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.

The house
More from Yves Saint Laurent
Yves Saint Laurent opened as a French couture house in 1961 and added perfume to its work in 1964. The scents have a taste for contrast. Sweet coffee and vanilla sit on one side of the range, cool lavender, bergamot and geranium on the other, with cedar and vetiver keeping both grounded. Black Opium is where most people begin: a dark, sugary coffee accord smoothed with vanilla. Libre sets white flowers against lavender and citrus, crisp and a little severe. Y Eau de Parfum is the fresh, aromatic pick over woods, and Opium Pour Homme is warmer, softly spiced and powdery with a dry, herbal twist.
