Yves Saint Laurent Y

by Dominique Ropion , Claire Liégent

Yves Saint Laurent Yves Saint Laurent Y is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2017, created by Dominique Ropion and Claire Liégent. Yves Saint Laurent Y opens with Mint, Aldehydes, Ginger, and Bergamot, settles into a heart of Violet Leaf, Pineapple, Apple, and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Vetiver, Fir Resin, Musk, and Cedar. Yves Saint Laurent's Yves Saint Laurent Y carries a Favourite verdict, a woody-led wear.

YSL Y EDT is a quintessential 'blue' fragrance - fresh, clean, and universally appealing. While some lament its alleged lack of uniqueness, it's a reliable crowd-pleaser that delivers on scent, if not always on longevity, making it a solid everyday choice.

About

It bursts open with a vibrant, zesty hit of aldehydes, bergamot, and ginger, sharpened by a cool mint. This invigorating start mellows into a fruity heart of crisp apple and juicy pineapple, layered over green violet leaves and the subtle spice of geranium. The dry down retains a fresh cleanliness, anchored by earthy vetiver and musk, with a hint of warm ambergris and refined cedar for depth. It's a journey from sparkling freshness to a comfortably clean, woody base.
