Y

Parfumour’s Interpretation of Yves Saint Laurent Y

Yves Saint Laurent Y is a fresh, modern masculine fragrance built around crisp bergamot, aromatic ginger and clean woods.

The Story Behind the Scent

Our interpretation follows the same crisp path: a bright bergamot and ginger opening, an aromatic juniper heart and a clean cedarwood drydown.

We build it as a long lasting Eau de Parfum with a high perfume oil load, made in the EU, so it stays fresh and modern through the day.

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 woody character with strong projection and longevity.

Who It’s For

It suits anyone who loves a fresh aromatic woody scent.

Common Questions

Close on the signature: a crisp bergamot and ginger opening over a juniper heart and a clean cedarwood base that gives the original its fresh, modern 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.

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.

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

It is made for a man who wants a fresh, clean, modern signature for everyday.

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