Decanted Sample of L'Homme EDT by Yves Saint Laurent

This is a gentle warm, spicy, sweet classic cologne smell. I don't care for the dry down personally.  This one is too classic for me. However, If you are looking for a classic mix of warm spicy slightly sweet cologne smell give this a try.

I was in search of a subtle fragrance for daily wear, and this one definitely fit the bill. It's fruity, and sort of comes off feminine, but I really enjoy this scent for something subtle and close.

Very nice fragrance, much better than the edp in my opinion

I found this very popular scent to be a bit hard to grasp. I kept trying to categorize it to give it a shot, as I figured if I could call it, say, "blue" or "fresh citrusy" I might be able to compare it to other fragrances and determine if I simply don't like that style, or if YSL L'Homme itself isn't my cup of tea.

In the end, I don't think I ever really figured it out, and it ended up coming across as a part blue and part citrusy fragrance, and I happen to not really like the super fresh citrus or blue fragrances much at all. Thus, I am not the person to base your purchase off of, though I doubt any of us are. But my guess is that if you aren't too fond of fragrances like Bleu de Chanel, or the summer spritzers as I call them (ie: Versace Pour Homme, Versace Eau Fraiche), then you may not dig YSL's L'Homme either. As always, though, get yourself a decant and try it on your skin for your use case. You might find a gem because many people rave about this one, just as they do the BDC's and Sauvage's of the world. Not my style, but all those people cannot be wrong!

Safe, warm fragrance. $110 for 3.3oz ($33/oz).

6/10 for performance vs value vs uniqueness.

Smooth and elegant. Versatility is inevitable. It could be your everyday scent, and it is classy enough to wear to special occasions.
