YSL’s Best-Selling Perfumes for Men

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

The Yves Saint Laurent fragrances for men have one characteristic that never fails to surprise critics and customers alike. All fragrances embody manhood. It’s bold, virile, rich and addictive. YSL is masculine when it needs to be masculine and feminine when it needs to be feminine. There is no confusion on the image it wants to project. It’s not an either/or fragrance because it is hardly androgynous.

As a man, you wouldn’t want to be caught dead wearing a borderline femme and pour home scent. On lighter and laid back days, aquatic and cooler fragrances are preferred and for evening affairs or special occasions that demand for a more richer and exuberant  scent, heavy musk and chypre types are more suitable.

Each YSL fragrance conveys a different sense of masculinity. He can be playful and roguish one moment then becomes serious and aggressive so much so when the situation calls for it.

Kouros
Kouros is a fragrance of strength. It’s strong, pungent and screaming masculinity: powerful and intense, the perfect chypre. There is no middle ground in this fragrance. Either you love it or hate it. Certainly, this perfume is not for boys.

L’Homme Yves Saint Laurent
L’Homme YSL is a woody-floral fragrance. Its elegant freshness is brought about by the middle floral-spicy notes that feature violet, basil and white pepper. Compelling and charming, L’Homme YSL is a wonderful daily scent. Hip and modern and very easy to wear.

Opium Pour Homme
An oriental gourmet of spice and woods, that is what Opium Pour Homme is in a nutshell. YSL’s Opium anthology is warm blend of spice, vanilla and woods accords. The Pour Homme version was created in such a way that the deep aroma of the black currant and vanilla persists longer than the usual. It’s invigorating and dries down into a very sensual ambiance.

M7 YSL
M7 is raw virility in its purest form. It contains one of the most expensive ingredients - agarwood. Agarwood originates from Southeast Asia and is known for its aphrodisiac properties.  This fragrance is truly intense. Sillage is more than enough. It’s certainly a splendid choice for romantic evenings.

Rive Gauche Pour Homme
Rive Gauche is an impeccable barbershop-type aromatic fougere perfume. This classic fragrance is a well-balanced blend suitable for formal occasions. It’s a tad old-school at first but mellows out and develops into something slightly sweet. There is little fanfare and evokes no desire to be the center of attention.

Jazz
Vibrant and teeming with energy, Jazz is one fragrance that sets the stage for an aromatic woody harmony. It’s a fusion of floral and green accords. Basil and anise at the top followed by lavender, geranium and carnation; the base caps it off with nuances of leather, musk and incense.  Jazz is an all-season fragrance and perfect as a daily scent.

Some YSL fragrances comes in seasonal and limited edition versions. These are readily available in most department stores. But if you’re looking for the old releases, might as well check out discount perfume stores online because most often than not, they are always available in their inventory.
