Y Eau de Parfum 200ml

With both light and dark fougère facets, Y Eau de Parfum blends sophistication, sensuality and strength, echoing the multifaceted personality of the YSL man.

At the top of the scent is a zingy olfactive explosion of bergamot and ginger – the freshness is intensified by a fruity apple accord.
Sitting beneath is a green breeze of sage and juniper combined with the menthol sportiness of Geranium essence and absolute.
The background of the scent affords Y Eau de Parfum its masculine strength, with the intensity of amber wood playing off against nots of olibanum.

EDGY. The scent opens with a chill splash of crunchy green apple and sparkling bergamot, with a bracing bite of gin-cool juniper berries.

YCONIC. In the heart notes, Y Eau De Parfum blends the quintessential fougère ingredients with facets of mint, litchi, lemongrass and geranium, the tougher brother of roses. It also blencd lavender, the scent of clean for millennia with ambery clary sage and almond-scented coumarin to balance out the aromatic accord with their warmer, sexier tones.

WHITE. In a bold move for a masculine composition, Dominique Ropion boosts the cool lavender-geranium combo with the crisp, fresh-ironed shirt scent of aldehydes, illuminated by a cool-hot flash of lemony ginger.

BLACK. Introduced in the top notes by elemi – a resin with pine, lemon and incense facets -, the mysterious, mineral accents of olibanum add their dark signature to y eau de parfum. Underscored by the deep bass thrum of smoky vetiver, a sensuous woody ambery base amps up the scent’s powerful radiance. Screen reader support enabled.

THE BOTTLE

The Y bottle is an expression of modernity. A masculine and sharp design, boldly cut out with the signature Y logo.
Thick glass surrounds the crystal blue juice within, emblematic of the urban backdrop to the modern man.
Dark sits alongside the light as the glass seamlessly transitions from an opaque black to a sky blue.

This tells the story of sophistication and duality; a man confident in his success yet always willing to go further.

THE INSPIRATION

Y is a testament to the YSL modern man.
A man who dares to follow his passions and carve his own path.
From inspiration, through hard work and collaboration, to self-accomplishment and success.
A man confident to take all of life’s challenges.

For the authentic and bold, YSL Beauty creates Y: the fragrance for those who dare to ask themselves ‘why not’.

PERFUMER'S WORDS

"I created Y Eau De parfum by accentuating the original white and dark fougere. I boosted the fusing of the aldehydes with the modern and explosive freshness of an apple accord to boost the top note’s clean and pure facet. I magnified the sensuality of a complex and vibrant ambery wood note with the deep warmness of the tonka bean." ~ Dominique Ropion, Master Perfumer.

APPLICATION TIPS

• - For light intensity: spray in a cloud around your head and shoulders, let the fragrance fall gently around you.
• - For medium intensity: spray in a y-shape across your body, beginning at one shoulder and finishing at the other. If you are wearing jewellery it is a great alternative to spraying your neck.
• - For added intensity: apply perfume directly to your pulse points and / or hot spots (wrist, inner elbow and lower neck). Here the heat of your body will allow the fragrance to reveal its full trail. Include shoulders and back to intensify your perfume trail.
