Yohji by Yohji Yamamoto

I adore Yohji. Not so much opening notes, too sharp and bright, but the next stage when cumin from the base + red fruits take over. I adore cumin (not included in the notes above, but it is there), smell of a clean man`s sweat. Red fruits note is similar to one in Montana, very dense. Yohji is very tenacious and strong. Not everyones cup of tea, I guess. Too bad it is discontinued, good that I have 3 bottles in my Personal Reserve.

One of my absolutely favorite fragrances ...
I love the complexity ...
I agree with F_A...
very warm, light and heavy at the same time, spicy and sweet fragrance.smoke of incenses....

Could a fragrance actually convey a color..??
Yohji for me is the color of Indigo!
a unique color ..much like this fragrance

* In line with the other colors of the 'purple family,' indigo was also a color of nobility and aristocracy. In the Elizabethan times, People of distinction and class only were allowed to wear this color. '
* In chromotherapy índigo assumes narcotic properties, eliminating the fear of darkness as well as to treat certain mental and emotional disorders.
* According to Hinduism -
Indigo is the color associated with the The Third Eye Chakra is located in the center of the head behind your eyebrows. This Chakra is related to our ability to perceive clearly. Intuition, insight, and imagination are also associated with this Chakra.

Somehow ...Yohji
manages to convey all of
Indigo's Unique Color Meaning and Symbolisms as a Fragrance...

Amazingly it makes me feel distinctive and rich..
there is a narcotic thrill in its complex smell...like Rebella said ..."make my heart pound a little harder"
and yet I utterly feel incredibly at peace with myself...

This is a Fragrance that demands be experienced .. not just smelled!

MaddyRain's description is very precise!
I have nothing to add except that the design of the bottle is very minimal and special..
it has something I've never seen before..
On the top of the bottle there is something like a protruding spot of glass..
According to mister Yohji Yamamoto this spot separates the orginal Yohji from a fake one!
Isn't it brilliant???

This is a big WOW amongst perfumes. Just like his clothes. Absolutely magical, though totally ripping off your finances (50 ml costs around £120):/

I can't believe this has been discontinued, my friend first introduced this to me many years ago, when i smell the last few drops of this bottle, it brings happy memories. If it ever come's out again i'll be first in the queue!

I am -almost- speachless. This could very well be the most unique perfume I´ve encountered... Absolutly adorable, stunning and make my heart pound a little harder. How does it smell? As F_A write below, it is filled with complexity and opposites. Very hard to describe... This is a perfume you must really experience. If you ever come across the chanse to smell Yohji, close your eyes, inhale and feel how a big smile is painted on your lips... and your body tangle with well-being.

It is impossible to belive why this perfume is discontinued!?

Did I say I was speachless? Oh, you know me I love babbling about perfumes, but there isn´t likely my words can do this magic potion justice. Cause magic it is, it is unique and still I can smell a lot of similarities to many of my favourite perfumes in it, just to discover that they are gone and back again over and over again.

It could be a perfume for angels, if it was possible to make perfume from stardust and diamonds and the rainbow, maybe it would smell almost as good as Yohji!

Thank you again F_A! It get straight up on top of my big bottle list! Surely we must get this one back in production as well?

I´m sorry folks, I am aware of my poor ability to describe how the actual perfume smell... But it could very well be one of the most beautiful perfumes ever! Love it madly!

Extremely rare but I had the chance to swap one of my perfumes for this gem.

Yohji Femme has a really strong and heavy start. It begins with extremely synthetic green notes and it reminds me of some kind of hair spray. These green and strange notes soon fade away and then you start to feel its red-fruity portion, mainly the raspberry note.

This stage lasts quite long in my skin and the final movement of this lovely fragrance is a really warm, confortable and inviting combination of red fruits, vanilla and woods.

Although it's labelled as a female fragrance, men can wear it without any serious problem, but I'm pretty sure not everyone will like this. It's that kind of love-or-hate perfumes.

It works great for a night in the club or a working day, but due to its hard to find condition, I tend to preserve it for some special occasions.

Highly recommended, if you can find it for a reasonable price.

It's my favourite!!! But now I' finishing and I'm desperate. It was able to create "something more" in special occasion...

I really love this fragrance, and I wish I could find it anywhere online, but it seems only to be the essencial that I can get...anyone know where I can find this?

dannynguy3n

This is one of my favourites. It has a very different smell, kind of strange but in a good way.

This is absolutely my No.1!!Unfortunatelly, it is almost "a mission impossible" to buy this fragrance nowadays as it is not in production anymore. It's a very warm, light and heavy at the same time, spicy and sweet fragrance. It's like you've entered a room with smoke of incenses, where someone has just chopped the citrus fruits (though their are not in the pyramid of notes). The fragrance is full of incomapatabilities - filled with energy and quietness, dark smoke and sunny summer day, good and bad in the bottle. It's incomparable to anything i've ever smelled. It is my No.1!!!
