La Collection Jazz

by Jean-François Latty

Yves Saint Laurent La Collection Jazz is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2011, created by Jean-François Latty. La Collection Jazz opens with Coriander, settles into a heart of Cypress, Geranium, Artemisia, and Tarragon, and dries down to a base of Patchouli. Yves Saint Laurent's La Collection Jazz carries an Acquired verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

A divisive scent, but for those who know, YSL's Jazz La Collection delivers on its promise to evoke the original. It's a proper aromatic fougere with barbershop charm.

About

Opens with a sharp, green coriander that quickly settles into a sophisticated herbal heart of cypress, geranium, artemisia, and tarragon. This gives way to an enduring, earthy patchouli base with hints of a soothing shaving cream accord, creating a warm, spicy, and subtly woody drydown.
