Yohji (1996)
by Yohji Yamamoto

Loved it from the moment I found it at the boutique in Paris!

I found my self wearing it along with my fave Indigo Shirt /..
pink t-shirt....the fragrance has a certain "Indian" feel to it...
conjuring up an incense smell...

Friends always asked "what is it that your wearing?"
they said it always with a smile....

Yohji is a mistery to me. I received this perfume in my stock after it had been discontinued and was not aware of the huge following.I became aware of it when my clients went bonkers finding out I had it in stock! For the lonest time, I hesistated trying it, as after sniffing it on a card, I was just not into it at all.
Sprayed into my skin was an entire different story! Upon the 1st spray I thought" this is too strong, not going to work on me!" within 15 minutes the dry down was there, and I smelled so good I couldn't help sniffing myself. but then the scent lingers for hours, but what sold me was that the next morning when I woke up I could still smell the scent !
This is a vanillic ambery green perfume,it's captivating, and once you get to the dry down, believe me, it smells like nothing else.
I have a 100 ml bottle that I will treasure for as long as I can !

I wish Yamamoto would bring this fragrance back. It was vanilla but at its most perfect and sexy. Please bing it back!

half a bottle of this appeared in my drawer one day, and while the initial notes are wonderful, actually wearing it gives me a headache and the feeling that I have dowsed myself in brandy. No wonder it was anonymously left in my dresser!

I used to wear this constantly. It is definitely a warm vanilla-y amber-y mixture but with an extraordinary green note that punches you in the face...it always smelled a little bit plastic to me, in a good way. The sweetness is tempered, it isn't the sort of thing that will turn you off, or it didn't me, anyway. In fact, based on the smell of YY, my boyfriend hunted down YY for men, and loved it. mmmm.

The most vile fragrance I have ever come across, I couldnt wait to get to the bathroom and rewash the stink off.It was rancid and so sickly
