Aromara Vector Y is an Extrait de Parfum. Vector Y opens with Bergamot, Ginger, and Apple, settles into a heart of Geranium, Juniper, and Sage, and dries down to a base of Cedar, Vetiver, Tonka Bean, and Amberwood. Aromara's Vector Y carries an Acquired verdict, an aromatic-led wear.

Vector Y follows YSL Y Eau de Parfum's crisp apple-and-sage fougere structure closely at 35% extrait, matching the fresh, green fougere signature well. It's a strong daily-driver approximation of the original's polished character, though it edges slightly sweeter and simpler in the base than YSL's own.

About

Vector Y is Aromara's dupe of YSL Y Eau de Parfum, a modern fresh-fougere built for everyday wear. Apple, ginger and bergamot open crisp and juicy before sage, juniper berries and geranium build a green, aromatic heart. The base carries amberwood, tonka bean, cedar and vetiver, giving a woody, slightly sweet finish that holds the fresh character in place. Built at 35% extrait, it projects well and lasts through a full day, matching the polished, confident mood of the original. This is a versatile daily-driver scent suited to the office and casual wear alike, capturing Y Eau de Parfum's crisp apple-sage DNA at a fraction of the price.
