Heart notes
Yves Saint Laurent Y EDP — the apple-sage signature of the modern young man
Yves Saint Laurent Y Eau de Parfum is the 2018 Eau de Parfum from French luxury fashion house Yves Saint Laurent, one of the most recognised modern symbols of men's perfumery. Widely searched as "YSL Y", "Y EDP", "YSL Y EDP", "Yves Saint Laurent Y", in Russian "ИСЛ Y", "YSL Y EDP", "Y духи" or simply "Y". The composition is signed by renowned perfumer Dominique Ropion.
Y and the YSL men's heritage
YSL released the classic YSL Y men's fragrance in 1971. In 2017 the brand reformulated the Y name to suit a new-generation modern young male audience — the new Y EDP (2018) is the most recognised member of this new line.
The character of Y EDP
YSL Y EDP sits in the classic aromatic woody family, but what sets it apart from typical men's fragrances is the apple-sage combination. Apple, grapefruit and ginger on the opening give a fresh, young start; geranium, sage (clary sage) and jasmine sambac in the heart add aromatic depth; vetiver, cedarwood, Ambroxan, tonka and patchouli in the base warm the dry-down and create the "modern young magnetic masculine" performance. Sillage is dense, longevity 8–10 hours.
Who is it for?
Y EDP is ideal for a 22+ male audience. It serves a modern, young, magnetic masculine image. Versatile across the office, business meetings, evening dates, birthdays, weddings and romantic occasions. Season-agnostic. Fans of more classic men's fragrances (e.g. Chanel Bleu de Chanel EDP) will find Y "younger and more modern".
Other popular YSL men's fragrances
Y EDP fans often also explore: YSL Libre (women's version), YSL Black Opium (women's coffee-vanilla), YSL La Nuit de L'Homme (classic masculine-cardamom).
