About Yves Saint Laurent L’Homme Cologne Gingembre

L'Homme Cologne Gingembre is a ginger-and-pepper cologne with a green, watery freshness and a woody base, released by Yves Saint Laurent in 2011 in cologne concentration and marketed to men. Spice and wood are the impressions everyone shares; green and freshness follow for about two in three wearers, with herbs and citrus noticed by a third. Ginger is the lead, fresh, zesty and warm, sharpened by pepper and white pepper. Bergamot and basil add a bright citrus-herbal lift, and violet leaf a cool, green, slightly metallic note. Water notes keep the whole feeling light and clean. The base of cedar, including Virginia cedar, with vetiver, oakmoss and musk is dry, pencil-like and faintly mossy, giving the cologne more backbone than the format usually offers. The character suggests warm weather and daytime, for anyone who wants a fresh scent with a spicy bite rather than citrus alone.
