Yves Saint Laurent Y Eau de Parfum 100ml Spray

Yves Saint Laurent Y Eau de Parfum 100ml is a modern aromatic fougère for men, launched in 2018 as a richer, more sophisticated counterpart to the original 2017 Y Eau de Toilette. Created by master perfumers Dominique Ropion and Claire Liégent, it pairs a fresh apple-ginger-bergamot opening with a green, herbal heart of sage, juniper berries and geranium, before settling into a warm, masculine drydown of amberwood, tonka bean, cedar, vetiver and incense.

About Yves Saint Laurent

Yves Saint Laurent is one of the most influential French luxury houses, founded in Paris in 1961 by Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé. The house revolutionised modern womenswear with le smoking, Mondrian dresses and the safari jacket, and has produced some of the most iconic fragrances of the last fifty years — from Opium and Paris to Black Opium, Libre and the contemporary Y line. The Y franchise centres on confident modern masculinity, with the EDP standing as its richer, more affirmative chapter.

Who it's for

Y Eau de Parfum is for men who want a versatile signature that bridges day and evening — fresh enough for office wear yet warm enough to project through a night out. The aromatic-amber structure suits autumn and winter especially well, while the bright apple-ginger top notes keep it wearable in cooler spring conditions. A modern alternative to the classical fougère, with stronger longevity and depth than the EDT.

How to use

1. Spray onto pulse points — the base of the neck, behind the ears and on the wrists — from around 15 cm away.
2. One spray on the chest under a shirt extends the trail through the day.
3. For evening wear, add a single mist to a jacket lapel rather than rubbing it into the wrists.
