Yves Saint Laurent Y Eau de Parfum

Target: For Men | Character: Bold, Sophisticated, and Accomplished

The Scent of Achievement

YSL Y Eau de Parfum is the definitive fragrance for the man who has reached his goals but continues to strive for more. Launched as the centerpiece of the "Y" collection, this scent serves as an olfactory tribute to youth, energy, and the relentless drive for success. It captures the essence of the modern Yves Saint Laurent man: creative, entrepreneurial, and daring.

Y EDP is a masterpiece of the "Blue" fragrance category—balancing a sharp, cooling freshness with a deep, seductive intensity. It is the ultimate "signature scent," offering a seamless transition from a high-pressure boardroom to an exclusive evening event.

A Bold Fusion of Freshness and Depth

The composition is a sophisticated Woody-Fougère that replaces traditional citrus with a unique, crunchy freshness:

• The Opening (Top Notes): An electrifying burst of Ginger, Green Apple, and Fresh Mint. This combination is sharp, clean, and energizing, providing a modern alternative to classic citrus openings.

• The Heart (Middle Notes): The fragrance evolves into a balanced, aromatic core. Sage, Geranium, and Juniper Berries meet Lavender and Violet, creating a layer of refined masculinity and cool sophistication.

• The Signature (Base Notes): The dry-down is powerful and resonant. Deep notes of Amberwood, Tonka Bean, and Cedar are rounded out by Olibanum (Incense) and Musk, leaving a warm, woody, and incredibly long-lasting trail.

Why Y EDP is a Global Phenomenon

• Exceptional Performance: Known for its "beast mode" longevity, typically lasting 8 to 10+ hours, with a projection that ensures you are noticed without being overwhelming.

• The Ultimate Versatility: Whether paired with a crisp white t-shirt and jeans or a sharp tailored suit, it fits every style and every season.

• Modern Masculinity: It breaks away from "old-school" heavy scents, offering a vibrant, airy, yet deeply masculine aura.

• Iconic Bottle Design: The heavy glass bottle with its signature metallic "Y" sliced into the back is a symbol of structural elegance and strength.

Expert Tip

Y Eau de Parfum is a "compliment magnet" due to its clean, inviting sillage. To maximize its impact, apply it to your pulse points (neck and wrists) and let it dry naturally. Because of its incredible strength, 2–3 sprays are usually more than enough to last you from your morning coffee through to late-night drinks.
