Y, the men’s fragrance capturing the essence of the YSL modern man.

INSPIRATION:

Y is a testament to the YSL modern man.

A man who dares to follow his passions and carve his own path.

From inspiration, through hard work and collaboration, to self-accomplishment and success.  

A man confident to take all of life’s challenges.

For the authentic and bold, YSL Beauty creates Y: the fragrance for those who dare to ask themselves ‘why not’.

SCENT:

With both light and dark fougère facets, Y Eau de Parfum blends sophistication, sensuality and strength, echoing the multifaceted personality of the YSL man.

Woody and aromatic, the original Eau de Parfum opens with fresh notes of bergamot and ginger enhanced by juicy green apple for powerful freshness.

Sage and juniper bring masculinity contrasted with the elegance of geranium absolute and lavender, two floral notes at the heart of the Y olfactive signature.

At the base, a mysterious blend of sensual wood and frankincense is uncovered, reinforced by smokey vetiver for intensity.

Created by master perfumer Dominique Ropion.

• Top notes: apple accord, bergamot essence, ginger essence, elemi essence, aldehydes

BOTTLE:

The Y bottle is an expression of modernity. A masculine and sharp design, boldly cut out with the signature Y logo. Thick glass surrounds the crystal blue juice within, emblematic of the urban backdrop to the modern man. Dark sits alongside the light as the glass seamlessly transitions from an opaque black to a sky blue. This tells the story of sophistication and duality; a man confident in his success yet always willing to go further.
