HEART NOTES: Flower, Iris, Jasmine, Carnation / BASE NOTES: Leather, Sandalwood / HEAD NOTES: Coriander, Mugwort, Nutmeg / GENDER: Women / Jazz by Yves Saint Laurent expresses the paradoxes and contrasts of a man trying to find his truth in a liberated and less conventional expression. THE STORY After years of masculine and virile affirmation, he reveals his sensitive side and assumes the paradoxes of a complex personality that oscillates between two poles: black and white, masculine and feminine, strength and sensitivity, classic and original, mastery and improvisation. OLFACTION The virility and strength perceptible from the very first notes convey a fresh, vibrant masculinity carried by Coriander. Geranium adds a masculine floral touch, before the mood is quickly transformed by Mugwort and Cypress, revealing the measure of a warm, intelligent and aesthetic man. The classic aromatic Fern accord becomes increasingly singular, developing into darker, more mysterious moods with Patchouli.
