Yohji Yamamoto Femme is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Olivier Pescheux. Femme opens with Bergamot, Pear, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Iris, and Lily of the Valley, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Heliotrope. Yohji Yamamoto's Femme carries a Favourite verdict, a fruity-led wear.

A subtle, elegant embrace that dances between modern femininity and classic melancholy. Yohji Yamamoto Femme might be 'wimpy' to some, but for others, it's a nostalgic, refined whisper perfect for those who prefer understated allure.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Best Occasions

Best For:

Also Works:
Date Formal

Its subtle projection and clean, soft character make it ideal for office wear and casual daytime outings without offending. While elegant enough for some evening events, its softer presence means it wouldn't dominate in a formal setting.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

Declarable under EU Annex III

  • Bergamot Citrus Aurantium Bergamia Peel Oil from Bergamot
  • Sandalwood Santalol from Sandalwood
  • Synthetic musk Hexamethylindanopyran from Musk

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Opens with a bright burst of blackcurrant and pear, softened by bergamot before settling into a sophisticated heart of powdery iris, dewy lily-of-the-valley, and delicate jasmine. The dry-down reveals a comforting blend of creamy sandalwood, heliotrope's almondy sweetness, and a clean, musky cedar base that lingers softly on the skin.
