Yves Saint Laurent L'Homme Cologne Bleue Eau de Toilette 100ml is a fresh marine-aquatic flanker to YSL's iconic L'Homme line, launched in 2018. Composed by master perfumer Juliette Karagueuzoglou, it pairs a vibrant sea-breeze opening of grapefruit, blood orange, mandarin, cardamom and black pepper with an aromatic heart of apple, geranium, thyme, lavender and marine accord, finishing on a clean cedarwood base. The result is a luminous, polished men's fragrance — the personification of "cool" in the YSL idiom.
About Yves Saint Laurent
Yves Saint Laurent is one of the defining French couture houses of the twentieth century, founded in Paris in 1961 by Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé. The L'Homme franchise launched in 2006 and quickly became one of the most successful modern men's fragrance pillars, defining the "polished cool young Frenchman" aesthetic. Cologne Bleue extends that line into fresh aquatic territory while keeping the brand's refined, slightly sensual character.

Who it's for
L'Homme Cologne Bleue suits men drawn to fresh, marine-aromatic fragrances over warm oriental or sweet sport-style ones. It is at its best in spring and summer for office, daytime and warm-weather travel, but the cedarwood base keeps it wearable in cooler months for casual wear. If you already wear or appreciate Giorgio Armani Acqua di Giò, Bvlgari Aqua, or YSL Y Eau de Toilette, Cologne Bleue sits comfortably alongside them.
How to use
- Spray onto clean, moisturised skin from around 15 cm away.
- Apply to pulse points — neck, throat, behind the ears and inner wrists.
- Two to three sprays of an EDT is plenty; reapply mid-afternoon if you want the bright grapefruit-citrus opening back.
- For a longer scent trail, mist lightly onto a cotton shirt collar or linen jacket.
Size: 100ml — the everyday format for dressing-table and travel use, presented in the L'Homme line's signature blue-tinted bottle.
