Yohji Yamamoto Yohji Homme is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2013, created by Olivier Pescheux. Yohji Homme opens with Bergamot, Cardamom, Licorice, and Juniper, settles into a heart of Geranium, Coffee, and Rum, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, Cedar, and Patchouli. Yohji Yamamoto's Yohji Homme carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

A divisive reconstruction for die-hard fans and a quirky, acquired taste for newcomers. Its unique licorice and rum character means it's not a crowd-pleaser, but if you're after something a bit different, Yohji Homme delivers a complex, vintage vibe.

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.

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
  • Rose geranium Pelargonium Graveolens Oil from Geranium
  • 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

Yohji Homme kicks off with a spirited aromatic blast of juniper, sage, and cardamom, quickly softened by a distinct and intriguing licorice. The heart warms with boozy rum and a hint of coffee, offering a comforting depth that blends into a smooth base of worn leather, earthy patchouli, and robust cedar. It's a journey from herbal spice to a refined, almost gourmand masculinity, all wrapped in a subtle musky haze.
