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.

The community verdict
Wear time divides between moderate and long-lasting for Y Eau de Toilette, while moderate projection draws the largest group, with strong next. Bergamot and ginger lead into lavender and clary sage, then cedar. It fits spring days best, with summer and the office also working.

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.
