A woody, spicy fragrance, king of all citrus fragrances, with sharp yet delightful notes, vibrant and confident masculinity, refined, irresistible, a fragrance of charm, one of the finest of all time.

It is the first men’s fragrance released by the house of YVES SAINT LAURENT PARFUMS.

AWARD (1974) from the Fragrance Foundation : YVES SAINT LAURENT POUR HOMME Fragrance of the Year – Men’s Luxury - Fragrance of the Year – Men’s Luxury.

In 1963, the American cosmetics company Charles of the Ritz began working with YVES SAINT LAURENT.

This fragrance belongs to the First Era (1963 - 1986), made in France, and produced at the Yves Saint Laurent factory, which belonged to the same group as Charles of the Ritz, which owned 80% of Yves Saint Laurent.

For the «Pour Homme» advertising campaign, the young designer did not hesitate to shock and even scandalize the bourgeoisie by posing nude before Jeanloup Stieff’s camera. The slogan was «This is my Eau de Toilette, now it can be yours…». This unprecedented advertisement naturally caused a real scandal. 

Glossy red (burgundy) box, with the house’s logo in black at the center, the name above and the other details below in white.

Heavy, rectangular, square glass bottle with curved sides, the house’s logo and the other details embossed in black at the center; aesthetically flawless and collectible.

Round, large cap in red (burgundy), with the house’s logo on top.

The beautiful red packaging and understated bottle were designed by the famous designer Pierre Dinand.

The heavy, transparent bottle was made by French craftsmen at Saint - Gobain - Desjonqueres, bearing the SGD mark, a global leader in glass packaging for luxury fragrances.

The product was imported, packaged and manufactured in France, and distributed in Greece by VIONIKI SA (158 Alexandras Avenue, Athens), and we sold it exclusively as authorized distributors.
