Yves Saint Laurent Y Elixir Eau de Parfum 60ml Spray

Yves Saint Laurent Y Elixir Eau de Parfum 60ml Spray is the most concentrated, dressed-up expression of the iconic Y line for men, launched in 2024 and composed by master perfumer Dominique Ropion. The composition opens on Provençal Diva lavender; centres on geranium captured in YSL Beauty's Ourika Community Gardens in Morocco; and dries down on a sensual base of frankincense and oud — a deep woody-spicy interpretation of Y's modern masculine signature.

The story behind Y Elixir

Y Elixir reinterprets the Y DNA in its most concentrated, dressed-up form. The Provençal Diva lavender adds a fresh aromatic lift; the Moroccan geranium provides green floral depth; and the frankincense-oud base extends the trail into a long, sensual woody-spicy sillage typical of an Elixir concentration.

Who it's for

Suited to wearers who already love the original Y and want a more concentrated, dressed-up version — fans of YSL La Nuit de L'Homme, Tom Ford Oud Wood or Maison Francis Kurkdjian Grand Soir will find Y Elixir a familiar match. Best in autumn and winter; ideal for evening, formal and special-occasion wear.

How to wear it

1. Spray onto pulse points — wrists, base of the throat, behind the ears — from around 15cm.
2. One to two sprays may be enough thanks to the high concentration; build up gently for evening wear.
3. Apply over an unscented body lotion to extend longevity on skin.
