Angelos Balamis built Yassemi around the heady summer bloom of Egyptian jasmine and sweet pittosporum flowers, pairing vintage floral weight with a sharp green backbone. The opening hits skin with crisp aldehydes, dark black currant, and bitter galbanum before settling into a warm floral core. As the top notes quiet down, ylang-ylang and heliotrope join the jasmine, creating a dense, waxy texture with subtle powdery sweetness. Underneath the flowers, a dark base of patchouli, labdanum, and ambergris keeps the floral elements grounded. Sandalwood and cashmeran soften the dry down, giving it an earthy, persistent hum that lasts through cool spring evenings. It feels dense, narcotic, and distinctly traditional, tailored for wearers who appreciate vintage floral construction without sugary modern gourmand filters. Show less

Designed by perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour, this modern green chypre balances biting botanical greenery against soft white florals, making it an ideal choice for cool spring mornings or tailored daytime wear in the office.
