Yves Saint Laurent Yves Saint Laurent Pour Homme Haute Concentration is an Eau de Toilette launched in 1983. Yves Saint Laurent Pour Homme Haute Concentration opens with Lemon, Petitgrain, and Carnation, settles into a heart of Patchouli, Tonka Bean, and Rosemary, and dries down to a base of Woody Notes and Nutmeg.

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.

Its potent sillage and longevity make it a bit much for the office unless applied very sparingly. However, its sophisticated and classic scent profile makes it excellent for formal events and dates, while its 'manly freshness' allows for casual wear too.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Explodes with a potent lemon and lively petitgrain, sharpened by a hint of carnation. This bright opening mellows into an aromatic heart, where earthy patchouli and herbaceous rosemary intertwine with the creamy warmth of tonka. The drydown unveils a robust woody base, underscored by a dry, spicy nutmeg that lingers for hours, delivering a scent that's both fresh and deeply grounding.
