L'Homme Eau Du Toilette YVES SAINT LAURENT

Okay! So I'm a new comer to L'Homme I've tried every other conceivable version except for this original one.
I have to say I was expecting something bland and ordinary from this but it is classy juice and really well composed, instantly put me in mind of Chanel platinum egoiste.
So I'd heard it was a lemon, ginger, vetiver combo and I was expecting Dior Homme sport or eau savage, something quite sharp and dry with the spice jarring against the citrus but I was so glad to get something else from YSL L'Homme.
The top notes are bergamot & lemon and fresh but lead to a soapy vetiver heart with some gentle spice.
What makes this fragrance for me is the base notes of vetiver and Tonka bean it's really nice, extremely well blended and I can't fault it at all...saying that it doesn't blow me away either.
Masculine, suited to spring/summer daytime wear not hugely strong with great sillage or projection but a good fragrance and popular for a reason.

Am i very confused or what? I own both L'homme and Boss Bottled and to me the don't smell similar at all...

Great for the office.
Great for a date.
Great for the summer.
Or spring, perhaps late.

Great in the autumn,
Before leaves do their dance.
Great for the men,
To get in girls' pants.

Unbridled its charm,
Fresh spice; citrusy.
Spray on L'Homme.
All despair, it will flee.

If I only had a man...I would hope he'd smell just like this. This isn't your bad boy, or park ranger, your prepster,or your policeman, or your firefighter, your family man or your dentist, your gangsta, or your beach boy, etc...this is your everyday good man, who leaves them all in the dust. He is comfortable in his own skin, he does not mind putting an effort for you, tries to look clean and put together. Fresh from the shower. Some after shave. That fresh, comfortable scent merging with his skin and seeping through his clothes. He'd don a crisp, black shirt, some black pants...sneaks, boots, whatever. He might have a watch on. He has nothing to hide, nothing to prove, doesn't have to act confident and playful to show he is...he is offering himself to the world just as he is. He of the firm handshake or the brotherly pat. He who greets his lover with a hug and becomes the most polarizing thing in the room. And this is why this is my favorite Men's perfume. This is so fresh and elegant and versatile. Cool, sleek and warm.The guy who wears this is up for anything and ready for anything. Hanging out with his friends. Ready to go skydiving with me and ready to tumble for a few hours. The man exudes unstudied class; There's an air of gratitude and respect of his surroundings about him. And I'd never get tired of him...

Some men would be put off by the sweetness. I happen to like this sweet essence of it, it shows you are HUMAN. The world cannot fall on your shoulders. It may feel like that often and for what I've seen from the many men in my life (friends, family, strangers, a lover or two), you need to relax. You need to be taken care of. Sometimes, y'all need a hug. But this also shows you need to be lusted after. The ginger, spices and lemon give it a kick, reminding whoever is smelling you that while you may have your ward down a bit, your senses are always on. Aren't they always? In result, you come up as unexpected. Unexpected because you're not as abrasive as the many others that scream "LOOK AT ME, LOOK HOW MUCH NOISE I CAN MAKE!!" and come up as obnoxious. You look at her nonchalantly, you know she'll look (you sly dog...). That is refreshing and sexy to me.

There are no words to describe such a wonderful scent. It's not a loud fragrance, sillage and projection are moderate (nevertheless, longevity is very good). This is one of those intimate colognes that drawn the people to you, just like Rochas Man. I believe this is the perfect option for a romantic lunch or even for a romantic dinner in a summer evening. You can't go wrong with it! Women fall in love. Forget 1 Million, Le Male and all that stuff that aims taking people to the bed. YSL L'homme aims taking people to the heavens.
