Yohji Homme possesses a distinct profile from other masculine scents despite using notes that are no stranger to the market. First released in 1999, it was then reintroduced to the current decade alongside other classic Yohji Yamamoto fragrances. Yohji Homme originally included coriander, bergamot, anise, lavender, cinnamon, licorice, leather and rum as its notes. Jean-Michel Duriez concocted this in the 1990s, only to be reformulated in 2012 by Olivier Pescheux to comply to updated regulations for fragrances.
