The French luxury fashion house, Yves Saint Laurent, usually known as Saint Laurent or YSL, was established by Yves Saint Laurent and his business partner, Pierre Bergé. Saint Laurent was established in 1962 and now sells a variety of ready-to-wear items for both men and women, leather goods, shoes, fragrances and jewelry. Saint Laurent is hardly a newcomer to the industry; their first fragrance was introduced in 1964, approximately 60 years ago so they have quite the experience. Take a look at our top choices from the house that we think would be the best fit for you.

• Manifesto by Saint Laurent

• Mon Paris Dazzling by Saint Laurent

• Libre by Yves Saint Laurent

 

With every sniff, each person's nose detects a different note from Libre's orange blossom and lavender background; some detect lavender, others mandarin, and some vanilla. This makes Libre an extremely flexible fragrance. It is a hidden gem, but be careful not to blindly purchase one because some may find it to be too masculine or powerful despite the fact that it is an alluring white flower. Such an energizing and seductive scent.

• Manifesto Le Parfum by Yves Saint Laurent

 

Due to the addition of tonka bean, cinnamon, a teeny bit of iris, and jasmine, Manifesto Le Parfum has a sweet and deep, addictive touch that is reminiscent of benzoin. It is also lovely, sweet, dense, warm, and wintery. This is a more sophisticated rendition of Carolina Harrera's Good Girl. It misses the coffee flavor and has a benzoin resin depth in place of the bergamot, which adds sparkle. When sprayed softly, however, it is lovely and dries down to a rich, wonderful vanilla. This scent is warm, seductive, complex, and highly addictive.

• Middle notes: At the heart of the fragrance lies Iris and Jasmine

• Mon Paris Dazzling Lights Collector by Yves Saint Laurent

It is versatile too, no matter the season or weather, outdoors indoors, intimate or formal, it's just perfect. It encapsulates you from head to toes, just a couple sprays on your neck, behind the knees and chest, would cover you from your wig, to your pretty shoes. This is what you want to wear on a special occasion, you might not want to wear this everyday, so it doesn't get old.

BEST SAINT LAURENT PERFUMES FOR MEN

• La Nuit De L’Homme by Saint Laurent

• Body Kouros by Saint Laurent

• L'Homme Ultime by Saint Laurent

• Jazz by Saint Laurent

• Y Eau by Saint Laurent

 

•  La Nuit de l'Homme by Yves Saint Laurent 

 

This is the perfume you wear to a nice restaurant or late-night movie. It's not too loud, pretty much subtle, and is not something you wear around just any woman. La Nuit De L'Homme is for that special woman you want to leave a lasting impression on. Due to the fact that the person lying next to you wouldn't be scared off by something overpowering, it is also an excellent option for a nighttime perfume. Cedar, citrus, and spices all play significant parts in the creation of this fragrance.

• Top notes: Opens with Cardamom
• Middle notes: At the heart of the fragrance lies Bergamot, Virginia Cedar and Lavender
• Base notes: At the base, Caraway and Vetiver
• Perfume Gender: Masculine
• Scent Accord: Woody Spicy
• Longevity: 6 hours
• Sillage: Moderate
• Projection: Wide

• Body Kouros by Yves Saint Laurent 

 

With Kouros, YSL gives sour, green, and herbal smells a vintage interpretation. It gives the impression of an affluent, well-groomed older man. It is one of the best-performing scents available, but there are no middle grounds; you either really adore it or utterly detest it.

• Top notes: Opens with Incense and Eucalyptus
• Middle notes: At the heart of the fragrance lies Clary Sage, Chinese Cedar
• Base notes: At the base, Benzoin
• Perfume Gender: Masculine
• Scent Accord: Amber Spicy
• Longevity: Eternal
• Sillage: Strong
• Projection: Very Wide

• L'Homme Ultime by Yves Saint Laurent

 

Without a doubt, L'Homme Ultime is the ideal spring fragrance. It is fairly distinctive and uplifting, with a fresh opening and a lovely rose in the background. This is also a summer love; it is refined, excellent, and passionate. You can buy this one with confidence if you like the original L'homme and Declaration D'un soir by Cartier. It is a clean, fresh, manly rose scent that is especially radiant in the spring.

• Top notes: Opens with Bergamot, Cardamom, Grapefruit, and Ginger
• Middle notes: At the heart of the fragrance lies Apple, Geranium, Sage, and Rose
• Base notes: At the base, Cashmere Wood, Vetiver, and Cedar
• Perfume Gender: Masculine
• Scent Accord: Woody Floral Musk
• Longevity: Eternal
• Sillage: Enormous
• Projection: Very Wide

• Jazz by Yves Saint Laurent

 

Jazz is a fresh, slightly spicy aromatic scent that has a well-balanced floral dry down that also displays some woody undertones. There are clear bergamot, nutmeg, and anise notes at the beginning, and the sandalwood is noticeable right away. In the dry down, geranium and lavender notes can be detected together with sandalwood's woodiness and a tinge of leather. It is an exquisitely crafted fragrance.

• Top notes: Opens with Cardamom, Cinnamon, Bergamot, Basil, Anise, Artemisia, Coriander, Nutmeg, and Lavender
• Middle notes: At the heart of the fragrance lies Iris, Jasmine, Carnation, and Geranium
• Base notes: At the base, Tonka Bean, Amber, Musk, Cedar, Sandalwood, Leather, Tobacco, and Oakmoss
• Perfume Gender: Masculine 
• Scent Accord: Woody Aromatic
• Longevity: 12 hours
• Sillage: Strong
• Projection: Wide

• Y Eau de Parfum by Yves Saint Laurent

 

This is a mass-pleasant fragrance. The first impression of Y EDP is aromatic and fresh, while the dry down is heavy and aromatic ambroxan.  Although clary sage gives it a tiny twist, it still has a highly synthetic smell, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. This is quite distinctive and possibly the best fragrance smell right from YSL.

• Top notes: Opens with Bergamot, Ginger, and Apple
• Middle notes: At the heart of the fragrance lies Geranium, Juniper Berries, and Sage
• Base notes: At the base, Olibanum, Vetiver, Cedar, Tonka Bean, Amberwood
• Perfume Gender: Masculine
• Scent Accord: Aromatic Fougere
• Longevity: 6 hours
• Sillage: Moderate
• Projection: Moderate

Conclusion

Saint Laurent fragrances are the fantasy that nobody wants to wake up from. Prepare to go to a fragrant wonderland and let YSL lead the way.
