Y Eau de Parfum

Y Eau de Parfum by YSL – released back in 2018, this one’s the all-arounder that helped put the “Y” line on the map. Crafted by master perfumer Dominique Ropion, it’s a clean-cut, confident scent for the modern man who wants to smell fresh without smelling like every other guy at the office. It kicks off with apple, ginger, and bergamot—bright, juicy, and a little zippy, like biting into a crisp apple with a ginger ale chaser. In the middle, you get sage, juniper berries, and geranium, adding that aromatic punch with just enough herbal kick to keep things interesting. Then it settles into a rich, masculine base—amberwood, tonka bean, cedar, vetiver, and a hint of olibanum for a smooth, smoky finish.
