The story behind the bottle.
L'Homme Parfum Intense by Yves Saint Laurent was launched in 2013 and is a composition that balances fresh citrus notes with the rich warmth of amber and leather. Perfumed by Anne Flipo and Dominique Ropion, it opens with lemon and bergamot, giving way to orange blossom and violet leaf. These lighter elements are gradually enveloped by woody and animalic accords, anchored by benzoin and cedar, resulting in a scent that is both crisp and deeply sensual.
The fragrance captures the essence of modern elegance, blending the freshness of citrus with the luxurious warmth of ambergris and suede. It's a proof of Yves Saint Laurent’s enduring legacy of combining contemporary style with lasting sophistication.
Apply L'Homme Parfum Intense with two sprays to pulse points. The fresh top notes will dissipate within a couple of hours, but the woody and amber base notes will linger for much longer. This fragrance reads better close to skin rather than across a room, so layering it on key areas ensures its warmth and depth are felt throughout the day.
