Vincent's story

The story

His best-known creation, Caron's Yatagan (1976), combined green notes of pine, geranium, and galbanum with musks, mint, and patchouli into a scent often described as glory and energy captured in a bottle. He also composed Halston's Z-14 and contributed to the celebrated Estée Lauder Private Collection.
