How does the house describe it?
YSL describes a highly concentrated woody-amber parfum highlighting fresh geranium, invigorating pine, patchouli and rich fir balsam. This review uses published information and separates listed notes from editorial interpretation.
Published notes
Geranium, pine, patchouli and fir balsam.
Reading the scent profile
Geranium and pine give the profile a green freshness, while patchouli and fir balsam add woody depth and warmth. The house does not publish a timed note pyramid, so this review avoids claiming one.
Who may enjoy it?
It may suit someone who likes fresh woody scents with green facets and a deeper base rather than overt sweetness or marine notes. Test a small amount on skin and let it develop.
