L’Homme Sport: A new men’s perfume by YSL

After La Nuit de L’Homme in 2009, the saga of the legendary perfume L’Homme by Yves Saint Laurent continues with the launch of L’Homme Sport last May.

This new Anne Flipo and Juliet Karagueuzoglou (IFF) signature fragrance reveals a new take on masculinity according to Yves Saint Laurent. Cool and woody, with accents of bergamot aldehyde, combined with the freshness of verbena and a hint of petrol elemi, create a powerful, elegant and refined scent. L’Homme Sport is a sensual formula, its notes sleek and deep, which reveals the intensity of amber cedar in its wake. This bold fragrance envelops men in a masculine and virile aura, and a freshness that crescendos like an adrenaline rush.

Naturally, to best embody this air of masculinity, Yves Saint Laurent has named the face of L’Homme Sport the one and only Olivier Martinez. The actor, ambassador of Yves Saint Laurent’s L’Homme since 2006, shows a new facet of his personality. Stylish and confident, Olivier Martinez reveals his passion for the thrill, riding a motorcycle on a water bed in the desert. Its’ branding is in total harmony with his passions – motorcycling, sports and sailing.

On the occasion of the release of L’homme Sport by Yves Saint Laurent on the 5^th of May, we met Olivier Martinez. Check out our interview here.
