Alright, folks, let’s dive into my little experiment with YSL’s L’Homme EDP. I’ve been wearing this scent for a while now, through different seasons, and I’m ready to spill the beans on what I’ve found.

First off, I grabbed a bottle of this stuff because, well, I’m a sucker for anything that smells woody. And the buzz around L’Homme, saying it’s all sophisticated and whatnot, that got me curious too. So, I started wearing it daily, you know, just to see what the fuss was about.
- Sprayed it on in the morning before heading out.
- Noticed it had a pretty decent projection for the first hour or so. People around me could actually smell it, which is always a plus.
- Checked in a few hours later, and it had calmed down quite a bit. Became more of a close-to-the-skin kind of scent.
I kept this up, wearing it to work, out with friends, even just lounging around at home. I wanted to see how it held up in different situations. And honestly, it was pretty consistent. That first hour, it’s there, making its presence known. After that, it’s like it decides to chill out and stick closer to you.
My Honest Thoughts
Now, I’m not gonna lie, I was hoping for a bit more oomph. It’s not that it’s weak, it’s just…moderate. And for an Eau de Parfum, you kinda expect it to go the distance, right? But, on my skin, it just didn’t last as long as some other fragrances I’ve tried. Those top 10 lists with super strong, long-lasting scents? Yeah, L’Homme didn’t make the cut for me.
But here’s the thing – it still smells good. That woody vibe is definitely there, and it’s got that classy feel that people talk about. It’s just not a powerhouse, at least not on me. So, I ended up using it more for those times when I wanted something a bit more subtle, like a casual day out or when I didn’t want to overpower a room.
Would I buy it again? Maybe. It’s not my holy grail of fragrances, but it’s nice to have in the rotation. If you’re into woody scents and you don’t need something that’s gonna last you through a marathon, then it’s worth checking out. Just don’t expect it to be the king of longevity. That’s my two cents on L’Homme EDP, hope it helps you out!
