Eighteen months after the successful international launch of the scent YVRA 1958 L’Essence de l’Essence, Yvo van Regteren Altena presented in 2017 his second long-anticipated fragrance: YVRA 1979 L’Essence de Présence. In his second scent, the headier timbre of woody and aromatic ingredients conjures up a very different mood. It shares its predecessor’s originality and elegance, with the addition of a warmer, more potent, mysterious undertone.
The fragrance is Yvo's dreamy reflection of the year 1979 when he lived in Florence. A year in which everything came together: a love affair, an eye for elegance and the appreciation for high-quality raw materials that are indispensable for a perfect perfume as for a good dish.
Top notes are lemon, black pepper; middle notes are patchouli and cedar and base notes are amber, moss and musk. L’essence de Présence is warmer and more powerful; it is both elegant and comforting.
Available in Full Bottle 100ml or 2x8ml with our Travel set.
The Travel Set includes 2x8ml, in a handy compact size and case to hold the vial.
Sublime scent that smells wonderful for a long time.

Awesome deal
Due to the change in looks of the fragrance, I bought one with the old branding for 50%. That is an amazing deal and boy, these fragrances smell awesome!

I do not like to be asked for feedback all the time. If I have any comments I know what to do, and I’ll do that with pleasure. I was satisfied, it is a good product and delivery was also ok, but that should be it.
