Yatagan is aptly named after a type of short-sword native to Ottoman Turkey, a fitting name for a scent which is as sharp and cutting as a fine blade. I had long been looking for a fantastic pine fragrance, and this is the one - an utterly spectacular aromatic woody scent which will certainly put hair on your chest. As I said, pine is at the forefront of this perfume, and what a wondrous note it is - piercingly sharp, furthered by the pairing of lavender and mint, you’re blasted with this dense green accord which is at once bitter, herbal and fresh-spicy. From here a pronounced woodiness makes itself known, with a resounding musky dryness. Yatagan is one of the most outright masculine scents I’ve ever encountered, it is unapologetic in its confident strut, as it shouts during the first hour of its life. Despite how perfect this smells however, I find the longevity lets it down slightly, which is a shame. Still, for the price I think it is a must-have.
Obviously my initial review was too explicit and has been removed but I was compelled to profanity by how bad this juice smells. I will be more concise and use less expletives this time... Yagatan is awful!
