L'Homme is a wonderful fragrance with one serious drawback: it is very short lived. I'm not one that likes to project a lot but L'Homme starts out wonderfully then fades into nothingness in less than 3 hours. After applying 4 sprays underneath my ears, waiting a few minutes and applying 4 more sprays, ladies have smelled my neck 3 hours later and said that the scent is barely detectable. That's sad because YSL is absolutely fantastic during its brief existence.

Upon applying, I get a very pleasant ginger and light citrus accord. The spices are not very prominent in L'Homme. Violet dominates the midnotes. That's the floral essence most are reporting. The drydown is vanilla and a hint of cinnamon from the tonka bean along with a little earthiness from vetiver. If the cedar is there, it is very light.

YSL, please produce a EDP or intense version of L'Homme. The fragrance is too expertly crafted and smells too fabulous to fade so quickly. It should be enjoyed for hours.

Very modern & misunderstood new classic from YSL. After the heavier M7, this is a lighter, softer and unique fragrance that shed the older images. The use of ginger is totally masculine. Basil and violet create the heartnotes that are unique. Contrary to others, this last all day on me. The sillage is considerate of others. It would work well in warmer climates. It has a unisex vibe going on, yet it would seem heavy on a lady. This definitely aimed at the under 30 crowd.

A hip urban scent for European-type youngsters. A very simple composition of vetiver, tonka(vanilla), and a little cedar. After the initial freshness wears off, it starts to smell kind of feminine to me.

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.

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.

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.
