About
Yatagan by Caron is a Aromatic Green fragrance for men. Yatagan was launched in 1978. The nose behind this fragrance is Vincent Marcello. Top notes are Pine, Galbanum, Basil, Watercress, Lavender and Mint; middle notes are Artemisia, oak moss, Oak and Patchouli; base notes are Castoreum, Woodsy Notes, Incense and Musk. The fragrance, named after the sharp, curved Turkish saber Yatagan, is an invitation to join an adventure on the traces of Ottoman horses. It’s exotic, mysterious sonority is reminiscent of oriental and adventurous destinies. The clinging warm, bold, and sensual scent resembles an extremely rare oriental wood that was used as incense in Hindu homes for centuries. Yatagan’s wood notes mixed with subtle undertones of herbs such as galbanum, patchouli, incense, Artemisia and mint make this a perfect fall and wintry scent.
