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 Rainwater, 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 fresh spicy-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.

About

L’Homme Cologne Gingembre opens with a crisp, watery splash of bergamot and rainwater, swiftly followed by a vibrant, peppery ginger that marries beautifully with basil and delicate violet leaf. The initial burst of fresh spice gives way to a clean, musky base of vetiver, oakmoss, and cedar, leaving a light, sophisticated, and all-too-fleeting impression of natural freshness.
