By the editors · 2 min readLa Yuqawam Homme opens with an unexpected collision of sweet raspberry and metallic saffron, cut through by herbal thyme that keeps the opening from tipping into confection. The effect is both rich and slightly discordant, demanding attention rather than offering easy comfort.
As it settles, jasmine and olibanum emerge to bridge the gap between fruit and leather. The frankincense brings a resinous, almost smoky quality that tempers the floral softness, preparing the ground for what follows. The base is dominated by amber-soaked leather with a suede texture that feels warmer and less austere than raw hide.
This is opulent Middle Eastern perfumery in the grand style—dense, sweet-edged, unabashedly bold. It wears best in cool weather on someone comfortable standing out in a room, though the sweetness might read more approachable than the leather suggests on paper.
