Y Eau de Toilette, made by Yves Saint Laurent, is a bright, herbal fragrance that opens with aldehydes, bergamot and a touch of ginger. Clary sage, geranium and lavender build an aromatic heart, green and a little peppery, before ambergris, cedar, olibanum and vanilla warm the base into a soft, resinous close. Launched in 2022, men and women alike keep it in rotation for something clean but never plain. Spring, summer and autumn all see use, worn by day, at the office and into the evening. Wearers' votes put the longevity at moderate and the sillage the same, holding through a working day without needing a top-up. A 10ml decant lets you live with it across a season before choosing a full bottle.
