As a style and travel journalist, Yvo has immersed himself in the world of seductive scents from an early age. Thanks to his interviews and close contacts with several renowned perfumers, he has been active in the world of niche perfumes himself since 2017. With YVRA he aims to offer an inspiring alternative in a world dominated by commercial fragrances. In composing his scents, he is therefore attracted to the world of original thinkers and dandies.
After all, the dandy lifestyle is characterized by individuality and an eye for quality, while usually also being quite extravagant and cosmopolitan. This is exactly what we strive for at YVRA: originality, flamboyance and, of course, always an eye for refinement.

“A great way to explore some fine scents!”
"I’m one of those guys who usually spends a lot of money on perfumes, but this offer seemed a nice way to get to know the scents. There’s enough to try them out over the course of a few weeks and live with them... I have to say: they all have their qualities and characteristics."
“Great way to get to know the perfumes!”
“They all smell good, but my favorite is L’Essence de L’Essence: so elegant!”
“In one word: delicious”
"And that goes especially for 1979 L’Essence de Presence. Why? Because this perfume immediately takes me back to childhood, when I received a piece of green soap for my birthday: Tres Chic by Vinolia. Such a blissful aroma, and I was so careful with it! I only sniffed at it the first few weeks. The bottle is definitely coming."
“A true discovery indeed”
My favorite of the set is the instant classic YVRA 1958 (also my birth year) L'Essence De L'Essence, and I have now ordered it in full size. It's great to see that a Dutch perfume can immediately compete with scents such as Creed Vetiver, Guerlain Jicky, and Hermes Homme, all of which I own, but this 1958 deserves to be immediately included into the international Perfume Hall of Fame, as far as I can see it. Chapeau to the inventor!
“Interesting”
“Interesting flavors that are different from the ones I usually choose. I am positive about ordering one, but will do some final research on my favorite scent.”
“Delightful fragrances!”
“Delicious box with enough content to test out, although the choice is difficult, all are fantastic Yvo! I think when my Creed and Aqua di Parma run out, I will buy 3 bottles of YVRA! Very worthwhile!”

YVRA 1965 L’Essence de Flamboyance in honour of Porfirio Rubirosa, is a seductive fragrance dedicated to the most famous playboy of the 20th century.
Rubirosa was a jet-set pioneer, charmer, race car driver and talented polo player. He was widely seen to be in the same class as Don Juan and Casanova, and was married to the two richest women in the world.
The fragrance is seductive, sexy and very powerful. A lot of high-quality raw materials refer to Rubirosa’s life; for example, hints of leather (Polo) and an ingredient such as pink pepper honours his nickname, the peppermill. There is bergamot, lemon, orange, incense, cedar, musk and lots of patchouli. Sophisticated, refined and very distinctive!

YVRA 1500 L'Essence de Distance is a fragrance so overpowering, so intense and concentrated that after you spray it on you feel almost unapproachable. The surprising top notes are so thrilling that for a few seconds people around you will respect the 1500mm distance.
A spicy woody scent that immediately tickles the nose. There is a strong presence of Osmanthus, an extremely powerful smelling plant that originates from the Himalayas. To calm down the power YVRA 1500 opens with a mix of bitter orange, mint and the transparent freshness of beech wood.
Our precious mix makes l'Essence de Distance an irresistible and even addictive fragrance that people will remember for a long time.
