Caban
Caban by Yves Saint Laurent is an unisex eau de parfum in the luxury price tier. It opens with pink pepper, black pepper and elemi, moves into frankincense and osmanthus and dries down to sandalwood, tonka bean and patchouli. Expect around 8 hours of wear, and it projects at a moderate level.
Notes, explained
Opening
- Pink Pepper Fizzy, rosy and bright. Adds sparkle without heat.
- Black Pepper Dry and prickly. Gives a fragrance grip and a bit of bite.
- Elemi Peppery resin with a lemon-pine lift. Bright and dry.
Heart
- Frankincense Bright, peppery, church-like resin. Lifts and cools a fragrance.
- Osmanthus Apricot-and-leather floral. Unusual, warm and very wearable.
Dry-down
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Tonka Bean Almond, hay and vanilla in one. Warm and slightly nutty.
- Patchouli Damp earth and dark chocolate. Either you love it or it's your least favourite note.
