The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2014, Art Collection: L'Homme by Yves Saint Laurent is a Woody Floral Musk fragrance crafted by perfumers Anne Flipo, Dominique Ropion, Juliette Karagueuzoglou, and Pierre Wargnye. The composition opens with fresh spicy notes of ginger and white pepper, which are balanced by the bright citrus of bergamot and lemon. Aromatic basil adds a green freshness that transitions seamlessly into a woody heart of cedar and vetiver. Tonka bean brings warmth to the base, creating an inviting blend that is both crisp and comforting.
This fragrance blooms best close to skin. Apply one or two sprays directly on pulse points; the citrus notes will brighten initially before giving way to the warm base notes that linger for hours.
