About Yves Saint Laurent

Yves Saint Laurent History and background of Yves Saint Laurent. Born in 1936, Yves Saint Laurent grew up in Oran, Algeria. At 17, he left for Paris where he showed his drawings to Michel de Brunhoff, director of Vogue, who published several of them immediately. Following a stint at fashion school, Saint Laurent was introduced to Christian Dior by de Brunhoff and he went on to work for Dior until his death in 1957. Read more about Yves Saint Laurent

I have been using this product since 2005 and love it as much today as I did 8 years ago. It absolutely smells like you just walked out of a barbershop with just a hint of spice. Don't think of Clubman by Pinaud or PS by Paul Sebastian, but think Barbasol with a dash of anise and oakmoss.

Is it riveting? No. Is it good? Absolutely. It is my go-to when I (1) can't decide what to wear and (2) want to play it safe, but not too safe. It always draws compliments and lasts a good 6-8 hrs on my skin. With that said, longevity is above average and I say projection is average on the borderline of just slightly below average. With all that being said, I give RGPH a solid B+/A-!!!

This is a nice clean barbershop type frag. Doesn't smell like an old man, just classy like you just finished a nice shave. Good for after the gym or in the morning... I spray some on before work once in a while.. I like barbershop scents even though those fragrances were before my time. Not a date night or evening frag.. More if a clean throwback fun Barbosol smell

            This is the holy grail of classic manly cologne. I've searched for that old school barber shop smell for years and once I found this my search ended. It just smells...clean. I can't describe how great it really is. It's a "you'll know it when you smell it" sort of thing.
