Y by Yves Saint Laurent is the scent of ambition, creativity, and bold self-expression—a modern woody aromatic fragrance for the man who dares to dream and achieve. Introduced in 2017, Y captures the crisp energy of youth and the refined strength of maturity in perfect harmony. It opens with an invigorating blend of bergamot, ginger, mint, lemon, and aldehydes—delivering a clean, fresh burst that commands attention.
As the fragrance develops, it reveals a vibrant heart of juicy apple, aromatic sage, pineapple, and floral touches of geranium and violet leaf, adding layers of complexity and charisma. The base is smooth and grounding, with ambergris, musk, cedarwood, vetiver, balsam fir, and a whisper of incense for a sensual, long-lasting trail. Y is for the man who's always moving forward—cool, confident, and unmistakably modern.
