Description
Named after the sharp, curved Turkish sabre, Yatagan by Caron is a captivating Chypre fragrance that invites you on a journey in the footsteps of daring Ottoman horsemen. Launched in 1976 by perfumer Vincent Marcello, this aromatic woody scent for men has become a classic, celebrating a warm, audacious, and surprisingly exotic temperament.
The olfactory journey opens with an invigorating, bitter‑green burst of pine, galbanum, basil, lavender, and mint. This herbal vitality is underscored by the mysterious, slightly intoxicating note of absinthe (wormwood)—a signature that defines the fragrance‘s unique character.. At its heart, a warm, earthy, and spicy blend of oakmoss, oak, patchouli, and artemisia unfolds, creating a deep, resinous core.. The base is a long‑lasting, sensual trail of incense, musk, leather, and castoreum, leaving a powerful, warm, and slightly animalic signature that lingers on the skin..
Yatagan is a fragrance of contrasts: fresh yet smoky, green yet warm. Described as “full‑throttle aromatic leather chypre,” it is perfect for the confident, daring, and slightly provocative man.. Ideal for fall and winter, this classic Eau de Toilette is an unforgettable tribute to a bygone era of perfumery.
