Yves Saint Laurent Pour Homme (for men)

This is where it all began for me with luxury fragrance. At the time, 1984,there were only this and Kouros on the market from YSL. This was a little cheaper, so I picked up a bottle. Wow, talk about changing my life forever. I felt like I should be on some nude beach on the South of France. Rich, mature and natural. I was in Ohio, but I imagined the Mediterranean sun on me! Lemon, thyme and vetiver took me to another reality. I loved it. It never overpowers. It last for 2 days on me. Perfect for summer outings. Timeless an not geriatric! Its not the fragrance that gets old, just the users. I will never get the "old folks" label. YSL PH is timeless!

The tart opening is a little misleading as it burns off quite quickly,leaving a muted citrus residue to collide with the Thyme and Vetiver in the middle and base notes. Any exposure to warmth induces a significant increase in intensity, and in the heat of the summer, this will be a glorious production. It shares a similar architecture to Eau Sauvage,but is even more simplistic in construction. YSL PH has decent longevity in comparison, and it strikes a perfect balance between boldness and subtlety that is a joy to behold. The Thyme and Vetiver drydown has a warm hollowness to it that I simply will not tire of. This is exquisite.

Cassiano states that YSL Pour Homme is not suitable for middle aged men, but good for mature men! ... I had no idea that middle aged men were not mature.

However, middle-aged or geriatric is immaterial when evaluating this fragrance. The fact of the matter is: its top notes are wonderful, but when it dries down, it smells of old kitchen pantry, and I mean pantry!

There is a difference between adding spices as intrinsic components of the fragrance and cooking the fragrance in a pale of spices, so when the end result is to smell like a thanks giving turkey in the making, I'd rather wait till Christmas and smell like a ham!

I am a champion of citrusy fragrances for men, especially lemon. This fragrance offers that and more in the first hour or two, then it transmogrify into a poignant marinière sauce.

No wonder in my younger years I had always preferred Paco and Azzaro. Now that i thought I'd give this a try, it turned out to be far less than its reputation had promised.

This scent is wonderful! The problem is its target.
It is not good for men with middle ages. It fits better for mature men.

It is elegant, traditional and powerful.
When I smell this scent, I imagine a Head Director or a CEO of a company.

Besides that, it is an YSL scent!
