Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Y EDP
Y Eau de Parfum is the benchmark of modern aromatic masculinity - vibrant, crisp, and versatile with just enough woody richness to leave a lasting impression without ever shouting.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Y EDP
Clean Shaven's Y dupe echoes YSL's apple-ginger-sage opening but plays it flatter and fades faster than the 2018 Eau de Parfum original.

Season and Occasion Fit

Y

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Summer

Its vibrant citrus, apple, and aromatic top notes make Y Eau de Parfum ideal for spring and fall when a fresh yet substantial signature is desirable. Summer works due to the freshness, but the denser woody and spicy base can feel too much in high heat, while winter mutes the brightness.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date

Versatile projection and clean, modern profile make this safe but distinctive for office and casual settings. The aromatic freshness can suit dates, but it lacks the elegance for formal wear and the minimalism for sport.

Y

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer
Also Works:
Autumn

The fruity-aromatic freshness fits spring and summer best, with enough warmth in the base to carry into early autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual
Also Works:
Date Sport

A clean, energetic profile that works equally well at the office or on a casual day, with enough polish for a date.
