Live Jazz

by Pierre Bourdon

Yves Saint Laurent Live Jazz is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1998, created by Pierre Bourdon. Live Jazz opens with Mint, Grapefruit, and Lemon, settles into a heart of Rhubarb and Coriander, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Amber, Nutmeg, and Vanilla. Yves Saint Laurent's Live Jazz carries a Favourite verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

A tragically discontinued gem, Live Jazz is almost universally loved despite its polarising coriander note. It's a fresh, energetic scent that truly captures the youthful spirit of the late 90s, offering a refreshing escape from today's 'blue' fragrances.

Its fresh and aromatic profile makes it ideal for casual and sporty settings, offering a clean, energising vibe. While subtle enough for office wear, its 'toothpaste' opening might not suit formal events, and moderate performance tempers its date-night appeal.

About

Live Jazz bursts open with an invigorating blend of energising mint, sharp grapefruit, and bright lemon. This lively introduction leads into a unique heart where the fresh, almost tart bite of rhubarb intertwines with the green, aromatic spice of coriander. The base then settles into a warm, grounding mix of dry cedar and creamy amber, softened by a touch of nutty nutmeg and sweet vanilla.
