Yasep

The base of Yasep smells exactly like high grade Indian Motia Attar, which is made using sandalwood, musk and jasmine. It is an amazing achievement to get the deer musk and Mysore notes so close to real! I have some high grade examples of these materials and Yasep could fool me into thinking it's built on a base of real Motia. The other notes compliment and fill out the base so the Motia accord is always the star of the show. This means less modern aromachemicals and a more natural, more laid-back feel vs, for example, Tygar. I get decent longevity and modest projection from Yasep, it's elegant and a bit more restrained than average. All of the Le Gemmes by Jacques Cavallier are excellent, this is one of the best but I can also see it hard to appreciate. In some ways this is one for fragrance nerds as it takes some time and experience to appreciate fully process the complexity of sandalwood and musk. Not that Yasep is all-natural or anything, but if you aren't familiar with real, natural ingredients than it's harder to appreciate the quality of the recreation in Yasep. It might do well in Indian and Arab markets with customers who are more familiar with the smell. It'd be great for those looking for a more restrained scent of the highest quality too, it's very versatile and mass appealing. If you're in the US you can get Yasep for a very reasonable price right now, I'd say it's a safe blind buy, lol.

Albeit I stand by my initials words on this, I grossly under sold the point of how GOOD this is. I typically don't drop the "sexy" word when describing a fragrance, but, man, there are little other words I can use to describe what it is. The orange in here is so real and juicy and the vetiver is lending this earthiness to the fragrance that is out of this world in the dry down. Disclaimer: the opening can leave one with the distinct impression that this may lean feminine and is too loud and unbalanced. I mean the orange is like a bomb in the opening as well as the sandalwood. Initially those two notes do fight it out and are admittedly LOUD. But as it settles...my oh my... This becomes decidedly masculine and you'll find yourself lifting your shirt just to smell it again (and again) to confirm that the wafts you're getting is in fact emanating from your person's. Every one that I've smelled from this line has over exceeded my expectations. A fantastic line of masculine, chic and ritzy fragrances. Too bad they're so exclusionarily expensive... That's not a word but you get the point lol

Red, warm and beautiful masculine musk. It's hard to describe it as anything else, although it's quite abstract. I could best compare it to an amber-y blood orange. In the depths, a beautiful sandalwood. Particularly in the opening, a beautiful sichuan pepper mixed with mandarin orange. I don't give a lot of my personal input in this regard, but I would say you get beautiful openings from fragrances like these due to the amazing, natural fragrances used. However, naturals only last so long, and can't compare wit the lasting power of aroma-chemicals. So here, you have beautiful sichuan in the opening, but aroma-chemical musks (obviously, since real musk is prohibited to trade anyways) that take over and carry the fragrance for it's well above average life cycle.

What was I thinking? Ok, this was a blind buy after reading some reviews. I bought Gyan and Tygar and thought this would be a winner for me too. How could I go wrong with a Musky Sandalwood with fresh spices? Well, on me this was a blast of floral cucumber with a powdery dry down. For the price (ugh?) I gave this fragrance an honest try. I gave up and gave it to my daughter. Then it happened. She walked by me and her silage was amazing! I knew actually what she was wearing ... Yasep! The fragrance must have matured into a fresh ambery sandalwood with a sweet vetiver background. Not sure why this didn't work for me but it's amazing on her.

Apparently la gemme line takes inspiration from middle eastern scents and as a middle easterner this fragrance reminds me of a fruit gum I used to have as a kid. Mouthwatering mandarin, a creamy sandalwood, and a musk that gives it a rounded marshmallow like edibility. Smells like a DNA that should be prevalent in the market but it’s not. Strong longevity with soft projection (just like the man that would be wearing it). It’s quite linear, every time I spray it Marvin Gaye’s version of Sunny starts playing. I love this fragrance but no matter how natural it smells or how cool the bottle looks on my shelf, the asking price is ridiculous.

Another gorgeous entry in the La Gemme line from Bvlgari. The perfume opens with notes of Sichuan pepper and mandarin oranges. The dense heart is sandalwood and cedar. The perfume settles on a base of musk mallow, vetiver and amyris. Beautifully blended with high quality ingredients the perfume has moderate to strong sillage and excellent longevity. Regal, majestic, classy, masculine. Enjoy!

Signature scent worthy! This could be worn all year round! It smells amazing to me. You get an orange and a creamy sandalwood with musk, I also detect The amyris. Everytime i wear this i picture the color red immediately. Really safe scent.

Extremely mass appealing. I can’t see how someone could dislike or even be neutral on this. Performance is great but not overwhelming. It’s a simple but elegant fragrance, it kinda just gives off a light cloud of musk and citrus.

This is like a DEEP orange-y smelling fougere with sandalwood and musk. The vetiver's here to add a green grassy element which complements the orange-y smell. Perfect for spring.

Zesty, musky and sweet - really underrated from the line. Not even close to Tygar in the slightest, and the only resemblance it has to the MFKs is the amyris.

The top notes -- especially the pepper -- remind me a lot of Mont Blanc Explorer. Not as strong, but there's definitely some shared characteristics.

Beautiful scent, ridiculously expensive just because of the hype these line received.

I like this one so much it is so warm, tender, orangy and bright.

Just amazing and ubique. No perfume smells like this one.

to me it's mix between Tygar & Musk Therapy from Initio

I really love this perfume, it makes me happy

Sooooo what is this ? It's smells really designer ish ( well , it is a designer fragrance but perhaps I've expected too much cuz it's from the private like ) but with a lil bit of niche touch on it . Got me a bottle of tester , 2020 batch at a nice price . Scent wise , how do I start ? The moment I sprayed this on , it gives me a nostalgic feeling . Something that has been forgotten long ago and now it's circling around me . Weirdly after that , it reminded me of pdm sedley, not that they're similar at all but it reminded me of that . Oddly sweet on my skin as well but it's a great freshie . Versatile , wear this on a professional environment, going to class , gym , what ever you say it , yasep is there for you . Longevity is really great , I went to class at the morning at 10 , sprayed two sprays on me neck , and I still smell these on me neck . Really great stuff . Will I be keeping this around me shelves ? Let's see about it . Anyways to anyone whose reading this till this far , I wish you lads a good day .

Yellow Citrus and Synthetic Amber. Yasep is Tygar's brother scent-wise. It's a fresh yellow citrus (grapefruit/bergamot) with a slightly-metallic cool synthetic amber smell, something in the steps of amrboxan or ambrocenide. There a touch of spiciness to the scent, that gives it a lively vibe and adds a ginger-like touch to the citrusy scent. It's a shame the "musk" turned out to be a synthetic amber. I was excited to see what musky scent Jacques Cavallier make for Le Gemme. I find Tygar the better fragrance scent- & performance-wise. Although, Yasep is lighter, which some might prefer. Yasep reminds me of a lot of a relatively-unknown, now-discontinued fragrance called "By The Yuzu Grove" by Galleria Parfums. That same yellow citrus scent with a touch of lively spiciness. Warm weather, unisex wear that leans slightly masculine. Big "Like".

The longevity and quality is great though the sillage is under performing. I can smell this after 14 hours of one spray on my skin. If you want a sillage beast look elsewhere or spray more. Opening to closing this is a great scent though it is a bit pricey. You do get the “whole” package with that price. Great presentation (especially cap), high quality juice, and longevity. Nothing synthetic to my nose. It is likely one of my favorite high end designer frag lines but is still hard to justify the cost. Great citrusy woody scent with some musk and the right amount of spice. A little creamy and powdery as well. Would recommend year round though best suited in warm ish to hot weather. My wife loves the majority of this line which is rare for her to like any frag I do. Her buying it for me helps me justify the cost.

Hmmm... I’m Switzerland on this one. I absolutely want to love it. And it’s certainly appealing. It’s just, I can’t shake the feeling that Bulgari has gone and spruced up that powdery BLU from the 2000s. Worth the price tag? Certainly not. Good enough as an every day scent which is safe and pleasant. But that is it.
