My first proper perfume when I landed my first real job. Women liked it. My mom even liked it. It was my signature scent in my early twenties.
I am unable to get my hands on this anymore, though. Apparently, it’s discontinued. Had I known, I would have stocked a lot of them.
Back in 2006-2007, it lasted on my skin over 12++ hours. On clothes, much longer.

One of my love in perfume world simply irresistible what else to say love it

So cool! I love sour and this has a sour citrus woody, minty vibe with a certain chic. I am digging the name & theme and the black & white presentation. Wish this was still around, I secured a 50ml for this spring anyway!
fkfk777 – :
this is a good flanker of jazz from ysl. it opens fresh citrusy with a lemon-mint vibe, then the green and woody notes are protagonist of the dry down where u can find the dna of the original jazz. the citrus and woods are well blended giving u a very good summer fragrance.not a masterpiece, nothing for the ages but a very pleasant and a little bit unique scent, so it can be considered a little challenge for a season where the most of parfumes are mass-pleaser and boring. performance isnt great, just decent in longevity and sillage, fits better for 25 and up. right for warm seasons, during work or leasure time. maybe it is discontinued but where i live in u can still find it for a very reasonable price. un ottimo prodotto senza dubbio!

Live Jazz opens with huge dose of cilantro along with some sour citrus but the star of the whole scent is the cilantro. I don’t notice that much change in the scent as time goes, from start to finish the citrus drops when mid comes and there is bit of a sweet amber in the drydown giving some warmth to the scent, otherwise it is mostly balmy coriander.
Sillage is borderline great on my skin, getting wafts of it quite often; longevity is really good but my skin does retain scents usually well so there is that. I find Live Jazz to be mostly summer scent, there just isn’t enough warmth/sweetness to be neither spring nor autumn fragrance. Casual wear is what I have been using this for, it’s somewhat inoffensive but cilantro isn’t the easiest scent to deal with though I’m not big fan of it and I can wear this with no problems. Overall I find Live Jazz to be fresh summer scent for cilantro lovers with some additional notes on the side; great performance but quite monotone with scent and usage.
futlive – :
pleasant smell .citrusy herbal. today got it for cheap.
dotohka – :
The third iteration of Jazz, Live Jazz, released in 1998, a decade after the original, is a significant departure from the original and Jazz Prestige in that it’s much fresher and less spicy.
It opens with a citrus lemon/grapefruit mix and mint, drying down into a slightly herbal heart with some punch via coriander, and finally a base of cedar and ambergris. As with the other Jazz renditions, the woody notes stand out most in the dry down, which in this case is the cedar.
With Live Jazz, versatility is up but performance, masculinity, and a semblance of a more classic style are each lower. It’s a trade-off that makes Live Jazz more pleasing to most, even for use by women, but will undoubtedly turn away those that enjoy the spiciness of the original and especially Jazz Prestige. Still, Live Jazz is a very pleasant, mildly fresh and woody blend that serves its purpose—a modern take on the more classic fragrance.

Live Jazz has a a really alluring opening. The mint to me is done right (nothing to do with Crest or Colgate here). The trio of citrus, mint and rhubarb play nicely off of each other, giving this scent a very refreshing vibe. The arrival of the coriander takes this scent in a spicy and earthy direction. I love how that with Live Jazz the opening of citrus and mint remains as the other notes appear (keeping in true fougere style). As this scent finally settles down we are treated to an amber, vanilla and cedar finish. The base of this scent helps round it out while still maintaining its’ citrusy freshness. Live Jazz is perfect for those warm Saturdays, when you do not know what you want to do, but you know you want to be outside! Wear this under a v-neck t as you debate with your better half if you want to start out with brunch, or go straight to the open air market.
PacTaMaH – :
An almost typical citrusy summery opening that is made interesting by the rhubarb note which adds a curious vegetable taste. The overall effect borders on the mundane but succeeds to escape it, though does not risk venturing in Eau du Hermes land (for example) either.
This indecisiveness (am i playing the Eau du Sauvage citrus game, should i dirty myself up a bit the Monsieur Balmain way, or should i go all nuts like Guerlain’s MdM) is actually what prevents me from loving this instance from one of my favorite houses. Live Jazz is just OK, nothing more. Yes the rhubarb/coriander note is interesting, but the overall ensemble does not deliver.
It’s a good fragrance nonetheless, and actually one of my few bottles (of around 200) that are half empty, hm, go figure 🙂

Awhile ago I ended up with Yves Saint Laurent Live Jazz & a couple ml’s of the original Jazz through a swap.. I definitely appreciate the quality of the original Jazz, although it is a bit mature for my tastes.. Live Jazz on the other hand seemed to be a much more modern youthful & spring/summer oriented take on the original Jazz, so it worked much better for me.. Live Jazz opens up very fresh & invigorating with a citrus & mint combo.. Mint is a very big part of Live Jazz, & it adds a cooling effect to that works perfectly in the warm weather.. As the heart notes start to come out Live Jazz becomes a bit more herbal with a prominent note of rhubarb which adds a unique touch to the fragrance, along with some coriander also known as cilantro & some wild reed.. Nevertheless Live Jazz stays very fresh, light, & transparent with the citrus & mint combo still detectable.. Live Jazz than dries down to a light woody base with hints of amber & vanilla that add a delicate sweetness to the fragrance.. Live Jazz is definitely one of those fragrances that works great when it is so hot & humid that you don’t know what to wear! Live Jazz is very versatile, pleasant, yet somewhat unique in it’s own right.. The original Jazz still lives on in it’s “La Collection” form but unfortunately Live Jazz was recently discontinued, & I was quite upset about that! Live Jazz was never one of the popular Yves Saint Laurent fragrances, nor was it considered a masterpiece like Opium Pour Homme or M7 yet it had it’s place! For what Live Jazz was, it was great! A very pleasant, refreshing, & unique spring/summer fragrance that added some Yves Saint Laurent class to those hot & humid summer days!
Redrik27 – :
I love this one. I was first bought this for Christmas in 1998 by my parents and it was my first real proper designer frag. Every time I spray it I get flash backs of spraying it on my face for the first time back on xmas day 98. As a 15 year old kid wearing this I got ALOT of compliments by the chicks and loved it. Sadly its discontinued now but ive managed to pick up 3 x 100ml on ebay for around 35/40 quid each which isnt bad. I love this fragrance, fresh, summery and energetic and Im now 33, wear it for work, day time at the weekend, in the beer garden I love it and still get the compliments.
Yura1999 – :
I feel like a bit missed my old benetton cold tone, maybe the coriander. but live jazz more complex and manly for me.I love wearing this one for office …
vanes1979 – :
I agree with the below reviewer, the price is going up, getting harder to get. I quite honestly don’t understand the voting results, more likes than love? It’s really refreshing in warmer climate, spicy aroma is just the way I like it. I decided to pick up this bottle because someone was praising for the realistic mint note on this one, unfortunately, I have to search really hard to feel that note. It’s rather short lasting, and I’m guessing that this is because of how YSL decided to make the perfume as opposed to the ingredients/notes that’s in this bottle.
By the by, I haven’t smelled the original Jazz, the note pyramid didn’t attract me that much, but some day soon. From the story that I’ve read about this bottle, Live Jazz, I’m not into listening to jazz music, then again nobody dislikes jazz music I suppose. Lively, a little old, dare I say classic? This beautiful accords live through me, brighten me up every upcoming summer.
Gumpalmracer – :
It smells like a more creative version of Dior Homme Sport. It’s a nice happy citrusy summer fragrance with a hint of mint and a little bit of cilantro to give it a slight gourmand vibe. It was a unique fresh scent for it’s time.
This one is unfortunately discontinued. I remember when it used to cost $30 for a full-sized bottle. Now it’s $90 and rising. If YSL decided to re-release it (instead of another L’Homme flanker), I’d revisit it.
Red.z – :
Very unique fragrance i must say, i didn’t find anything similar to this one. Its refreshing but at same time is kind of warm to the skin, dont know which notes makes that probably amber. Definitive spring, summer scent which i enjoyed a lot
shmakson – :
So ive worn this today and im seriously really liking this frag.
It opens up with a VERY minty,fresh blast with some citrus in the background thats honestly 1 of the most refreshing and cooling openings Ive ever smelled.
However, in the heart it becomes very herbal and green(im guessing from the rhubarb) and reminds me of passing by a tomato garden.Ill be honest this part of the fragrance is ok but only mediocre to me.
About 1 hr in this hits the drydown phase and this almost goes back to smelling like it did in the opening with the Mint and citrus coming back to life, but the difference being that the vanilla/mint/citrus combo is a more smooth version of the opening. This is my favorite part of the fragrance and when I have been complimented on this its always been in the drydown.
Performance on this is only average. Not good but there are worse frags.
This projects for about 1hr and after that is a skin scent and lasts anywhere from 3-6 hours.
All in all id rate this a 7 out of 10 !
Sidenote: This is easily my favorite mint scent and is a very under rated gem.
Also GREAT for those extremely hot days that you need something thats going to be refreshing and not cloying.
zmj418speagoessenda – :
I sooo wanted to like this fragrance as YSL is (was) my favorite perfume house which I used to respect highly (until L’Oréal put hands on it) but I just can’t adore it.
Live Jazz just doesn’t have that wow factor which most YSL fragrances have. It’s not beautiful, bold, characteristic enough. Furthermore I don’t find it very refreshing either as most of you, for me it’s too vanillic to be refreshing.
I’m happy that I have it but I just can’t love it, it’s just OK.
grad2 – :
I find this frag minty, fresh and peppery.
I’m so happy to know that I bought a 1998 batch reading it from raiders of the lost scent.

It is suit, tie, and Old School Jazz..!! What is not to like..??
I have had this bottle for many months and today is my first time wearing. There are several in my increasing collection that have waited patiently for their first time wear..
Out of the box, I am very impressed with the classiness of the bottle – clear glass with cool etching. The cap has to fit “just right” – similar to a puzzle, which is also a representation of the fragrance. A puzzle – what notes are present to you? I can’t decide if I get more of the citrus, amber, mint, vanilla, cedar, or rhubarb notes. The Dr. Pepper of fragrances..!! I lean more toward the blend of cedar, citrus, and rhubarb notes. Regardless of what you “get”, Live Jazz is a pleasant fragrance. Very easy to like..!!
While a pleasant fragrance, performance is a concern. I found that I got only 4+ hours from LJ at only arms length projection during this time period. Flexibility or versatility is decent. Given the complexity of the notes, I believe LJ can be worn for any season, but probably the warmer months are ideal. Additionally, the fragrance can be worn day or night. I see LJ best suited for a more mature audience, 35+, and established. Based on the modest projection/sillage, LJ is easily safe for any office environment.
While pricing has steadily increased, probably due to short supply, it remains an average priced designer fragrance (currently selling online for about $50 USD for a small bottle – not too shabby..).
My final evaluation for Yves St. Laurent’s Live Jazz is 4.0 stars out of 5 stars. It is a pleasant fragrance that I like, but I am all out of love for LJ. The bottle is cool and the price is decent – if you are searching for a good fragrance and don’t mind performance challenges, and just looking to add to your collection, I recommend. Otherwise, save your money and pass on Live Jazz. There are similar options available with demonstrated better performance.
Enjoy your day and make it count. Invest your time rather than wasting your time…
gaara13 – :
A quintessential example of an aromatic-citrus scent. Live Jazz is sort of a special fragrance, in that it’s completely unique and something that will undoubtedly remain in your olfactory memory once you’ve tried it. I don’t wear it anymore, but that’s only because I’ve moved on to other things, and I imagine I may even go back to it at some point in the future. Overall, Live Jazz presents a very herbal, fragrant impression. It’s almost as if it was composed with ingredients picked fresh from the garden and mixed in the kitchen. This can be a good or bad thing depending on what you’re looking for. Some people like natural, herbal spices in their fragrances, while others are looking for something more abstract or synthetic, and try to avoid the “spice rack” aroma that can result. It’s also pretty sharp. What you will get from Live Jazz is a good dose of lemon, grapefruit, and mint up front, which soon gives way to a substantial and uncompromising shot of cilantro. It doesn’t make sense that cilantro isn’t listed in the note pyramid, because I would say this a cilantro-based fragrance first and foremost. Rhubarb? I don’t know, I don’t smell it at all. But if you have never smelled cilantro, make sure to sample this first. It’s a very distinct smelling herb that will either sway you in favor of Live Jazz or make you hate it. Everything else is well-balanced here. Some darker spices in the base, some amber, and an easygoing cedar note eventually bring Live Jazz to a calmer, serene finish, which is in stark contrast to the sharp, unabashedly aromatic opening and heart. This can still be found for a pretty good price, and I recommend taking a gamble on it while you can. Thumbs up (unless you’re averse to cilantro).
dusik142 – :
A good and solid fresh fragrance for spring and summer. It’s nice how generously minty and coriandery Live Jazz is; I’ve always liked those herbs. There’s something in the opening which reminds me a bit of JPG’s Le Beau Male. Nice whiffs of nutmeg and cedar in the base. Longevity and sillage are quite moderate in my opinion.
My father used to have a bottle of regular Jazz around from time to time. Now this stylish zigzag-shaped flacon design finally landed in my own collection, which makes me happy!
almasd – :
One of my favorite Yves Saint Laurent perfumes , the fact it makes me high and happy is that it contains very refreshing formula of mind , grapefruit and coriander which may really be very boring without the touch of the rhubarb ,
it just makes me happy

This is my favourite fragrance and had been using it for many years. Love the minty citrus burst from the start to the creamy rhubarb heart and vanilla drydown with a hint of wood.
славян – :
My Live Jazz/ Dior Homme Sport hybrid has been a home-run for me this summer. Much better and more enjoyable for me to wear than Dior Homme Cologne 2013. Perfect sweet/ sour mix with very good projection and longevity (For a summer frag of course).
AdrianZP – :
In my top 5 favorite Summer fragrances. The bitter vegetal qualities of the Rhubarb and mint, the bright grapefruit. I’m totally in love with the way this feels to wear. Meant for hot summer days, however, like the reviewer below me noted, don”t expect too much projection. I’ve actually been mixing it with Dior Homme Sport in one of those refillable portable atomizers. The bitterness of LJ cuts some of the creaminess of DHS in a nice way.
Mefiv401Negeltzex – :
Nah, don’t expect too many compliments out of this one. It’s simply a fresh, innoffensive juice that sticks close to the skin; nevertheless an excellent pick for hot summer days here in Brazil. At first spray, I was really scared of the coriander note, which was dominant enough to make me regret my blind purchase. It was not the case though: after two or three tries, I could notice the other ones come to play (mint and citrus especially), adding color and lightness to the juice. The rhuburb note is also pretty noticeable and delicious. I’d say it’s worth a try.
Now what strikes me as a mystery is why in this world YSL’s marketing team thought this should be named Live Jazz… few musical styles could be more elaborated and dependent on the individual’s dexterity than a Jazz piece; also, I see Jazz as an acquired taste rather than accessible music. That’s not to say the juice is not good; it’s pleasant indeed, but maybe it sounds more like Live Adult Oriented Rock, lol…
PS: I could also notice the discreet notes of vanilla and nutmeg while cooking this morning, which made it even more appealing. Thumbs up!
felixblyha – :
I remember sitting at a computer helping someone who was standing behind me; suddenly she gasped, “Oh my God! what cologne are you wearing? It smells so good.” My opinion of this garden of exotic notes was upgraded immediately.
Lovetrope – :
Major mojito letdown. This had the makings of a great alternative light summer scent for me, but it began to wear out its welcome. The lemon in the top is realistic but rather sickly because of the cilantro and spearmint that hold ruthless dominion over the whole progression. I feel that other herb mixtures would have been less tiresome. The alcohol also persists pretty badly. The scent is fresh, but it’s TOO fresh, sharp and cold; an herbal mess. It finally starts to warm up a little, and resembles the later stages of CK One with its sort of floral mustiness, though with a little extra redeeming lime. When I sniff the spot I sprayed, my throat burns a little with something like frosty licorice. Later in the drydown, if I can still smell it at all, it reminds me of that little bowl with all the herbs for a recipe mixed together, ready for the chef to dump into the pot all at once, including more metallic anise than I ever want to see again in such a light cheery scent. However, one thing that I will give it, is the fact that it never gets too sweet at any point, which is noteworthy.
artilyclewica – :
A very pleasant mellow smooth and fruity fragrance. I can smell the mint clearly in the opening. The dry-down has nice grapefruit notes. Longevity and silage are both reasonable. Live Jazz is one of the better summer fragrances.
84king – :
Live Jazz is a striking perfume, it captures the audience attention and demands their respect but it puts the wearer at a very serious mode where there is no love or compassion but sophistication, Live Jazz is just the right perfume in situations when hard decisions are to be taken.
14881488 – :
Grapefruit with a hint of mint behind it. I get some cedar in the dry down and am hoping for the amber and/or vanilla to make a grander appearance. However – I really do like this juice. The initial blast is AWFUL. But within 90 seconds has calmed to the grapefruit and mint combo and is really really nice. Very refreshing!

xl29 – :
I got given this in 2000 by my dad’s boss (he must have mistaken it for a women’s fragrance, or thought I was a boy which I’m not ruling out)
That being said I quite like it and do sometimes wear it when I’m in an androgynous mood.
It’s a very green scent with a lot of mint and zesty citrus at the start. Then I got a lot of coriander but it smelled more like fresh coriander leaves not the seeds and the rhubarb adds quite a sharp element to the mix.
So all in all it’s very fresh smelling, very energetic and very long lasting on me, a little bit goes a really long way.
алекс 1 – :
Mint, mint, minty mint. If you don’t like the smell of mint I’m telling you right now, STAY AWAY. However, should you be someone who also feels uplifted and refreshed by the smell of fresh mint then by all means get on the wagon.
Live Jazz opens with a sharp and vibrant blast of cool mint tinged with a great grapefruit and lemon note. Nothing ‘toothpastey’ about it. Though I cannot say that it smells like natural mint either, it definitely doesn’t smell synthetic. Perhaps this is the other notes fuzzing it up. And fuzz it up in a good way they do. While sharp and quite powerful, Live Jazz never feels overwhelming. Strong but not thuggish in its persistence I never feel like its driving a nail in my head. However, I can imagine this being one that would really make you feel sick if you already had a headache.
As Live Jazz dries down a floral quality begins to show. I understand no flowers are listed in its creation, but this is what I get. A subtle and slightly creamy rosy sort of accord. Maybe it’s the rhubarb coming into play as I have no idea what rhubarb actually smells like. But I’d bet my money on the coriander as the doppleganger. All the while the mint plays on while vanilla harmonizes.
Live Jazz seems to have excellent projection and decent longevity. No major quibbles there. But I’d say about 3 sprays max or you’ll really be gassing people. The stuff is so invigorating and sharp that I really don’t see any problem with using it in cooler weather either. It’ll get noticed just fine.
If you’re looking for something very masculine, this probably isn’t it. Very unisex. But if you enjoy mint do try. This is one of the most uplifting and fresh fragrances I’ve ever tried and retains character through and through unlike many that lose their initial charm after their topnotes fade away. Well blended and smelling of quality ingredients. Great stuff.
Thumbs up!

This one takes your head for a spin!
LIVE JAZZ comes in the clever guise of a folding screen. It’s multi-facet panels (literally) reflect the multi-dimensions in Jazz and juice. The design details on the bottle, right down to it’s typography, are all about Contrast. And if you can’t already guess, you’re going to find out why !
The opening blast is lemony cool, high-lighted by spearmint. The lemon and grapefruit are more peel, than juice. The accord is airy, fresh, bitter green, and “ozonic”. A hint of grassy herbs in the background distinguishes this scent from the pack. A cooling and refreshing scent. But sooner than you can pull on a pair of summer shorts; a warm creaminess creeps in. This accord transitions into a “mid” -where the (dinner?) table… Flips !
Amber is the catalyst that begins to “cook” everything in it’s warmth. The herbs morph from plant-like, to food-like. Reminiscent of the minty, lemony dish of seasoning that come on the side with your Vietnamese Noodle Soup -dominated by coriander (read cilantro), and simmering in a creamy rhubarb broth. What keeps this from turning altogether savory, is the sweetness of vanilla in the base, throbbing like a consistent beat. Personally, the addition of vanilla made this otherwise strangely refreshing “salad” a bit nauseating to my nose. But I must admit. This is wayyyyyyy interesting…and will likely leave few heads unscratched.
LIVE JAZZ is a funky trip to Mabel’s kitchen… to hear her nephew’s jazz trio improvise, while she’s cooking ! lol. Certain food-like qualities to this composition (mostly the cilantro and rhubarb) may well be Pierre Bourdon’s inspiration to cross reference Jazz Music, with Soul Food ? (Food for thought, anyway : )
Intellectual shenanigans aside, LIVE JAZZ (as a casual fragrance) is ultimately an unpretentious, versatile, and unique alternative scent. Do I recommend it? It all depends on whether you have room on your playlist -for something as interesting, and as flawed as…well, live jazz !
Longevity:7/10 (base notes)
Projection (fall temperatures):6/10 (in mid)
Art/Creatives: 7.5/10 (bottle and concept)
How: year round, daytime, casual, care-free,
laid-back but not sporty. (Worth testing).
rossihin – :
Forget my previous review. After testing so many other scents, this is now my favourite one for hot weather. It’s so refreshing that it almost shivers the spine. A perfect and distinctive summer fragrance which has an uncommon structure and can be worn both casually or formally: either way you will smell gorgeous and elegant. This never fails to elicit intriguing compliments about how good and different it is. In fact, it is pleasant just as it is unique.
The longevity goes for about 6 hours on my skin, the price tag is fair, and it smells very natural. Very high quality fragrance with high quality ingredients.
An exquisite spring/summer gem!
Prubcobre – :
The longevity of this one is really poor on my skin, which is a shame, as it’s a great smelling frag.
It opens with a zesty citrus accompanied by eucaliptus/mint. Unfortunately – the fragrance doesn’t last, and after 2 hours it is totally gone.
smell: 8,5/10
sillage: 5/10
longevity: 3/10
I don’t regret buing this one (only 30$ paid for a 100ml bottle), but i don’t think i will be buying Live Jazz ever again.
I still have about 30ml in the bottle and i am only using it for my running sessions. It suits my training perfectly – it is green, fresh, and gives me more energy.
strekoza – :
This is a refreshing one! I can’t see why many people find fault with this fragrance. The opening is mint and grapefruit, very zingy and fresh, and perfect for hot weather I should imagine. This is the fragrance that brings to mind sipping cocktails on the beach, or coming in from the hotel swimming pool on a hot day.
Very inoffensive. Yes it dries down to rhubarb and coriander, but that isn’t a bad thing here! So maybe this “vegetable” thing (which I don’t get here by the way) seems to turn people off but to me this shouts out “I’m fresh”!
Personally I think you could do a lot worse than wear this on a spring/summer day. Plus, it’s YSL and it’s at an affordable price for such a house. I find it ideal for the hot weather! I believe that there is always an ideal situation for every fragrance… give this a try on a hot day by the pool and you’ll see what I mean.
incubmailru – :
Very unique, overall pleasant, and for a very competitive price of <$35. To me, as well as many others, I find this fragrance to be good, but not great. And of all the fresh/citrus fragrances in my collection, I doubt this would get much wear.
The grapefruit and lemon note are very good. There is a mint note, but it is heavily synthetic and far from the best mint I smelled. What bothers me about the fragrance however is that there is a strong Cilantro note, to the point where the whole fragrance smells like seasoning.
Don’t buy it just because it is cheap. Sample it first.

For the first 30 minutes, there is a very pleasant lemon and mint smell with very good projection. Then the fragrance starts transitioning to the middle notes. After 2 hours, it smells like an herbal garden with a tiny hint of the citrus lingering. The coriander is energetic, and spicy. The projection is still good. The top and middle notes are opposites. The top notes are cool and refreshing, and then the scent changes to energetic and lively. It feels like taking a relaxing lounge in a recliner, then having to get off my butt and start a workout. From 3 to 4 hours, the projection dies down and becomes a skin scent. After 4 hours, on my skin, the scent is gone. And I mean gone, no skin scent. I don’t even have a chance to smell the base notes.
I am disappointed that the longevity is so bad. I only paid about $30.00 for a 3.4oz bottle, so I can’t complain about the price. The bottle is nice with the words “Live Jazz” frosted on the bottle. The sprayer is outstanding and sprays a large amount in a nice spray pattern. Even with the powerful atomizer, longevity is still poor on me. This was a blind buy. Many YouTube reviewers said this is a great mint based starter fragrance. Unfortunately, the mint only lasts a maximum of 2 hours on me, and I am being generous. Due to the poor longevity, I can’t enjoy this fragrance. What a shame.
sergi2002 – :
Very fresh, cool and green, the mint/citrus combination gives is a pleasant vibe. This is an excellent summer/spring scent. It has good longevity, it lasts almost 5-6 hours on my skin with average projection.
serglipetsk2010 – :
this fragrance masterfully combines fresh and warm notes that’s why it is a great all around frag. One of the best frags to combat heat and high humidity. Its longevity around 4-6 hours with enjoyable drydown.
vichas – :
This fragrance reminds me of SPEAR MINT, thats best way i can put it, its pretty similar to Cartier Roadster but Roadster is a way better mint fragrance, like my man before me said, it has veggie-ish kinda middle dry down but i still love it none the less. Yves Saint Laurent always come through, you guys know that.

belomop – :
I got the citrus at first, which was well done, then something vegetal appeared, but was weak, and then I got very little of anything else. I thought I applied enough but this may be one that you need to spray 4 times or more. What I was able to smell did not seem especially interesting, and since I’m not a fan of “summer” fragrances and already have more than I need, I can’t imagine obtaining a bottle unless someone wanted to swap me for something I don’t mind letting go. If you like the idea of vanilla and rhubarb, there is Ciel Mon Jardin!, for example (and that one lasts, with good projection). I plan to try it one more time and report back, with a lot more applied than for this first sampling. Perhaps the closest I have to Live Jazz now is 2 Rance, which I think I prefer.
Serji43 – :
Mint and citrus, the epitome of freshness in the opening of this one, and quite awesomely, it stays for quite a long time for such light notes. While very fresh, it still has complexity, setting it apart from many summer fragrances.
For those who care about these things too, it is very reasonably priced, readily available and comes in an awesome bottle
