Which Should You Buy?
A truly unique scent that defies easy categorisation. Yohji is a cult classic, beloved for its complex interplay of notes and its distinctive, almost magical, presence. It's a love-it-or-hate-it scent that has people desperately hunting for vintage bottles.
Divisive, creamy, woody, and intensely figgy, this Extreme version doubles down on the original's strengths - if it works with your skin chemistry. Expect comfort and sophistication, but don't expect a universal crowd-pleaser.
