Y

Y Eau de Parfum by Yves Saint Laurent is a bold, confident fragrance designed for the modern man who knows exactly who he is. Released in 2018, this Eau de Parfum takes the fresh Y concept and amplifies it with richer, more intense ingredients that make a stronger statement.

The opening is crisp and energetic. Apple provides a juicy, clean freshness, while ginger adds a bright, spicy zing.

Bergamot rounds out the top with its classic citrus elegance. Together, these notes create an opening that is both youthful and sophisticated, like putting on a sharp suit for a night out.

The heart is where the fragrance builds its aromatic character. Sage and juniper berries bring herbal, slightly medicinal freshness with a gin-like quality.

Geranium adds a rosy, minty brightness. Lavender and juniper also weave through the composition as general notes, providing aromatic depth at every stage.

Olibanum, also known as frankincense, adds a subtle resinous quality that gives the heart a slightly sacred, meditative dimension. The base is warm and substantial.

Amberwood provides a rich, golden warmth, while tonka bean adds sweet, slightly caramelized depth. Cedar and more olibanum create a structured woody framework, and vetiver contributes smoky earthiness that grounds everything firmly.

With dominant aromatic and woody accords supported by prominent fresh spicy, warm spicy, amber, and fruity qualities, Y EDP occupies the sweet spot between fresh and warm. It has enough freshness for daytime wear but enough depth and richness for evening.

The moderate gourmand and herbal accords add layers of interest that reveal themselves throughout the day. It projects well without being aggressive, lasts impressively on skin, and consistently earns compliments.

A versatile modern fragrance that performs well in virtually any situation.
