Eden Perfumes No.217 Y is an Eau de Parfum. No.217 Y opens with Bergamot and Ginger, settles into a heart of Juniper and Sage, and dries down to a base of Musk, Cedar, and Incense. Eden Perfumes's No.217 Y carries a Favourite verdict, a fresh-led wear.

No.217 mirrors Yves Saint Laurent's Y with a fruity-bergamot opening running into a woody, faintly incensed dry down, but plays it safer and lighter than the original's bolder ginger-and-incense signature, fading noticeably sooner.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Eden's No.217 is inspired by Yves Saint Laurent's Y, a modern fresh-woody fragrance built to balance everyday freshness with real character. The opening leans on juicy bergamot with a touch of ginger spice, giving a clean, energetic first impression well suited to smart-casual wear. Through the middle, aromatic sage and juniper keep things crisp and outdoorsy before the base settles into a warm woody-incense accord of cedar and soft musk, echoing the original's fresh-yet-serious dry down. It reads as an easy, versatile daytime scent, safe enough for the office yet with just enough edge for going out afterwards. The main gap versus the designer version is intensity and depth - YSL's Y builds a richer, more resinous incense note in its base that carries real weight and projects for hours, while No.217 keeps things lighter and fresher throughout, fading to a simple woody-musk finish well before the original would still be going. For anyone who likes the fresh-aromatic-woody profile without wanting a heavy statement scent, No.217 is a comfortable, wearable everyday alternative, just don't expect the same lasting power after the first few hours.
