L'Homme Yves Saint Laurent for men

This fragrance open very similar a Givenchy Pi neo Tropical Paradise, i have boths in my hand. but l'homme a bit spyce. Dry down L'homme more sweet and Pi neo Tropical more fresh.

Fresh. Floral. Spicy. Very nice well blended. I mainly smell a toned down ginger with florals and spices. Even tho it has florals the spices, cedar and vetiver give it a masculin edge. If you want something to wear all year round and a compliment getter look no further. This is versitile fragrance perfect for any ocassion any time.

I get lots of compliments on this but I find it way too sweet. Last all day on me and can even smell a hit of it the next day. Women love it.

Masculine, clean, fresh and spicy. Smells high quality, not synthetic at all.
Many people compare this to 1 million but I don't get that, it lacks the sweetness of 1 million and it's much more masculine.
This is superb for casual everyday use or as a signature scent. Projection and overall scent is great but unfortunately longevity is below average, I get 4 or 5 hours.
I get lots of compliments on this, girls seem to love it.
Projection: 8/10
Sillage: 8/10
Longevity: 5/10
Scent: 9/10

God Dammit lol.
I hate when this happens haha

Ok to add to my earlier post. I'll admit it, I was looking for La Nuite del L'Homme by YSL.. And they didn't have it so i got this...(It was a blind buy)

At first when i first sprayed it, it smelled like 1 Million, It wasn't till i actually compared the two and noticed that this was a lot less sweeter and the dry down was different. but through the last 24 hours I've been testing it out during the day and notice they are indeed similar but only for the first few minutes until L'Homme changes to a sweet powdery smell Like that make-up smell people have been saying and 1 million is almost the same smell through out.

My rating now? 8.5-9/10
- save it for a special occasion though ;)

masterpiece easily gets addicted to.
luxurious 10/10

I liked this cologne. The only thing that i didnt like about is that its hard to really say what it actually smells LIKE. I can say i like it... it smells nice...but i cant destinguish particular things about it. I do like it but cant say i love it

Not even nibbling Prozac from a supermodels buttocks would be more enjoyable then this marvelous scent

I really like this one, I see strong similarities with estee lauder intuition. Good longevity with average sillage.

YSL L'Homme is a very versatile cologne. The fresh spicy opening gets replaced by a warm spicy drydown. This is a great fragrance for 30+ men. Can be used on all seasons, for office, night out, casual etc. Some say L'Homme is creamy. I do not agree. L'homme is a little bit of everything. A bit sweet, little woody, a bit on the floral side but mostly spicy.

Similar in type to Allure homme and Burberry classic, I think L'Homme is better than these two as it has a more natural feel and it is less sweet. It is very hard to overspray L'Homme.

Sillage is moderate but longevity is amazing. 10+ hours. Overall a very good fragrance for the modern young man. 8.5/10

Fresh and sweet!! I absolutely love this scent! Draws lots of compliments! To me, it smells a bit like apple sauce :P
God bless!

10/10

This one is a puzzler on me.

The initial scent is pure bliss. I absolutely love it and find myself wanting to smell me all the time.

During the dry down, it morphs into something I don't care for at all...it really breaks down and changes smelling like baby powder under a blow torch.

Would be one of the best I've ever smelled if it stayed true to it's initial aroma, but it takes a disastrous turn for the worst that makes the ride not worth it in the first place.

Great scent! Opens with mellow citrus and ginger-fresh but not harsh. Slowly the gentle spice of the heart gives way to a smooth blend of woods and mild tonka.
Its a bit like D&G Pour Homme but sweeter/fruity with a warmer drydown. Overall well balanced, sweet-balmy while masculine and long lasting. Projects very well without being overpowering.

IMO - this juice is exceptional only in its impressive generic-ness. I couldn't find a single noteworthy quality in it.

It smells heavily of alcohol to me, although not sure which spirit.

I am on the edge with this one. Something about me likes it because it's high end and recognized/famous. But it's too sweet and the notes cloy me. I prefer the night version, it's manlier in my opinion.

it took me the entire day to recall which this smell is reminiscent of.......Bingo

Very good version of Lacoste pour homme ..
Good for office

Any body gets Lacoste Pour homme (new)??

عطر رائع اخاذ

My favorite cologne by YSL. Most of the characteristics of this scent have been covered already by all the positive reviews but one thing i would like to add is that this scent can be defined in one word...confidence. It takes a confident man to wear something this sweet. it is also not a loud scent, "the loudest one in the room is the weakest one in the room."

I'm my opinion the best fragrance from the YSL house. I love the apple pie filling vibe I get from this fragrance. This can easily be a signature scent for any guy looking for a great,masculine,and long lasting fragrance. This fragrance works better for me in the fall/winter. Maybe in the cooler spring days. Great work YSL.

Yeah, I'm using it now and I have to say it's scent for serious men, it's simple and classy. It's not WOW like Chanel Allure Sport was, but it's OK, at least it's not another girlish teenage scent like many others. I use it only because I get tired of 10th bottle of super-extra-classy Allure Sport. Inspite of the fact that these scents are different, they have the same style.

But I didn't expected it to be so sweet, it's really sweet especially in middle notes, the drydown is the best part of this scent for me.

Really good in cold weather in winter. It's just a little bit too sweet and a little bit weak for summer hot days.

If you're looking for an everyday scent with style, class and great longevity, then YSL L'Homme is recommended. I had this for about 2 years and I got so many comments from the ladies about it. Such a smooth and easy to wear scent. So smooth and classy it will not offend yet it still has decent projection. Lasted all day on me. Suitable for any climate and office wear or night time wear.

A little harmless, but it smells very nice.
I like but not love.

quiero tener 1000 ml de l homme.

este es el mejor aroma q he olido en mi vida, hace un tiempo mis aromas predilectos eran 212 y euforia, pero al conoser l, homme todo cambio, aun no encuentro un aroma q lo supere, realmente otra dimencion en colonias.

Despite its good aroma, is a simple frangancia. So simple that gets to be a bit boring.
The upside is that its simplicity makes it easily recognizable, adaptable to any person, and therefore very popular. In short, a very marketable product.

actually I think this is better than perplexingly plain yet popular Allure Homme but it's still too synthetic, and ultimately a poor version of Boss Bottled.

The top is pleasant and refreshing enough, like some apples with spice and hint of powder. But the violet leaf annoys and the ginger seems to be everywhere nowadays, it's all getting really boring. This sort of thing is so common now, even the bargain deals need a further price cut review. Wouldn't even pay £10 for a bottle of this.

With CKlein having been and done Mass Market town about 3 million times, why do other designers all jump on board the same boat, only with snobbier price tags?

There is so much bad in the industry now, one wonders if it's becoming an Official crime?

Big rant essay, look what they made me do.

L'homme have a citric opening with bergamot being accompanied by a dominant ginger note. A really good combination which may seems to be ordinary but it is not.

I agree with Mr. ClickClick. The drydown leaves us with a sweet creamy aspect wheres tonka bean does such an incredible job giving a smooth, creamy and rich aroma to this particular fragrance. Anyway, a very good, safe, versatile and pleasant fragrance that is an incredible alternative for the common citric/aquatic fragrances for the summer.

If I only had a man...I would hope he'd smell just like this. This isn't your bad boy, or park ranger, your prepster,or your policeman, or your firefighter, your family man or your dentist, your gangsta, or your beach boy, etc...this is your everyday good man, who leaves them all in the dust. He is comfortable in his own skin, he does not mind putting an effort for you, tries to look clean and put together. Fresh from the shower. Some after shave. A crisp, black shirt, some black pants...sneaks, boots, whatever. He might have a watch on. He has nothing to hide, nothing to prove, doesn't have to act confident and playful to show he is...he is offering himself to the world just as he is. And this is why this is my favorite Men's perfume. This is so fresh and elegant and versatile. Cool, sleek and warm.The guy who wears this is up for anything and ready for anything. Hanging out with his friends. Ready to go skydiving with me and ready to tumble for a few hours. The man exudes unstudied class. And I'd never get tired of him...

Some men would be put off by the sweetness. I happen to like this sweet essence of it, it shows your are HUMAN. The world cannot fall on your shoulders. It may feel like that often and for what I've seen from the many men in my life (friends, family, strangers), you need to relax. You need to be taken care of. Sometimes, y'all need a hug. But this also shows you need to be lusted after. The ginger, spices and lemon give it a kick, reminding whoever is smelling you that while you may have your ward down a bit, your senses are always on. Aren't they always? In result, you come up as unexpected. Unexpected because you're not as abrasive as the many others that scream "LOOK AT ME, LOOK HOW MUCH NOISE I CAN MAKE!!" and come up as obnoxious. You look at her nonchalantly, you know she'll look (you sly dog...). That is refreshing and sexy to me.

It was LOVE at first scent!

comment parler de ça sans écrire en français?
c'est toute l'elegance française!

this smells french!
Very elegant...

After owning this for a few months and giving it a fair share of wearings, I must say that nothing has changed. I still get great longevity and decent projection. To be honest, I wouldn't want this frag to be SUPER loud. It works just right and women absolutely love it. I've noticed that women really LOVE the men's fragrances that may come off a little feminine or that have certain qualities that remind them of something about/of themselves. Like I said earlier, there is something in this frag that reminds me of hair-spray. I think this is what makes women LOVE L'Homme. Just like the "make-up" vibe from the iris is DH & DHI, or the "coconut/sun-tan lotion" feel from Fire Island that make the girls go nutts!!! This is from personal experience with random & familiar women (both in & out of my family) >_< LOL... They all say the same thing, "I don't know what it is about that cologne you have on, but it just smells so (d_mn/f_ckin') good!"
L'Homme is an excelent fragrance guys. The ginger is creamy and not sharp at all, though its warm & mild spiciness paired with the vetiver is what helps it stay grounded and masculine. This is an EXTREMEly versatile fragrance that can be worn year 'round. This is the most inoffensive fragrance available (IMO) and a perfect "Signature Scent" for anyone - anywhere. Thanks.

My favorite out on the town or going to have a few drinks with the ladies or gonna find some honeys with the fellas type of scent...I get compliments from both ladies and men, and feel this is my signature scent for the spring/summer, but may occasionally use it in the fall.

A chic version of Coolwater, a more synthetic and sweeter GIT.

Some similarities with Boss Bottled, although this one is weaker but at the same time classier.

Save your money and buy Al Direyah For Men (by Al Rehab).
The bottle looks much better too!

Ótima fragância! Possui uma saída maravilhosa de bergamota e gengibre... muito fresco! Excelente para os dias quentes. Recomendo para jovens e senhores, para o trabalho, pois não é invasivo e também para a noite. É um perfume versátil, elegante, moderno e requintado. Só não dou nota máxima porque a fixação não é tão boa quanto gostaria. Considero, no geral, a melhor fragância da YSL.

Women notice this scent. Lasts most of the day.

A good daytime fragrance for both fall or spring, versatile enough to be used throughout most of the year. Apart from maybe winter when I feel cold weather would kill this.Very similar in smell to Dolce & Gabanna the one, this is a masculine floral with noticable ginger notes & mild spices. On the skin when first sprayed this smells great, maybe less strong at short range than D&G the one but both have similar projection. I would say out of the two fragrances, this is slightly fruitier & has slightly better longevity. But, like D&G the one, this fragrance, at least on my skin turns to a sweet, candied almost toffee like smell but keeps some of the mild spices. I found the initial projection mild to average but after a very short while this sticks very close to the skin, which may make this a good office or close quarters fragrance. I could imagine that L'homme would appeal to a wide audience & it could be seen as a safe fragrance, or a good starter fragrance for anyone wanting to try the YSL line for the first time. I unfortunately don't find it as interesting as other YSL fragrances which have a reputation for being bold, interesting & original, in balance there is little to dislike from this fragrance. A try.

After I let myself get past the fact that Yves Saint Laurent is owned by L'Oreal, and gave this fragrance a chance, I have to say this is entirely enjoyable. Nirvana to my nose. It's opulent. Sensual. Pure ecstasy. Obviously I love the way it smells, but maybe it's a scent I'd like to smell on someone else more. I DO like smelling it.

That being said, it smells just like the way it's classified: Woody Floral Musk. The dry down is by far the best part of this cologne. At this point, on me atleast, it could be considered an oriental. Don't get me wrong. It's lighter than most other orientals, but it has similar qualities particularly the spicy accord. The wood and musk are toned down. Soft and light not earthy and rugged. A little sweet and powdery, but only slightly so. It doesn't scream floral, but it's not the most macho scent on the market. If you like this one, and it works for you, enjoy it. You will get asked what you're wearing, and you will get complements.

YSL L'Homme is pretty versatile. It works in Spring and Summer as the majority of reviewers have indicated, as long as you don't over indulge. I think it's even more suitable for Winter and Fall. It's a good choice for day or night, but a better choice for romantic evenings out; or for nights spent at home with that someone special. It lasts long enough on my skin to make it worth the purchase price.

The main drawback for this fragrance is the L'Homme flankers. It's a great original scent that is almost lost in all the seemingly never ending new editions of itself. In my opinion the perfumers got it right the first time. I simply can not be bothered with the flankers. I'll stick with the original thank you very much.

Why did my first review show up as by guest???

I currently work at a perfume store right now and I can say that this frangrance is one of the sexiest smells a man can wear. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this stuff.

What can I say... It's my signature scent. So sensual, elegant, sexy, and subtle. I can use it on winter and summer time and everywhere. It's very verastile. Great scent I was waiting for. YSL L'Homme is not loud, but lasts over 6-8 hours on my skin. The basenotes are pure orgasm to my nose :) Looks like girl love it. Overall 5/5

La Nuit version sucks IMO. There is plenty of scents like La Nuit, and I prefer Armani Code over La Nuit.

L'Homme missed its release date by seven years. It smells as though it should have been introduced in 1999, the same year as Allure Homme, to bring competition to Chanel. The similarities to my nose are astounding. Although L'Homme lacks the Chanel's allspice oomph, its tonka bean parity lends the same warmth and sweetness found in both scents. Unlike Allure, L'Homme is cooler, with more generous citrus and synthetic herbal components (the ginger and basil?) in its top. I'm certain that, like the labdanum in Allure, the violet leaf in L'Homme is present but dialed back. The composition is slightly sharp, a little hollow, and altogether sweet. The fragrance grows warmer and increasingly powdery with time. It is pleasant, and could be the perfect "signature scent" for the discreet male. However, for this kind of thing, I'd stick with Allure Homme.

smells good. one of the best ever but if it don't last long, to me it don't even matter and this don't matter.

I finally bought a bottle of L'Homme last night! I wanted to see what the fuss was all about. I tested it on paper and it smelled nice (not on skin because was already wearing another) knowing that my skin usually reacts slightly similar although not as dry. I liked it so much that I took another shower to wash off my previous fragrance just so that I could wear this, lol. Now, I see a few people complaining about the longevity of this fragrance and I have got to say that - I COMPLETELY disagree!! I put this on at around 10:15pm last night; it is right now 4:50pm (next day) and I can still smell it!! It is close to my skin, but I TOTALLY catch wisps of it every 5 minutes or so reminding me its still there. I only gave myself 3 sprays too (on bare chest and on wrists) and have washed my face and hands a few times since. I am sorry to those of you that claim this to not have good longevity, because you are wrong. Maybe your skin does not do this frag justice. Mine sure as hell does, and I love it! At the top of this fragrance I got kind of a weird note that I can only describe as "hair spray" smelling (naybe from spices-idk). I actually didn't mind it that much because it was accompanied by an awesome ginger and citrus. Anyways, Good stuff here! I thoroughly like it. Thanks YSL.

Really nice woodsy oriental. A close male friend of mine was wearing this and on him it smells beautiful. The dry down and his body chemisty made it smell more musky and sweet. I think I gave him a complex because I kept sniffing him. I bought the travel version of this fragrance solely because of him. I'm a woman so I knew this would smell differently on me. Depending on what I'm in the mood for, I will wear this alone (not often) or layered with a more feminine fragrance so I can get that masculine kick(more often). It's not really a unisex fragrance for me, but layered it can turn any of my more feminie fragrances into one. My biggest problem with it though is that it doesn't last long on me.

The scent of this fragrance is GODLY. When I wore it I could not stop sniffing my wrist, and the ladies love it too.

It might be different for other people, but on my skin the spices really stand out and make it much more unique and masculine than other people make it out to be, it almost smells like a chilled apple cider with a few spices from chai tea added as well, not to mention I also find it to be a very natural and EXTREMELY classy smell. Plus, it is definitely a scent you could wear year-round, but is DEFINITELY much more unique than any other summer scent out there.

I prefer this scent over the flanker La Nuit De L'homme because when I wear that scent, it smells like a fragrance that a douchy man that's trying too hard would wear, and only to get into another woman's pants.
The original L'homme, on the other hand, smells like a genuine nice guy that smells less like he wants sex and more like he wants to comfort her and be with her. IMO, even though la Nuit gets more compliments, the original L'homme has a much better and more attractive "vibe" going on.

Longevity on my skin is quite good, I actually get about 6-9 hours from this scent, but where it loses points for me is with projection. At the initial spray it projects very well, about 3-4 feet, but even after the first hour, it only projects about a foot off the skin, and as time goes on it gradually gets even closer to the skin, and after the 5th hour it is barely detectable but that stage can remain for as much as 4 hours longer. That is the only complaint I have about this, and I know it is different on other peoples' skin.

Try it on your skin and see if it works for you!

This one for sure would be my favourite one among the approx. 30 boxes I own, if it would last longer than 3 hours on my skin. :-(
Pro:
+ Love the smell! Perfect smell for a summer evening on my skin.
+ Girls love it on me.
Contra:
- Poor poor lasting power!!

My wish to YSL: Please make an intense version of this one with the exact same smell, but doubled longivity and I would buy 20 boxes!!

Who could recommend me a very similar scent with a better longivity? Thx!

I love this scent, even the bottle! I know it is for men but I would love to use it too! It's magnetic and addictive. Very classy.

A really nice complex scent that would be perfect for a first fragrance, because I don't think it could be offensive to anybody (there are always exceptions) even if you put on a little too much. It becomes better appreciated the more you wear it in my opinion. The Problem: It is not very strong and it doesn't last. I need to put on like 5 sprays of this juice. I think this problem could be resolved if YSL would just add more essential oil to each bottle. I really like it a lot though - it is very often my quick go-to scent if I'm in a hurry. Just remember to take a travel size with you if you want to still smell like this stuff after two hours.

The scent is nice, but this one doesn't last long at all. Within a few hours, there's nothing there. As a matter of fact, it would be more beneficial to put this in the refrigerator and take a swig when you are thirsty for cold water.

3/10

I like this cologne a lot + my wife. The opening is fresh not overbearing or "loud" southern term. I would wear this in a office, church, or night out on the town. However, the longevity is average at best, 3-4 for me. The dry down kind of reminds me of Unforgivable. Score: 8.5/10, would be a 9 if the longevity was better.

Don't like it at all,it's sweet,synthetic,unpleasant and nothing special.Sorry about that.

At first, this well made fragrance is clean and invigorating, but it melts into a rich and mouthwatering scent later on. Citrus is gentle, and something about the fragrance reminds me of white chocolate, but not in a sweet way. This is fairly versatile, but I wouldn't recommend for extremely hot weather. Two bad things- price and packaging. It is too expensive for something so generic (it does smell very very nice though!) and if you purchase a bottle that isn't the largest 3.4 size, I think the bottle looks pathetic; short and round. Just my opinion. Try it out though, it's quite pleasant.

Definitely a masterpiece, comfortable and easy going.
I'm totally crazy about the way it donates the ginger; such a great aromatic presentation.
A sexy and chic perfume for anytime and everyday; doesn't bore and exhaust.
Although not grown up like the black bottles, perfect as ancestor of a group.
longevity a little bit poor 6/10
sillage 9/10
scent 7/10

One of ma favourite scent. Not too loud, but very sensual... I love every drop of L'Homme on my skin. The best middle and base notes I ever smell. I had to buy two 90ml bottles. Love it!

For me it's very generic. But I like it.

I just LOVE this fragrance!
It's one of my favourite fragrances!

after initially disliking this fragrance, it has really grown on me. it's a gentle, more refined aroma, which was not something i was expecting from a fragrance marketed to men. as such, it seemed too effeminate for me at first, especially since i'm more of a casual guy who likes being outdoors. but i decided to hold onto this, and i've found it to be a nice change of pace from most of the fragrances i wear. it's great for formal occassions or taking a nice girl out somewhere classy. it would probably do well in church, too.

my apologies for reversing my opinion, but fragrances sometimes to do that to me as i become accustomed to their essence and can appreciate them more fully.

I like this cologne. The opening is very fresh and floral. The only downfall I would say of this cologne is longevity. It projects well on my skin for about 3-4 hours then sort of fades and dies after that. But overall, it is a great everyday/every season cologne. It reacts differently in all weather types, and is currently one of my favorite colognes.

Beautiful bottle and lovely juice. I just can't get enough of this fragrance and it's not a surprise that it keeps receiving rave reviews five years after it was released. Its versatility gives it an edge over its younger brother, La Nuit De L'Homme. It is ideal for almost every occasion, different temperatures and seasons.

wonderful fragrance you can use it every day and every season good for summer because it is very fresh and in the winter season its like a elegant one !
buy it

I liked this on the card, and so I bought it for my husband to be given as a gift. It's a bit on the sweet side, but the woods, ginger and pepper definitely stand out. At first I liked it, but I think I ruined it. I accidentally got it on my skin, and it wasn't bad at first, but then it turned into a sickeningly sour metallic smell and old manish. If you've ever been in a welding shop, you'll know what smell I'm talking about. Although that smell I am referring to was very faint underneath a mask of woods, it wasn't masked enough to still like it...and I love strong woodsy scents (even if this one was on the sweet side) I'm now debating on buying something else before his Bday just because of my experience, because i don't want to risk it happening to him. In fact, I think it may have ruined my affinity towards mostly woodsy scents. I might give it another chance later on in the future, til then it's sitting in a drawer til further notice.

I totally agree with bwcw81 it reminded me a lot of joop go!
I did 'nt test the longevity but heard that it's not good so if joop last longer ,go for joop.
To the smell,it's creamy fresh sweety .Not unique IMO and it would be more good with some pepper and more woods,it's soo safe,no personality in it.
I bet that it will get compliment from women just because they would like to wear it.

Way to bland and generic.
I do love the "Nuit" version and many other YSL's, but this is way too easy on my nose.
Not bad, but nothing special either...

5.5/10

This one is for a mature individual. Made for spring and summer, it is very subtle. Lasts 4-6 hours(even though I only tested it a few days into spring). Ensure you wear scentless deodorant with this one due the cologne being very subtle.

Note: Cold temps. can kill a spring/summer cologne's scent. Definitely NOT for cold temps.

Ok , after looking for a Summer nite scent going out to a club or lounge I think I found it! Yves St. Laurent L' homme is very nice all year round. I prefer this as a nite time scent and I am very much happy with it.... It works well in the spring or summer. The oriental woody smell lasts for a good 8-10 hours on me. 2 sprays on the neck and maybe one on the wrists , and im good to go....

I really like how L'Homme develops. It starts out as a citric tang, which I always hate, but as a lil surprise, it very soon begins the development to an edible, gourmand pulp of what I imagine to be a nut or legume.
The ginger lingers very subtly throughout development, all the spices are taking over now, but the back bone if this whole scent is clearly the tonka, which isn't overused or overpowering at all, which I think is because the woods and mosses somehow soften it down to just be a base note.

I would definitely have this scent for a quiet night with friends or, if i get it at a decent price, at the office.

Never in my life had I had so many people ask me what I was wearing!. This is like liquid pheramones, the scent is so up lifting citrusy but subbtle and all at once spicy. Fresh but potant, its what you would wear to either formal dinner or lunch with friends. It's one of my favorites ever.

I am not a niche fragrance guy, most of my fragrances are being sold, or have been sold in Sephoria and the Department Stores. So my review comes from that perspective.

This fragrance is sweet maybe due to the tonka and citrusy, given off a creamy vibe. This is a versatile fragrance, I can see wearing it in most settings, for those who club defintely may be a bit light for that and I haven't tried it in the dead heat yet. But a perfect work scent that is for sure!

Im still new to fragrances and wanted to add a masculine floral to my collection and saw decent reviews for this 1 so decided to give it a shot... SO... I blind bought this 1 and ya win some ya lose some they say right ? HAHA, Well this time I got a BIG win because this was EXACTLY what I was looking for.. At 1st I was having some second guesses despite the good reviews just for the fact that this had ginger and im not a big fan of ginger... I must say though that the ginger note is done well in this and its a must have for sure... To me its kind of hard to describe what this smells like but it starts out fresh,floral, with that ginger note slightly in the background and as the fragrance progresses the ginger kicks in more making the smell you get in the beginning warmer smelling,inviting, and a tad spicier.. (the drydown to me smells like gingerbread cookies,lol) Also this is a favorite of the ladies... But ive noticed only women that are 21 and above seem to dig this... So if your looking to attract a younger crowd you may want to look elsewhere

Ratings: ranging from 1-10
Smell: 8.5
Projection: 8.5
Longevity: 8 (last anywhere from 6-8 hours)

Overall Rating 8.5

Age Range: 21-40

Best times to wear this: Perfect for goin out and could be used for clubbing... Mainly I see this as a going out scent. Could be used for work if you work an office job or a job that requires a suit and tie

This has a lovely creamy smell to it due to a predominance of the tonka and cedar at the base, which is kept masculine with the vetiver. To me the citrus hint vanishes almost instantly after spraying (which is good imo)and you're left with the spiciness of the white pepper which blends smoothly with the creamy base. Very nice men's fragrance. Though I could see layering this with something floral, mimosa or myrtle maybe, to make it into a women's fragrance.

a pure harmony , a angels calling for womans

I DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS ABOUT YSL L'HOMME BUT WOMEN CAN FALL IN LOVE WITH YOU A LOT MORE EASY WHEN YOUR WEARING IT, TO MY NOSE ITS NOT THAT SPECIAL(MAYBE BECAUSE IT'S MADE TO ATTRACT WOMEN),THIS IS MY 3RD BOTTLE BECAUSE IT DOES "IT'S JOB WELL" 9/10

I had the weirdest experience with this fragrance.

The first time I tried it on, I thought it was very nice, if perhaps a bit safe and mainstream for my tastes.

Then, the second time I wore it, there was a chemical edge so strong and nauseating that I found myself in the shower scrubbing and scrubbing to get it off. I seriously felt awful just smelling it. Now I cannot bear to smell it.

Very particular about mens fragrance but i like this one.

دقیقا همان مطلبی را که در مورد له نویت نوشته ام برای این عطر که قبل از آن لانچ شد کاملا مصداق مینمایید چرا که له نویت به نوعی شدید شده له هوم و اینتنس آن است و پرفیوم آن هم که معلوم است چه خبر است! البته در پرفیوم له نویت با له نویت اد تویلت مقداری از لحاظ نت روایح تعغییری ایجاد نموده اند و به نظر من له نویت هوم مقداری دلچسب تر از پرفیوم آن است

I bought this cologne about three weeks ago and have not gotten any compliment yet because the longivity sucks on my skin. I bought it online, so it might be fake although it looks perfect. Overall this cologne smells great, and nobody can hate it. I just have a problem with its longivity, which stays on me for maximum two hours after over 10 squirts.

I don't like the citrus involvement for this fragrance.
you can smell the citrus at the beginning and it settles in the background.

(overall - I'll take this if it doesn't have the citrus)
you will really smell the lemon, it's disappointing...

Beautiful modern fragrance! This is one of the fragrances that got me into the fragrance game. The ingredients blend an amazing scent for the younger guys out there. I wear this to school, and girls are always asking what I'm wearing. One of the best openings in the business in my opinion! Lasts forever on me too... One of the staples in my collection.

And at night for added projection I get out my La Nuit and head to the clubs! PERFECT

A fresh and modern EDT. Entry notes are almost dominating the aroma citrus orange, middle notes a little cream or herbaceous clean and smooth, with base notes of vetiver approaching the dry wood.

It is a perfect scent for a suit in office, gives a picture of neatness and elegance, is elegant, yet not I have more potential than working as elegant fragrance. Its aroma is similar to Egoïste Platinum by Chanel, but rather a softer version with notes of orange rather dominant. Universal age range, as can be used throughout the year.

its a magical formula and turn the ladies on!!!

Well done & bravo YSL for creating the perfect fragrance for the modern man.It is like one of those top quality Alain Delon movies.So refreshing,civilised & also long lasting.

Without doubt this is YSL's best ever & greatest men's fragrance.It is like the very best of the Champs-Elysees.Very stylish,very elegant & very sensual.

A recent discovery.This is really great for daytime wear.

i am a vomen but my huband love this staf and its troooo its sexy elegant and everything vhat a parfume should bee

I know that this scent gets a lot of negatve reviews but i think it is very under-rated. Everytime i wear this i get compliments and have never once got a negative comment about it. People say that it is boring and generic but it is what it is...a great smelling anytime go to scent. I have some fantastic fragrances that i never find the situation to wear and they just stay in my drawers gathering dust but i can wear this anytime, anywhere.
The ginger and simple spices combined with the citrus come together in quite a classic structure with a modern slant that means it can be worn any one of any age.

smells a lot like euphoria

my father use this parfum.very clean, so attractive, light and beautiful parfum.i think you must try, you wont be regretful

gave my husband a sample of this to try. he couldn't care less about fragrance, but wears it once in a while to please me. well, this pleases me! he brings out the spice in it and it's a very warm, close-to-the-skin scent with none of the sharp, aquatics that most men's fragrances seem to have these days.

yummy!

This is a fantastic fragrance. I am a big fan of YSL (currently have Opium Pour Homme, M7, Rive Gauche, L'Homme & La Nuit). Much different than scent than most of YSL's. To me it is creamy, warm, sweet scent that I consider one of the best in recent years. Finds a good balance between sweet and spicy with cedar base. I would call it a casual, everyday fragrance. Sillage and Longevity are decent, but not exceptional for YSL. Overall definitely worth having on your dresser.

a sexy-licious fragrance for men ! im in love.........

It smells good at first but then it makes me nauseous/dizzy after... I almost bought this. Good thing, my baby gave me a bottle of this. I got all excited -- only to find out it makes me nauseous/dizzy like the Chrome colognes... There's something in it that makes me nauseous/dizzy!!!

I do not like this. It´s just too chemical. They have tried too hard to convey us this is what it should smell like. Nothing natural IMO.
Even the wood is fake.

This by far one of the sexiest mens fragrances I have ever smelled, its creamy, sweet and floral w/ just the right amount of spice to it to keep it masculine... Dreamy I tell u!!! I went on a date last night w/ a guy who was wearing this(I asked) and I just couldnt stop sniffing him ... At one point he was beginning to think I was more interested in his fragrance than him lol... Yea, he was cute but this fragrance is a KNOCKOUT!!!

From what I've heard and observed, L'Homme has many female fans. I'm a definite fan, L'Homme makes a lovely, refreshingly spicy scent, with all the allure and appeal that makes it decidingly popular.

Woodsy, spicy and crisp sums up the whole composition in three simple words. This fragrance seems to suit any man of any age, regardless of the occasion or personality. Versatile enough to be worn casually, classically or to a strict suit and tie event.

The delicious spiciness was what immediately intrigued me when I first smelt L'Homme. I was not surprised when the sales assistant piped in with such praise with how popular this fragrance is as a present for lovers, family and friends.

I can distinguish an odd, tasty orange note, that seems to be neither the lemon nor the bergamot. Personally, this is what I feel makes this fragrance so amazing. I could smell this fragrance forever, just cuddle up to its wearer and relish in its woodsiness and deliciousness.

Some mention an aquatic type quality, and I slightly agree, even though its not so noticeable that it drives the scent. I'm not so certain as to what makes this fragrance so sexy, but there is no contention as to its obvious sexual appeal.

The sillage and lasting power is excellent, lasting for what seems like forever and a day. There is absolutely nothing else to say. I highly recommend.

Despite the positive reviews, I had been contemplating about it for a long time. Finally I came across it in the store. Without any staff around, I quickly grabbed and sprayed it on my wrist, and I fell in love with it instantly. Now I just have to tell myself to be sensible and hold on till I can find the right price.

This fragrance is so NICE! It smells so fresh and expensive. It smells soft but never get girly. It fresh but never get citrusy. It has a good projection while it stays put on skin. It just has the right balance of everything packed in a bottle. This fragrance can be a blind purchase and I bet there will be zero regret! I praise this product and it's a must have for me.

I am always complimented on how great I smell by both men and women. Its an excellent scent for everyday, makes you feel confident and empowered without worrying about smelling foul. It's an excellent self-esteem booster when people routinely take the time to admire how wonderful you smell!

My personal favorite cologne. The opening like many have said, is a nice combination of citrus but the ginger gives it a very distinct great smell. Longevity and sillage last pretty well with my skin. Just a great everyday fragrance.

only for very sexy ant stylist mans,my best in my colecction

wow, love this stuff..very sexy and romantic..its good for daily casual wear...i wore this at daytime its very sexy and it fresh me up....lots of compliment....girls love this stuff...(not girls i meant women)..lol

I think a lot of perfumes should be like this one - masculine, without being overtly about it, sensual without in your nose, and if we are honest:
nobody should wear those grand loud creations daily or to work. I love those olfactory delights, too - but the compliments I receive are mostly for the easier perfumes, or bodylotion.
So guys who are suspiscious of the quiet greatness here - it works too!
The scent itself is mature, but not too serious, begins with a twisted freshness of bergamot and ginger, that gives very fast way to the spiced herbs with a moderate cedar, which I think is great.
This is a scent for every occasion, except for a night out, maybe. But nevertheless should this turn heads - it at least turned mine head over heals.

I brought this for my man as his wedding perfume. He smells so elegant & sexy. Yes, his virtue is constantly in jeopardy when he is wearing this. Incidentally this is what he likes most about this scent.

Personally I think this is too sultry & special for everyday usage. He only gets to wear it at the wedding and on date nights. Nyak!!!

The lady at the store said it suited him because he is fair (a blue-eyed blonde). I am not sure if this has any scientific value but it would be an interesting experiment.

YSL L'Homme - One of my absolute favorites...woody and sweet and citrusy! so fresh its amazing...you can spray as much as you want and this will never be cloying! perfect for fall, spring, winter!

Hi.

When i test it the first time,I really feel Inlove with this Scent and I bought A Cute bottle.Simply EXCELLENT.

This modern fragrance is a combination of Sweet and Fresh notes.Specially in the begining.The Ginger makes L HOMME a really INTERESTING scent.

Masculine and Elegant in a Modern way.I think A helpful Fragrance as Perfect for both Everyday Wear as well for Evenings out!suitable for AUTUMN.

Longevity&Sillage?Are both Good which makes this cologne worth the money.

8/10

This is very classic, slightly sweet, creamy with hints of spice. It started with mild sweet citrusy at the begining, sweet creamy with hints of spices for the 2nd notes and mild woody with musky dcent for the base. Longevity is great, 5 hours on me and sillage is not too bad, ones will got the scent if close to you. It is a very easily addicted and versatile fragrance (office or nite out). Great for every mature man!

I would like to buy this but the scent it is too similar to my Joop!Go, I wonder anyone also have the same experience like I do.

When I first smelled/sampled this fragrance at the store, I thought it had a very femme scent to it(not a bad thing). On the way home I could not take make nose away from my wrist and became addicted to it. Purchased it the following week.

I get good longevity on my skin(8+ hrs) and also get many compliments when I wear it.

It does not smell cheap to me, but has more of a sophisticated smell to me. Therefore I prefer to wear it at night or in a intimate setting.

Overall, highly recommend at least trying this cologne next time you are in the store.

8.5/10

A very luxurious perfume. I'm in my 30's and this one is perfect to me. One of my favorites.

You know when you hit that swing moment when you talk to a guy, and they gesture or leave for a bit and their smell kind of gently wafts off them, and you find yourself irresistibly moving in for more and it's kind of embarrassing?

That's the case for me with L'Homme. it's the middle stuff that I smell the most; all that warm, slightly spicy but never overwhelming smell that's moderated with the citrus spices. It kind of just floats. And despite the best efforts of marketing executives, all scent is basically gender-neutral when it starts out, but I can definitely perceive a daring woman wearing this as well - I sure as hell would want to.

It is, I think ultimately, a grown-up perfume. It's subtle, but like I said it hits all the important things. Consider me a fan.

In my opinion a masterpiece, I love it from beginning to end this will always be in my collection.

i have never loved a perfume that much ,
theres always something in each perfume that might be annoying to me but this one is just perfect .
the longetivity might be an issue but concerning the smell , i am OBSESSED with this magnificent masterpiece.

as said below , this is definelty liquid gold
everything is amazing from the bottle design to the big white cover to the concentrated sexiness in it !

10/10 would be insulting it , do the math !!!

hellow all i have in my collection about 40 +perfumes this 1 its in top 3,super unigue frech sexy..... best of the best

I agree with you bamacharm, I cannot say this is for gay. Sorry if this hurting you. Sometime words are badly wrote. :)

I will edit my post ;)

I think yes, we can detect mass market fragrances, many of them. I dont say its not smelling good, but due to their overused fact, I dont like them.

Now a guy wearing Drakkar Noir is more original. I also think people who only wearing conventional stuff never had the chance to smell something else.
Just take Black Aoud in exemple; people are saying its a super power maybe too powerful for their taste. I think the opposite. IMO perfumes are like wines, the more you grow in those worlds the more refined and powerful stuff you want.

Sorry to not be polite here but this is like mass market perfume to my nose. I think every guys are wearing this are willing to be incognito in the mass. That's a fact; too many guys are wearing this so for me it become "normal" and very boring.
Why desinger's perfumes are so overestimated? Maybe because it's cheaper and easier to buy thats why designer perfumes are so mass marketed.

I am simply against too commercial stuff and amnormally overestimated things!



6/10

excellent scent, smooth and sexy, i would give it a 8 on 10.... the only problem with this scent is longetivity, and that takes a huge hit

Light and pleasant but a bit to every dayish. Was expecting more. Won't be hanging around by noon. Certainly will not offend the office. I found the sillage weak (on me anyway). I understand it is a big seller. But with so much to chose from it's not one I will return to. On the plus side the price is reasonable and it is a smart looking bottle.

Definitely a wonderful scent, if you like those sweet sleepy romantics :)

Nothing special about this IMHO. Just another pretty, politically correct composition. For me it is rather dull and faceless, with average, but not outstanding longevity. Nothing similar to previous YSL creations. Will be suitable for most today's crowd. Pleasant, but not more. There were no serious reasons for releasing it.

YSL L'Homme is a cool sweet scent. It got me when I took a sniff test thats why i wasn't able to resist getting one.

Had a tester bottle of this. I really liked it. Smells like apples to me.

i prefer la nuit this one is a bit sweet and almost femnine

I recently exposed myself to Yves Saint Laurent's line of cologne and I'm glad I did. I absolutely love YSL L'Homme. It's pure liquid gold. I'm a big fan of La Nuit De L'Homme as well but this one is more my speed. L'Homme has opened my eyes and made me appreciate the more complex/sophisticated kind of scents.

The opening is so fresh but not your typical kind of fresh. Like a new antique piece fresh. I think it's the the ginger combined with the citruses that does the trick. The spices and white pepper give it great depth but I don't find it spicy at all. As it dries down the tonka bean goes such an incredible job giving it's smooth, creamy, rich aroma. The ginger hangs in there with the veviter too.

Is the new La Nuit better than the original? Yes and No. It comes down to personal preference. They compliment each other very well. It's all about the time of day your wearing them, L'Homme being for daytime wear and La Nuit being for night time wear.

The longevity is great. I'm on hour five of wearing it and it's still holding up great. The dry down is rewarding too. You never lose L'Homme's magic throughout the time you wear it. Great from beginning to end.

Update: Wore it today and got 10+ hours out of it. I guess the longevity is spotty on this like many people have mentioned.

it smells like Dior Higher Energy..

master piece from ysl so sexy so delicious ,a real perfume from yang ppl

After the storm the calm ... It is the definition of this perfume after a lifetime of stormy YSL. A pleasant and elegant perfume.

A good scent and satisfying longevity. It is fresh and floral at the same time. Could be good from the middle of summer until early winter, to my opinion.

But yet it is not a very special thing, though it is from YSL.

However, I liked it.

I do not understand why some people think that a perfume needs to be good bump, cause nausea or expel people near you. This perfume has generated several negative criticisms. I thought it classic, comfortable and pleasurable to use it. I prefer him with the perfume smell of burning rubber just to appear different. Finally, the role of a good perfume is pleasure or bring some good memories, such as food.

This is very delicious sweety floral scent only the problem is longevity and sillage.
Safe, clean and perfect 4 office and daily usage.
Mid notes is some kinda sweeter version of Channel Egoiste Platinum.
Chanel EP is more dry and has no sweetness at all.

very nice fragrance, for everyday wearing

i find it a master piece , very very nice and sensual and a lil sweet . its great for daily usage and even for speciall ocassions

its a hot buy , u should give it a try

This is a fragrance that get mixed reviews. When I first wore it, people would come up and tell me that it smelled too feminine. However, when around one of my girl friend's she said it was very masculine. Ginger scent is very prominent but the floral scent settles onto the skin nicely. Perfect for the man who wants to be professional yet unique. Subtle but still stick out when brushing by a woman.

in spite of all write out about this fragrance i think it`s very good and we will give a well-deserved to his creator and to YSL house!

fragrance refreshing,but is too light and is not noticeable, and once your out the door it fades away.

top perfume for dior perfumes,woody and very power ,good for everyday man

I`m in doubt about this. Some "floral" component comes to my mind when I apply and smell this. I don`t like very much floral components in a flagrance, but this one tend to be a little different. I may confusing the components, maybe the ginger. Many says this is a boring fragrance, and in fact it doesn`t change much (almost nothing) from the beginning to the end (I don't mind about that, in fact if smells good I like when it is linear ). I will try it in the cold weather, when I think it will fit better. Indeed it is discreet, a little fresh, non-offensive to the nose, and I think more mature perfume. Nothing remarkable, just confortable.

Edit: I've said that I would prefer others to use everyday, but to be honest, I could easily use this everyday in the office, specially in the fall, or winter, despite its freshness. Longevity is not that good, I would say around 4 hours, until all that remains is just a good but very, very light fresh smell. It seens to be a kind of "classical" french perfume, as said before.

Good luck getting it to stay on once you get out of your door.

This one REALLY rubs me the wrong way... I don't know.. If you are at all sensitive to lemon peper, dill, etc.. those kinds of scents. you will HATE this.

nice light spice EDT ,I am offten wear this.It stay longer on shirt and good scent in cold air. I feel very confidence with this bottle, not to loud ,and clean.
ginger make it fresh with style

This fragrance is 100% modern French style. It is classic, light, easy to wear and slightly masculine. Does not stand out, very suitable for daily use.

It starts off nice and sweet, yet light, but after a couple hours, it becomes too light. It is a nice light cologne, and if it lasted longer on me I would really like it, but after about 4 hours, it becomes too light and is "just another cologne".

My first YSL. A scent one easily gets addicted to. Sweet, but not too. It has a great freshness to it that makes one look forward to starting the day. Actually, I like the top notes most, especially the peppery part and if only they would linger on. The problem is, it doesn't last long. On me not more than about 3 hours, even when spraying lavishly. Because of that I'm not sure if I will purchase it again. It's too short lived for the price.

From the YSL fragrance that I currently have (Opium pour Homme, M7, Rive Gauche pour Homme & YSL pour Homme), I find this fragrance a refreshing scent. It is the lightest of the YSL in my collection. I find this a welcoming change.

I would consider this fragrance an homage to Aqua di Parma. Instead of lingering on the citrus notes as AdP does, YSL pour Homme adds the twist of ginger, spices, basil with a slight hint of cedar to the combination.

This is a very causual, everyday fragrance.

Such a huge disappointment! Artistic bottle can lift up the contain inside. The worst scent from YSL so far. I can't feel any wood notes, instead of boring fresh flower notes thing.
