The story behind the bottle.
Yama by Houbigant, launched in 1967, is a fragrance that encapsulates the elegance and refinement of its French heritage. This aromatic composition opens with a crisp blend of citrus and green notes, creating an immediate sense of freshness and clarity. As it evolves, a heart of lavender and geranium adds a subtle floral touch, balancing the overall effect. The base notes of patchouli and musk provide warmth and depth, grounding Yama in a lasting, masculine aura.
Apply Yama in light sprays to allow its layers to unfold naturally. The citrus-green opening is bright but fleeting, so focus on the base notes that provide lasting warmth throughout the day. Best suited for daytime wear when the fresh top notes can shine without overpowering.
