Yves Saint Laurent 2011 EDC
L’Homme Cologne Gingembre
by Pierre Wargnye , Anne Flipo , Dominique Ropion
Yves Saint Laurent L’Homme Cologne Gingembre is a Cologne launched in 2011, created by Pierre Wargnye, Anne Flipo, and Dominique Ropion. L’Homme Cologne Gingembre opens with Bergamot and Rain, settles into a heart of Violet Leaf, Pepper, Ginger, and Basil, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, Vetiver, and Oakmoss. Yves Saint Laurent's L’Homme Cologne Gingembre carries a Favourite verdict, a green-led wear.
A truly gorgeous aroma, but don't bother unless you plan on respraying every hour or two. This gem's performance is universally panned, making it an overpriced ghost of a scent that only the most dedicated collectors will cherish.What our verdicts mean →

Scent Profile
Composition
Timeline
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.

When To Wear
Best Seasons
A warm-weather pick - at its best in summer and spring.
Best Occasions
Its fresh and clean profile makes it perfect for casual wear, office environments, or even sports. However, the universally noted poor longevity and projection mean it's unsuitable for occasions where you need a lasting impression, such as formal events or long dates.
