Yohji Essential 1998
Description
The story behind this fragrance
Sharp green galbanum and bright grapefruit burst open with chamomile's soft herbal calm, then drift into a luminous heart where ylang-ylang curves around delicate lily-of-the-valley, raspberry's tart whisper, and freesia's almost sweet musk. Rose settles into the floral bed, grounding the brightness. As Yohji Essential 1998 settles, amber and sandalwood emerge warm and creamy beneath a subtle earthiness from patchouli, fading to a soft, woody amber on skin.
