EDP · 2015 · unisex

Yves Saint Laurent's Caftan is a 2015 unisex fragrance that captures the bohemian luxury associated with the house's iconic fashion aesthetic. The fragrance opens with bright bergamot, pink pepper, and tangerine, delivering a sparkling citrus entry that quickly gives way to its resinous heart. Benzoin, olibanum, and styrax create a warm, incense-forward character that anchors the composition, while labdanum and musk in the base add a soft, ambery sweetness with subtle animalic depth. The result is a distinctly oriental fragrance that blends balsamic warmth with musky undertones, leaning into the spiced, resinous side of the family rather than creamy sweetness.

Caftan works best as an evening or cooler-weather fragrance for anyone drawn to incense-based orientals with a touch of citrus brightness. It's unisex in the truest sense, equally at home on a man or woman seeking something with aromatic substance and subtle complexity. The fragrance suits contemplative moods and occasions that call for understated elegance rather than immediate impact. Discover similar fragrances by exploring The Homesteader, The Romantic, and The Mystic.

Fragrance Notesbrand verified
Top · 0–30 min
Bergamot
Bergamot
A sun-ripened Italian citrus with a brightness that goes beyond lemon, simultaneously tart, floral, and slightly spicy. It's the defining note of Earl Grey tea and the backbone of countless fresh colognes. Perfumers love it as an opener because it lifts the entire composition without overpowering what follows.
Pink Pepper
Pink Pepper
Fruity, slightly rosy, and gently spiced, pink pepper is softer and more aromatic than black pepper. It occupies a unique space between citrus, floral, and spice families, which makes it exceptionally versatile. You'll find it in contemporary fresh fragrances where it adds lift and personality without aggression.
Tangerine
Tangerine
Bright, sweet, and slightly candied, tangerine sits between mandarin and orange in character, with a juiciness that makes it feel more casual than other citruses. It adds a cheerful, uncomplicated freshness to light fragrances. At its best in transparent, easy-wearing compositions rather than serious, complex ones.
Heart · 30 min – 3 hrs
Benzoin
Benzoin
Sweet, warm, and balsamic, benzoin resin smells like vanilla mixed with incense, with a powdery, slightly medicinal edge. It adds a comforting warmth and fixative quality to oriental fragrances, and blends beautifully with spices. Often used to smooth and round off sharp edges in complex base notes.
Olibanum
Olibanum
Styrax
Styrax
A complex resin with both balsamic-sweet and slightly rubbery, leathery facets, styrax adds a dense, heavy warmth to oriental fragrances. It has an almost tar-like quality that, in context, creates depth and presence. One of the oldest perfumery ingredients, it anchors many classic oriental bases.
Base · 3–12 hrs
Labdanum
Labdanum
A resin from the rock rose plant with a dark, animalic, honeyed quality that anchors many classic oriental fragrances. Labdanum is simultaneously leathery and sweet, with a raw complexity that synthetic materials struggle to match. It's a cornerstone of amber accords and chypre compositions.
Musk
Musk
The base layer of almost every modern fragrance, a soft, warm, skin-like scent that extends longevity and bridges other notes together. Natural musk was once derived from deer (now banned); today's musks are synthetic and range from clean and soapy to dark and animalic. The right musk makes a fragrance smell like 'you.'
