Caron Yatagan Men Eau de Toilette 125 ml

Product Information

Uncompromising and yet not strident, Yatagan's medium projection hits that ‘just right' spot on the dial which means it can be worn and appreciated in all sorts of company – even one's own, of course. If you have a thing for feral greens in the mode of say Eau de Campagne or Coven, here's one worth trying that has a patina of refinement. The one misstep is the inclusion of some bubble-gum sweetness which it could easily have done without. Perhaps Yatagan works because it is both bold and familiar. This is the sort of fragrance a hiker would adore for its transportive power. There are several scents, such as Profumum Roma’s Arso and CB I Hate Perfume’s Winter 1972, that also present photorealistic images of wood. However, Yatagan’s the only perfume I’ve smelled that nails the smell of the woods as a place instead of as an object.

I’ve been thinking about the wonderful yet inexpensive perfumes out there. There are many well considered, beautifully made perfumes that you can buy for a song. Cheap or pricy, though, the best perfumes must stand up to the same criteria. Is it coherent and balanced? Does it hold up over time? Does it captivate you, that is, would you wear it as your only perfume? Crucial: does it smell good? Is it ‘you’? Does it remain engaging throughout the entire day? Will it last that long? Would you want it to? Does it work for you in all the compartments of your life: At work? Cooking? Socializing? Cruising? In a class? On the subway?The time to go is never right when we say goodbye # While Can is here we shouldn't waste a day in life to say I love you If I did not have this childhood experience, to this fragrance, I would be unable to describe it adequately. Le 3ème Homme, or The Third Man, borrows its name from the eponymous 1949 Orson Welles movie – incidentally, it's also the third masculine fragrance by Caron, released in 1985. Deloc chypre, bland sau firav, Caron Yatagan se manifesta cu o intensitate care traverseaza simturile pana in cel mai profund plan. Seduce de la prima pulverizare, fara a mai fi nevoie de alte acte de demonstratie pentru a convinge ca este un parfum care isi merita aprecierea si valoarea. Este destul de bland incat sa nu devina inecacios, dar si extrem de masculin incat sa se reliefeze in fata altor parfumuri pentru barbati. This is near all-season wear. It’s an easy spray and go in the fall and winter. You have to be more careful in spring and summer and can only wear it in cool temperatures.

The visit asks about the bearskin that was draped so casually-beautifully on the Divan, just to find out that it fell to the former officer (so much we already know) during a Balkan offensive. Separated from most of his regiment in the snowy skirmishes, he had no choice: without the warmth of the bearskin (and, please, his still steaming intestines!), he and his adjutant would hardly have survived the night. It turns out during the afternoon that his life was woven from such episodes. He was one of those men to whom the inner call of the adventure came at least as loudly to the ear as the call of duty. Rhodesia, Indo-China, Asia Minor. Monstrous stories, even more monstrous hints. On the table, Rilke's Malte Laurids Brigge. In a way, a double man, double enormous, in which not, as in us, civilization and savagery lead the eternally same, eternally murky battles, but both, in that the elements were at the same time led to their extremes, experienced a dialectical envelope as it were. Another uncanny, awe-inspiring realization of human possibilities. Compared to the modern formula, the opening and heart stages of this vintage feel considerably more green (stronger galbanum and moss notes, I think), bitter and vaguely poisonous (more wormwood and/or artemesia), earthy and damp, like forest greenery and soil. It feels more "cool" and slightly sinister. The bitter mossy green tone reminds me of a smoother Aramis Devin, which is not a parallel I ever drew with the modern formula. I think there's less celery, or it's more of a raw celery vs. toasty celery salt. Vintage = more bitter, green, mossy, cool, earthy, better proportioned animalics; a clear cyphre. Modern = warmer, sweeter, more powerful, full animalics and leathery feel, but with less grace and proportionality without the offsetting moss. With too much heat, it becomes suffocating. As for occasions, it is all. The mass appeal and likability are average.Yatagans were not only weapons but works of art, incorporating expensive materials like ivory, silver and copper gilt; the yatagan hilts were often encrusted with jewels — diamonds, rubies, emeralds, and coral. Many yatagans have lines from literature engraved or inlaid into the flat sword blade; these literary lines can be intensely personal expressions of the owner or sword maker, or favorite lines from poetry, prayers, or Koranic texts. A strange thought: being run through with a sword engraved with poetry extolling the beauty of the world, a prayer for protection, or holy verses.

I don't have signature fragrances any more – times have changed and in the 70's when there were only a few male scents around, it was possible, but now, I have about 30 bottles in my collection – excessive, I know, but I enjoy collecting and wearing perfume – it's almost a fetish. After this period, it recedes closer to the skin, never becoming a skin scent. The sillage is as good. It has a woody depth to hang in the air as you move around. This performance is with three sprays. Caron introduced Yatagan in 1976 and categorized it as a "flowerless" oriental chypre fragrance; it was created by perfumer Vincent Marcello. Yatagan contains petitgrain, lavender leaf, geranium leaf, pine, fennel, basil, artemisia, oak moss, musk, woods, patchouli, castoreum, labdanum and styrax ( Liquidambar orientalis). Caron may have been encompassingly vague in their marketing language, dimly offensive in their oriental allusion, but fortunately direct and brave in their fragrance. Yatagan has that striking balance of starkness and richness found in the best and most distinctive of perfumes. Baza este bogata in pamant, la fel ca in aer liber, dupa o ploaie torentiala. Este calmanta, iar notele sunt bine mixate. Nota de pamant devine si mai profunda pe masura ce notele olfactive se desprind putin cate putin din topica parfumului. Mirosul sau fierbinte aminteste a lemn incis sub briza incandescenta a soarelui de vara.

PhillippM – I have since bought a very large bottle of Royal Bain de Caron and I like the musky – vanilla smell of it. It's very comforting and nice to wear, but I still like my stronger fragrances for special nights out. This is a great day fragrance for me, but after reading about your love of Guerlain's Habit Rouge for 30 years, I can see similarities. Wow that's quite a signature fragrance for you! All the notes in Le 3ème Homme meld in a smooth and consistent flow, from which you might be able to find a good amount of floral notes—think geranium, but somewhat sweeter, along with a dash of bergamot and maybe a pinch of tarragon over some decidedly light vetiver. Lastly, the uniqueness is excellent. There’s nothing else that comes close to this quality, authenticity, and blend. Besuited Aroma gives Caron Yatagan a 9.1 out of 10 rating.
