Good Points
Probably alright for the younger generations
Bad Points
This is not my sort of scent
General Comments
Yves Saint Laurent L'Homme - I'm not really one for modern / contemporary fragrances. I think this smells alright on younger people but its not for me, really. MY thinking on mens fragrances is that its not what the women want - its what you want as a man. The girls don't have to like it - they can get stuffed as far as I'm concerned. And if a girl really does like you enough, she wont care what your fragrance is, she'll accept you for who you are and put up with your preferences. I wear Canali as my signature scent and original Polo on occasions. They're definitely not contemporary. They are classics. My girlfriend isn't that fussed on them but accepts that they are my preferred scents, as I have accepted that her preferred scent is Lancome Tresor (Though I'm not fussed on that either). Anyway, apart from her I still get loads of compliments from other girls - so sometimes women DO LIKE the older, classic scents
To conclude, YSL L'Homme is alright but its not for me. I might buy it for someone in a younger generation than me though.
