Our Verdict

YSL's Y EDT and Lattafa's Sheikh Shuyukh Final Edition share a similar aromatic, fresh, and citrusy profile. However, Y offers a brighter, more refined experience with its crisp aldehydes and a higher price tag. Sheikh Shuyukh leans greener and less sweet, presenting a mature, masculine alternative at a budget-friendly price. Longevity varies with Sheikh Shuyukh, while Y offers dependable performance. If you seek a polished, invigorating daily scent, Y is the choice. For a more grounded, economical option, Sheikh Shuyukh delivers a similar vibe.

Our Verdict - Y EDT
A fresh, blue-leaning citrus with ginger and mint on top, apple and pineapple in the middle and vetiver and cedar below. Clean, crisp and reliable for everyday wear, if not the longest-lasting.

Our Verdict - Sheikh Shuyukh Final Edition EDP
Lemongrass, sage and lavender open the way for leather, rose and rosemary, then oakmoss, cedar, amber and vanilla. A green, herbal and less sweet cousin of Yves Saint Laurent Y.

Season and Occasion Fit

Y

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Summer

Mint, lemon and pineapple are cool and bright, so summer and spring suit it. Autumn is acceptable, and winter mutes it.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport

Fresh enough for the office, casual days and sport. It is fine on a date but too light for formal evenings.

Sheikh Shuyukh Final Edition

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn
Also Works:
Summer

Lemon, lavender and sage are made for spring and summer, and the oakmoss base lets it carry on into autumn.

Occasions

Best For:
Office Casual Sport
Also Works:
Date Formal

Fresh and tidy, it is an easy pick for the office, casual days and the gym; it lacks the richness for a formal evening.
