Yvo van Regteren Altena has been drawn to fine fragrance since he can remember. Travelling the globe as a lifestyle journalist, he met the world's great noses. Sat in their studios, learned their secrets, understood what makes a scent stay with you long after you've left the room. In 2015, he finally made one of his own.

YVRA 58 L’Essence de L’Essence brings together a handful of quietly intriguing ingredients. Fleur d'oranger, cedarwood, pepper oil and the result is something fresh, transparent, and elegant. Its woody-citrus warmth is the perfect companion to the start of a full day. Bright with citrus, it hints at new mornings and that particular lightness you feel stepping off a long-distance flight.

Everything he learned, in a single bottle.
