Y Yves Saint Laurent (UNBOXED)

Y by Yves Saint Laurent is a woody aromatic fragrance that blends fresh citrus, crisp green fruits, and clean woody notes into a modern and energetic masculine composition. Fresh, youthful, and versatile, it is known for its sharp brightness balanced with a smooth musky-woody base. It was released in 2017 and composed by Dominique Ropion and Claire Liégent. It opens with aldehydes, bergamot, ginger, lemon, and mint, creating a fresh, sparkling, and slightly spicy introduction. The heart reveals apple, violet leaf, pineapple, sage, and geranium, adding a crisp fruity-green character with aromatic depth. The base settles into ambergris, musk, cedar, vetiver, balsam fir, and incense, resulting in a clean, woody, and slightly smoky drydown. Best suited for daily wear, office settings, and year-round use, Y performs with strong versatility, good projection, and modern freshness, making it ideal for someone who enjoys clean, energetic, and contemporary masculine fragrances. It belongs to the Y collection by Yves Saint Laurent and is an Eau de Parfum concentration.
