settling on a tonka-cedar drydown. A spring daytime fragrance.
