Y Le Parfum by Yves Saint Laurent is fresh lavender laid over a deep, sweet woody base. Crisp apple and grapefruit open it, with ginger for spark and aldehydes for a clean, bright shine. The heart turns aromatic: lavender, sage and geranium, herbal and a little floral. Tonka bean brings warmth underneath, while cedar, olibanum and patchouli add depth and a resinous trail. It launched in 2021 and is mostly worn by men who want freshness with some weight behind it. Voters choose it in autumn and winter, largely at night, and it is also picked for work. Its longevity is clearly voted long-lasting by most wearers, and its sillage moderate. A 10ml decant covers weeks of cold-weather wear, so you can live with it first.

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.
