YSL Y Eau de Parfum is a confident, fresh woody signature that opens with the lively brightness of apple, ginger, and bergamot before moving into a cool aromatic heart of sage, geranium, and juniper. As it settles, sensual woods with tonka, amberwood, cedar, vetiver, and a hint of frankincense create a clean modern trail that feels effortlessly dressed up or easygoing for daily wear.

Story & Positioning
YSL frames Y Eau de Parfum around the house uniform of a white T shirt with a black jacket, balancing clarity with depth. The composition plays on light and shadow, pairing a very clean sage and geranium accord with darker, seductive woods and a warm tonka glow. Within the modern blue aromatic and woody space, it is often compared with Bleu de Chanel, Dior Sauvage, and Versace Dylan Blue, making it a polished everyday choice that turns easily from office hours to evening plans.
Bottle & Design
The bottle is a deep blue glass with sharp shoulders and a striking silver Y that slices along the side, meeting a sculpted V notch in the glass. It feels architectural in the hand, reads cool and elegant on a dresser, and is available in refillable formats for reduced waste
