Yohji Homme Yohji Yamamoto for men

After reading some good reviews, I hunted for this and eventually managed to get one.

Ok my honest opinion:

Yohji homme smells really good BUT only within the first hour. As pointed out by Heverton, the citrus and coffee notes fades out really fast and to me, it also takes out a huge amount of spice, licorice along with it and what's left is just a very bland, boring scent with some traces of cinnamon.

Either this fragrance is overrated or this bottle has a really bad juice. Longevity is great but projection, after an hour, stays very close to the skin, very close.

i have a bottle 1.7 50ml,brand new sealed,of yohji homme.please pm me if youre intersted

This is a blast from the past. I once bought this on a trip to London in Liberty's 2001. I remember it was very different and unique compared to others I owned around that time. The anise and woods were very striking and strong. I would love to own this again, but I can't find it anywhere. The prices on eBay are ridiculous.

Yohji Homme starts out with a citrus blast accompanied by a coffee smell that fades out real fast. Trough time, as the fragrance goes on, the rum appears mixed with the star anise, giving a particular sweet smell. Overall a good light scent that stays on the skin for actually a long time.

When I bought this cologne shortly after it was released, I could not compare it to anything I had previously worn. This is not your garden variety cologne, it stands out. Think coffee and leather, the aroma of very good coffee mingling with the smell of rich leather upholstery, classy and warm, great evening fragrance.

Yohji Homme by Yohji Yamamoto

The good: Yohji Homme is crème brûlée of the fragrance world. It pushed the boundaries of fragrance classification, and much more. A dignified and unique answer to Annick Menardo's brilliant Lolita Lempicka, Yohji Homme took the "gourmand" genre and gave it a new face. A lot of gourmands are definitely warm and sweet, but often they're too sweet and can lack substance. What Yohji does is give sweetness to elements that aren't usually sweet, and gives comfort and sensuality to the accords that already are sweet. And, through the lavender and hints of coumarin, Yohji Homme becomes a successful gourmand/fougère hybrid with a decadent "roasted" quality reminiscent of a crème brûlée. Sillage and longevity are both excellent, but Yohji Homme is never invasive or cloying.

The bad: Yohji Homme is discontinued and getting harder and harder to find.

The ugly: Someday there may very well be no more Yohji Homme out there.

Bottom line: Guys and girls, try it already. Yohji Homme is one of those fragrances that redefines perfumery as an art form, and basically establishes what a "good" fragrance can be.

Let me state from the beginning, I am not a lover of anise or licorice scents...that being said, this is a very well constructed fragrance. Without a doubt the anise/licorice plays a huge roll in the presentation, but this also has one of the nicest leather notes that I have ever smelled. Very smooth, not overly animalic, blended very well with the tonka bean, coffee, and sandalwood. I would not even compare this with the sweet LL Au Masculin...but I would draw minor comparisons to Ecko's ozonic anise wonder. Yohji is not overly sweet, and it is truly masculin. I was lucky enough to get a few samples of this, but I probably will not be purchasing a full bottle of this, though I did consider it. It is a must try...ignore Turin or anyone else for that matter. I say pay attention to your own nose, and screw the fragrance dictators. I will stick with Nobile, vintage Xeryus, and Punjab for my current well blended wonders. I would like to sample Patou Pour Homme...if anyone can spare a sample, give me a message. I have just come across a very rare and interesting scent myself.

I really want to smell this, as Luca Turin seems to believe basically every other fragrance in the world copied it (at least thats the impression i get from his massively over rated book. I also get the impression he and Tania Sanchez are arrogant tosspots)

Long time I had an individual hostility to Yohji Homme: that it reminded me old Soviet cologne Tet-a-Tet, as which many men in the USSR smelt:-)I thought that this too warm and stuffy, but I was mistaken. In small doses it is very harmonious, beautiful and elegant. At me a bottle of the French first release and I am happy that it is in my collection.In a cold or in a heat smells absolutely differently. During cold time more monotonously. YH - predicted, but very remembered.

It's a rare fragrance and has been discontinued. So if you find it on line, buy it.

I think it's overrated. It's like a roll in the hay (literally) with a bar of gingerbread soap. The licorice note appears--as it always does--but not in a way that elevates this scent overall. Warm, but it doesn't pulsate.

I think licorice is done far better in both Lolita Lempicka and Casual Friday.

Ha Ha …
I was searching for a good cologne just for intimate, I bought it but I think maybe I had much better choices!

This is very sweet, warm and leathery! Nice but not such a groundbreaking stuff.

I don’t go for it again, mostly because I don’t like that pipe-shaped and tall flacon!

Longevity and sillage are about average, as I remember!

سالها پیش وقتی داشتم دنبال یه ادکلن واسه قرارهای عاشقونه میگشتم، به این برخوردم. اما حالا فکر می کنم که واقعاً انتخاب های خیلی بهتری هم داشتم
بوی شیرین و چرم گونه ای داره و کلاً خوشبوست ولی چیز خارق العاده ای نیست
من که دیگه دوباره نمی خرمش، بیشتر بخاطر اینکه از شیشه لوله مانندش خوشم نمیاد
ماندگاری و پخش بوی متوسطی داره
البته تا جایی که یادم میاد

Absolute masterpiece.

In ref. to honeydays, it's probably the tonka bean. It can do that for some people.

There is an ingredient in some perfumes that smells like mud. This one has it. And it's not just a reaction on my skin. I can smell the muddy scent right out of the bottle.

This is definitely a cologne to wear for intimate, special occasions. It has a sweet smell, very sensual... Particularly I love the smell of cinammon.
