Extrait de Parfum · 100ml · 30% Concentration · Sydney, Australia
Dominique Ropion composed it in 2018 as the deeper eau de parfum version of Yves Saint Laurent's 2017 Y eau de toilette. Apple and ginger up top, sage and juniper in the middle, a warm amberwood base. Fresh enough for the office, warm enough for dinner, and one of the easiest men's fragrances to wear every day.
Apple, ginger and bergamot open crisp and juicy, with a warm bite from the ginger. Sage, juniper berries and geranium give the heart a green, aromatic lift, like a herb garden after rain. Amberwood, tonka bean and cedar carry the base, warm and slightly sweet, and the drydown is a clean, ambery wood that is still there at the end of the day.

Performance
Formulated at 30% concentration, Extrait de Parfum, the highest category in fine fragrance. Expect 10 to 15 hours of wear with a rich, evolving sillage that opens boldly and settles into a deeply personal skin scent over time. One or two sprays is all that is required.
How to Apply
Apply to pulse points, the inner wrists, base of the neck, and behind the ears. Do not rub. Allow the fragrance to dry naturally and interact with your skin's warmth. For best performance, apply to freshly moisturised skin or over an unscented body lotion. Dry skin absorbs fragrance faster. Oily skin holds it longer. At 30% concentration, one or two sprays is enough.
Care and Storage
Store upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. UV exposure and temperature fluctuation degrade aromachemicals over time. A drawer, cabinet, or wardrobe shelf is ideal. Avoid bathrooms. Kept correctly, your fragrance will perform at full strength for 3 to 5 years.
Formulation
Every formula is built from individual aromachemicals using GCMS reconstruction, the same methodology used by the world's leading fragrance houses. We source exclusively from IFF, Givaudan, and Firmenich, the same suppliers used by Dior, Chanel, and Tom Ford. Never a pre-made type oil. Never a shortcut.
Maceration
Perfume is not finished when it is bottled. The materials keep marrying, the alcohol edge drops away and the base knits together, and the fragrance genuinely changes while that happens. That resting period is called maceration.
Every bottle we send carries a Ready From date on it. That is ten days after the day yours was made, and it is the point we are happy for you to wear it. Treat it as a floor rather than a target. Perfume keeps improving well past that date, so the longer you leave it, the better it gets.
