Live Jazz by Yves Saint Laurent, from 1998 and composed by Pierre Bourdon, is a spicy citrus scent for men. Spice and citrus lead equally, with gourmand, woody, aromatic and amber facets in support.
The opening combines lemon, mint and grapefruit, a cool, zesty and slightly bitter freshness. The heart brings rhubarb's tart, green sourness and coriander's peppery, citrusy spice. In the base, amber adds a warm glow, cedar dry wood, nutmeg a soft spice and vanilla a gentle sweetness that rounds the composition.
Most wearers report moderate longevity, and the trail is mostly moderate. It is voted for summer and spring, mainly for daytime. Live Jazz suits office wear, warm days and casual outings, for someone who wants a lively, citrusy-spicy scent with a gentle warm finish that stays fresh but not sharp.
