A polished woody amber that deepens the crisp Y signature, Y Le Parfum opens with an invigorating coolness before revealing fresh geranium over sensual patchouli and rich fir balsam, shaping a smooth blue blue-toned trail that feels clean, assertive, and long lasting. Crafted by master perfumer Dominique Ropion, it balances luminous lift with confident depth for day to night wear.

Story & Positioning
Positioned within the Y pillar, Le Parfum is presented by the brand as a more concentrated fresh woody ambery take, highlighting a midnight pine accord with geranium up top and a dark resinous base of fir balsam and patchouli. It reads dressy yet versatile, a refined alternative for fans of modern blue style masculines, often cross-shopped with Bleu de Chanel Eau de Parfum and Dior Sauvage while keeping the unmistakable Y character.
Bottle & Design
The square shouldered Y bottle appears in an intense deep midnight blue with the silver Y element embedded in the glass, designed to look sleek and architectural. The glass contains recycled content and the carton is FSC Mix certified.
