Description
Y Eau de Parfum by Yves Saint Laurent is a long-lasting, highly seductive fragrance crafted for the accomplished, self-made man. Masterfully composed by legendary perfumer Dominique Ropion, this intense portrayal of modern masculinity is a sophisticated olfactory translation of the iconic Yves Saint Laurent "white t-shirt and black jacket" look. It perfectly balances clean, bright freshness with a deep, brooding, and deeply sensual woody edge.

Additional Information
General Notice: While we strive to keep our imagery up to date, certain brands periodically refresh their presentation. Consequently, the packaging you receive for some of our perfumes may differ slightly from what is pictured.
Mood: Fresh but Rich / Everyday Luxury: This fragrance is a masterclass in contrast. It opens with the crisp, bright energy of green apple, ginger, and bergamot (the "white t-shirt" effect), but quickly dives into a remarkably rich, brooding base of amber woods and tonka bean. It provides an immediate burst of freshness that dries down into an incredibly deep and substantial finish. Composed by master perfumer Dominique Ropion, this Eau de Parfum offers a highly sophisticated, tailored elegance. The clean, aromatic core of sage and juniper berries feels polished and expensive, making it the ultimate signature for the accomplished, modern man.
Occasion: Office / Business / Date Night: The sharp, aromatic freshness of the top and mid-notes projects a highly capable, clean, and confident aura. It serves as an impeccable "power scent" for the boardroom, demonstrating uncompromising professionalism without being overly aggressive. As the scent evolves on the skin, the "black jacket" base of sensual tonka bean, olibanum, and warm woods takes over. This deep, seductive dry-down is highly magnetic, making it an incredibly reliable and alluring choice for intimate evening encounters.
Strength & Projection: High Projection: Formulated as a highly intense Eau de Parfum, this composition is designed for maximum performance. The robust foundation of amber woods and cedar ensures the crisp apple and aromatic sage continue to push through the air for hours, leaving a striking, confident, and long-lasting trail.

The Connoisseur’s Comparison: "For those who admire the sharp, peppery ambroxan bite of Dior Sauvage or the incense-heavy, polished woods of Bleu de Chanel Parfum, Y Eau de Parfum offers a distinctly sweeter, more fruit-forward, and aromatic evolution of the modern "blue" fragrance. While Sauvage relies on raw citrus and pepper to announce its presence, Y EDP utilizes a mouth-watering, crisp green apple accord cut with a sharp hit of fresh ginger. By meticulously grounding this vibrant, "white t-shirt" opening with a dark, sensual base of tonka bean and amber woods (the "black jacket"), legendary perfumer Dominique Ropion has created a modern aromatic fougère that feels simultaneously fresher, richer, and more playfully seductive than its legendary competitors."
