Perfume as art form! From the daring designer who worked his way from assistant to Christian Dior at age 17 to the legendary fashion father of the Swinging Sixties—haute peasant, safari jackets, thigh-high boots, and tuxedo suits for women—emerges the refined collection of YSL perfumes. Perfume that has endured the test of time. As elegant as the designer's fashion and as modern as its discriminating electronic nose, hits include Opium, YSL, Rive Gauche, Koros, Cinema and M7. Matched only by Saint Laurent's boyhood promise to himself, "One day you'll be famous."
There aren't many masculine types of cologne which project at a more confident and graceful pitches: beautiful, understated, crisply arid and expansively rich, this one is a class act in a bottle and a classic to be discovered by younger generations. Yves Saint Laurent pour Homme, embodying everything that the acclaimed French designer thought about great style, distinguishes the men from the boys, but it's not your dad's Old Spice, even though it's no rookie itself, hailing from 1971. The sharp aromatic blast of the opening stage, herbal and dry, with an impression of the French countryside smelled on a crisp autumn day, gives way to a sustained sensual note of woods and patchouli, mossy; clean, almost reminiscent of soap and nostalgic barber shops. Bold without being brash, Pour Homme by Yves Saint Laurent is encased in the simplest of packages because it says everything it has to say with its masterful contents, like a man of few well-chosen words. Perfect for formal situations and serious business meetings, it will successfully re-affirm your status and natural elegance.
