Fragrances

m is a warm spicy-sweet masculine with star anise, bergamot, cinnamon, balsam fir, sage, vanilla, tonka, cashmere wood, musk, and vetiver. It feels smooth, slightly cozy, and more evening-leaning than the brighter fresh Perry Ellis releases.

A clean, easy masculine counterpart to the early Banana Republic style, with citrus, herbs, and a light woody frame. It feels casual and wearable rather than dense or formal.

M is the first masculine fragrance of the house and one of its best-known signatures, built in a polished woody-leather style with a deep luxurious smoothness rather than aggressive force. It feels elegant, refined, and quietly powerful, with a distinctly high-end tailored character.

A sporty masculine fragrance with crisp citrus freshness, light aromatic movement, and a clean woody base. It wears in a straightforward modern style: bright, uncomplicated, and easy to reach for when a fresh casual scent is wanted.

M7 is one of the most important modern masculine releases from YSL, built around oud, myrrh, amber, mandarin, rosemary, and vetiver in a dark woody-amber structure. It feels bold, warm, and historically significant as one of the earliest major western oud designers.

M7 Fresh brightens the original M7 profile into a fresher and more transparent woody-aromatic style while retaining some of the line’s resinous backbone. It feels cleaner and more daytime-friendly than core M7.

M7 Oud Absolu reworks the original M7 into a smoother and more polished woody-amber style while preserving the line’s dark resinous identity. It feels richer, more refined, and a little easier to wear than the original M7.

A warm fruity-woody fragrance with sweet freshness, soft spice, and a smooth ambered base. It feels accessible and polished, sitting between bright everyday wear and a richer oriental dry-down.

A dark smoky-woody fragrance with spice, incense, leather-like depth, and a heavy resinous base. It feels intense and dramatic, much more shadowed than fresh, with a bold niche-style personality.

A newer Maahir entry with a smoother, more elevated woody-amber personality and a cleaner modern finish. It feels refined and versatile, less smoky than Black Edition and more dressed than a simple fresh scent.

A bright aromatic-fresh masculine with citrus, minty herbs, juniper-like lift, and clean woods. It feels crisp, energetic, and refined, with a modern fresh profile that still has enough structure to last.

A grand animalic floral chypre that opens with green tuberose, rose, jasmine, ylang-ylang, moss, and aldehydic shimmer before sinking into resins, sandalwood, oakmoss, musk, civet, castoreum, and hyraceum-like warmth. It feels opulent, shadowed, and vintage in spirit: glamorous florals pushed through leather, smoke, and a living animalic base rather than a polite modern floral.

Maaly is a regal Luxury Collection fragrance with an ambered-woody base, musky polish, and a rich Middle Eastern profile. It feels ceremonial and expensive, intended for presence rather than understatement.

A personal, single-theme fragrance from the Tout Ce Que J'Aime series, built to showcase Bergamote in a clean expressive style. It feels intimate, direct, and lightly artistic, with the material kept clear rather than buried in heavy ornament.

The original Macaque was a green aromatic with tea, fruit, woods, and a mischievous primate edge. It feels sharper and more eccentric than the later Fuji Apple and Yuzu editions.

A crisp apple-tea fragrance with tart fruit, green aromatic facets, woods, and a cool forest atmosphere. It feels cleaner and fruitier than the earlier Macaque, with an elegant Japanese-garden freshness.

A yuzu-bright aromatic fragrance with citrus sparkle, tea-like greenery, woods, and a hot-spring mineral calm. It feels refreshing, meditative, and quietly playful rather than loudly citrusy.

A gourmand centered on caramelized almond, rum, and pastry warmth, but presented with the house’s usual discipline so it feels elegant rather than sticky. It smells like a French kitchen at its most inviting, rich with sugar and spice yet still airy enough to wear comfortably.

A 1970s masculine cologne with a bold old-school name and a similarly direct aromatic-woody style. It likely emphasizes herbs, spice, clean woods, musk, and a dry barbershop finish. It feels assertive, groomed, and period-specific, with a confident masculine simplicity.

A muskier companion to Macho, softening the masculine aromatic structure with a warmer skin-scent body. It feels smooth, slightly sweet, and close-wearing, with the kind of 1970s musk warmth that sits between aftershave freshness and sensual oil perfume. The result is relaxed, warm, and retro masculine.
