Yves Saint Laurent Y EDP Review (YSL Parfum Cologne)

Y EDP comes in a beautiful dark glass bottle in either 60 or 100 ml (2.02 or 3.38 ounces). The box is dark-coloured too. However, the YSL logo on top of the box, the cap, and the bottle is highly visible as it stands out sharply against the dark background. 

The bottle is plain and comes with no adornments — except the YSL logo. However, this minimal design only serves to make it look more elegant. If you wish, you can customize your YSL Y with fragrance engraving.

YSL EDP cologne is a unique combination of fresh, woody, spicy, fougère, and aromatic accords with a hint of citrus. It boasts a fresh, sexy, and intensely attractive scent that draws compliments. 

This crowd-puller kicks off with 3 key notes:

• Bergamot
• Apple
• Ginger

The apple notes are particularly striking, lending the fragrance its juicy, slightly sweet zing. The creamy bergamot pairs well with the crisp apple notes, while ginger’s invigorating spice wraps the trio scents into a unique and deliciously captivating aroma.

The middle notes begin with the herbal sage, which delivers an aromatic, peppery tinge. Next comes geranium and juniper berries, adding to the scent’s freshness.

Yves Saint Laurent Cologne Y sports a woody base thanks to amberwood, also known for its long-lasting performance. The drydown smells prominently of vanilla owing to the tonka bean. The two notes give YSL Y EDP cologne its smooth warmth, adding depth and longevity to the fragrance without affecting its crisp, clean, and sweet-smelling scent. 

Overall, the drydown is mature and refined, exuding sweetness, warmth and woody accords from the cedar and vetiver.
