More about Yves Saint Laurent Y Le Parfum
Y Le Parfum by Yves Saint Laurent is a 2021 men's fragrance. The top notes are apple, grapefruit, ginger and aldehydes, so it opens crisp and sparkling. The heart notes of sage, lavender and geranium turn aromatic, and the base notes of cedar, olibanum, patchouli and tonka bean rest on smooth cedarwood and sensual tonka. Y Le Parfum by Yves Saint Laurent has a bold yet refined character, balancing fresh brightness with a dark, magnetic depth. Wearing it feels like walking through Paris at night in a tailored black suit, with city lights glinting across rain-washed streets. It was created to lift the signature Y into its most intense form, capturing elegance with a confident, modern edge. It is worn mostly in fall and winter, and above all at night and in the evening. Think of it for a man who likes fresh but dark scents on cool evenings out.
