What does Yohji (1996) (Eau de Toilette) smell like?
It opens with galbanum, green notes, peach and pineapple, with mandarin orange and bergamot keeping it bright. In the heart, rose, jasmine and iris build a floral frame while heliotrope adds a powdery softness. Sandalwood, amber and vanilla sweeten and warm the base.
Longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick fall and winter, though spring is close behind, and it is chosen most for nights out, daily wear and evenings. Most voters call it feminine, so it reads as a women's scent. Hervé Léger Hervé Léger and Caron Aimez-Moi (1996) have a close profile.
