Yatagan by Caron is a bold and distinctive aromatic green fragrance crafted for men who appreciate depth and character. First launched in 1978 and composed by perfumer Vincent Marcello, this classic scent is inspired by rugged landscapes and raw masculinity.
The fragrance opens with an intense burst of pine, galbanum, basil, watercress, lavender, and mint—creating a sharp, herbal freshness. As it settles, earthy nuances of artemisia, oakmoss, oak, and patchouli emerge, adding a dark, resinous complexity. The dry-down reveals an unforgettable base of castoreum, smoky woods, incense, and musk, giving the scent an animalic, warm, and deeply commanding finish.
Yatagan is not for the faint of heart—it’s a statement fragrance for those who embrace confidence, mystery, and unapologetic individuality.
