by Vincent Marcello

Parfums Caron Yatagan is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1978, created by Vincent Marcello. The fragrance opens with Lavender, Basil, Mint, and Pine, settles into a heart of Oak, Patchouli, Oakmoss, and Artemisia, and dries down to a base of Incense, Castoreum, Woody, and Musk.

Our verdict on Yatagan: Statement

Yatagan is a scent for proper blokes. It's a challenging, unapologetically masculine classic that splits opinion between an 'old school masterpiece' and 'celery and bug spray'. Definitely not a safe blind buy, but if you're up for it, it screams confident swagger.

Its potent, dense notes and animalic edge make it a challenging fit for the office, though some find it 'office safe' in moderation. The strong, unique character and moderate sillage lend themselves better to casual wear or intimate, rugged dates, especially in cooler weather.

About

Yatagan opens with a bracing forest blast of pine and galbanum, sharpened by basil and mint. A herbal heart of oakmoss and artemisia soon emerges, giving way to a rich, animalic dry down. Castoreum, woody notes, and incense create a primal, earthy, and leathery base. No sweetness here, just pure, unadulterated ruggedness.
