The story behind the bottle.
Yatagan by Caron, launched in 1978 and crafted by Vincent Marcello, is a scent that marries the sharp freshness of green notes with the earthy warmth of woody accords. The composition opens with pine, galbanum, and watercress, creating an invigorating, almost bracing introduction. As it settles into its heart, lavender and mint add a herbal depth, while oak moss and incense lend a smoky, balsamic undertone. This fragrance is a proof of Caron's legacy of blending classic elements with contemporary flair.
Apply Yatagan with a light hand — its green freshness can be overpowering if used too heavily. It blooms best on cooler skin, so it's ideal for early mornings or brisk evenings when you want to evoke a sense of invigorating freshness.
