Y Le Parfum

Parfumour’s Interpretation of Yves Saint Laurent Y Le Parfum

Yves Saint Laurent Y Le Parfum is a warmer, richer take on Y, built around bright bergamot, aromatic lavender and a warm amberwood base.

The Story Behind the Scent

Our interpretation follows the same refined path: a bright bergamot opening, an aromatic lavender heart and a warm amberwood tonka drydown.

We build it as a long lasting Eau de Parfum with a high perfume oil load, made in the EU, so the warmth carries through the evening.

How Our Version Compares to the Original

We build ours as an eau de parfum with a high perfume oil load and sell direct, so you get the same fresh aromatic amber character with strong projection and longevity.

It suits anyone who loves a fresh aromatic amber scent.

Common Questions

How close is it to Yves Saint Laurent Y Le Parfum?

Close on the signature: a bright bergamot opening over an aromatic lavender heart and a warm amberwood and tonka base that gives the original its refined, warm character. We build ours at a high concentration for strong projection.

Is it stronger than the original?

We build ours as an eau de parfum with a high perfume oil load, so most people find it projects and lasts as well as, or better than, the original release.

Is this the same perfume as Yves Saint Laurent Y Le Parfum?

No. We do not use the same formula or ingredients. It is an independent interpretation made to evoke the same style, so you can enjoy the character at our price.

How long does it last?

You can expect several hours on skin. Spraying onto clothing as well as skin helps it last even longer.

Who is it best for?

It is made for a man who wants a fresh but warm, refined signature.

How should I apply it?

Spray on pulse points such as the wrists, neck and inner elbows. A light spritz on clothing makes it last through the day.
