Yohji Yamamoto Unravel 07/14

Unravel 07/14 unfolds with a sharp, almost metallic brightness—aldehydes cutting through citrus warmth, bergamot and mandarin orange creating a luminous opening that feels crystalline and precise. The heart softens into iris's powdery, slightly green iris root, threaded with hawthorn's faint floral bite and freesia's clean, almost soapy whisper. As it settles, sandalwood lends creamy texture while white musk and ambergris—subtle, skin-like—anchor the composition in a delicate, somewhat abstract finish. The elemi resin hums beneath, adding a restive, almost resinous tension that keeps the fragrance from ever feeling fully settled.
