Yves Saint Laurent Y Eau de Parfum

- Try before the full bottle
- Travel-ready 3ml, 10ml, 30ml
- Long-lasting scent
From Yves Saint Laurent, Y Eau de Parfum is fresh and aromatic up top, then warm and woody underneath. Apple, ginger and bergamot give it a crisp start with a little bite. Sage and juniper berries push it into herbal territory, while geranium keeps the heart green. The base brings amberwood and tonka for warmth, with cedar, vetiver and olibanum drying it down to a smooth, woody finish. It launched in 2018 and is mostly worn by men who want one scent that handles both the desk and dinner. Voters like it in spring and autumn, by day and at night, and it is a steady work choice. Most wearers vote it long-lasting. The sillage vote leans moderate. A 10ml decant gives you enough weeks to see if it earns a place on your shelf.
