Perfume "Yohji Yamamoto": description, reviews

He who loves and appreciates fragrances knows very well how difficult it is sometimes to find something unusual and worthy, something that is unlike the well-worn-out well-known brands or the next hits of the season, which every second lady in the city will smell, if not the first one.

Perfume from the Japanese fashion designer Edgi Yamamoto does not attract attention with a flashy packing or design of the bottle.

However, the contents of the vials are very interesting and non-ordinary. Sometimes among the little untwisted brands there are interesting finds, and this "Japanese" from their number.

A bit of history

Originally, the founder of the brand, Eji Yamamoto, was exclusively engaged in the creation of collections of clothes. In his creations manifested truly Japanese minimalism: severity of lines, maximum closeness and minimum of naked body.
