Yves Saint Laurent is a name that evokes luxury. The house is known far and wide for its fine garments, elegant yet edgy aesthetic, and ultra-high quality—all of which translates perfectly to its fragrances.

For the man who isn't afraid of the finer things in life, for the lover of all things luxurious, for someone who just wants to smell intoxicatingly delicious (and expensive), a YSL cologne is a must. But where to begin? The label has dozens of different scents—some spicy, some sharp, some light and refreshing. There's a fragrance for everyone, and here, your guide to eight of the best. Whichever you choose, there's no going wrong—you might even want to grab a few.

L'Homme Eau de Toilette Fragrance

Woody and sensual, this fragrance is all about charm, sophistication, and class. Notes of bergamot, ginger, and cedarwood make it both spicy and woody—perfect for everyday wear.

Y Eau de Toilette

Fresh and bright, this is a clean scent for men who like the lighter things in life. Geranium, lavender, and incense come together to make a refreshing, elegant scent that lingers all day.

Y Le Parfum

Dark and intense, this cologne is an edgy scent with equally as bold packaging. Lavender and geranium give it a smooth finish, while a base of cedarwood adds complexity and darkness.

L'Homme Eau de Parfum

Warm and inviting, this spicy, woody scent has bitter orange, oakwood, and vetiver—it's like delicious-smelling amber whiskey in a bottle.

La Nuit De L'Homme

It's all in the name—this is for the night owls. With a warm, woody spice blend, this mysterious scent is rich and intoxicating. Pairs best with a leather jacket, probably.

L'Homme Cologne Bleue Eau de Toilette

Marine accord, bergamot, and cedarwood make this aquatic fragrance deep and inviting, while blood orange and black pepper add an unexpected—yet entirely welcome—sharpness.

Black Opium Extreme Eau De Parfum

If this packaging didn't draw your attention, the formula of this cologne certainly will. Black coffee, vanilla bourbon, and jasmine work together to make a delicious, elegant, opulent scent.
