Y Le Parfum by Yves Saint Laurent is fresh lavender laid over a deep, sweet woody base. Crisp apple and grapefruit open it, with ginger for spark and aldehydes for a clean, bright shine. The heart turns aromatic: lavender, sage and geranium, herbal and a little floral. Tonka bean brings warmth underneath, while cedar, olibanum and patchouli add depth and a resinous trail. It launched in 2021 and is mostly worn by men who want freshness with some weight behind it. Voters choose it in autumn and winter, largely at night, and it is also picked for work. Its longevity is clearly voted long-lasting by most wearers, and its sillage moderate. A 10ml decant covers weeks of cold-weather wear, so you can live with it first.
