Yohji Homme

A delicate fragrance of cedarwood redolent of the designer's freshly-sharpened pencils, along with a hint of sandalwood.A trace of cinnamon, adding spice and conjuring up exotic forests.A hint of liquorice, evoking not just the natural root but the sweets you ate as a child, a smell of leather and a dash of rum.A faint scent recalling the rich aroma of roasting coffee beans on the breeze.

A fragrance of elegant simplicity, a chypre and floral blend, sometimes bold, sometimes serene.The fragrance opens with delicate notes of chamomille extract, linden leaves and galbanum resin.This accord is reinforced by an original blend of natural ingredients, sandalwood, patchouli branches, iris root and a hint of amber of plant origin, which gives the fragrance its haunting, sensual aura.Especially tangy, delicious notes of red berries, raspberry tea and pink grapefruit add a sparkling, light-hearted touch. A bouquet of white flowers, including freesia, lily of the valley, jasmin and ylang-ylang enriched with musk and white rose gives Yohji Essential sublime softness and feminity that exquisitely counterpoint the unusual, tangy top notes.

This unusual yet somehow familiar fragrance opens on a forthright, reassuringly warm, amber note.Contemporary and mysterious, it reveals itself gradually, taking on its full amplitude only when worn on the skin.Defying the classic pyramid structure, the fragrance unfolds in two stages.The vibrant overture of green notes, galbanum, linalol and bergamot soars above a slightly floral-praline-fruity (raspberry) parenthesis and then descends to expand on a base of vanilla, sandalwood, musk and coumarin.
