Yves Rocher Trimaran 1986 is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1986, created by Jean-Claude Ellena, Lucien Ferrero, and Jean-Claude Gigodot. Trimaran 1986 opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Grapefruit, and Mandarin, settles into a heart of Nutmeg and Coriander, and dries down to a base of Virginia Cedarwood and Sandalwood. Yves Rocher's Trimaran 1986 carries a Statement verdict, a fresh-led wear.

This vintage gem divides opinion: some call it a masterpiece of natural citrus and wood, others find it an overpriced lemon bomb. If you can find a full bottle, you're either lucky or paying over the odds for a scent that's truly a product of its time.

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.

Trimaran 1986's moderate longevity and sillage make it versatile for daily wear, leaning into casual and office settings. Its woody-spicy character makes it a good fit for everyday casual use, while its vintage feel might be a bit too relaxed for very formal events. Community mentions of it being a 'day' scent support this.

About

Trimaran 1986 opens with a sharp, invigorating burst of bergamot, lemon, grapefruit, and mandarin, delivering a classic citrus cologne feel that some find intensely bracing. This lively introduction gradually mellows into a warm, subtly spicy heart of nutmeg and coriander, adding depth without heaviness. The dry-down reveals a sturdy, masculine base of Virginia cedarwood and sandalwood, grounding the scent in a smooth, woody embrace that lingers with natural elegance.
