YSL currently highlights fresh sage essence, crisp geranium absolute, sensual woods and warm tonka bean as the defining elements of Y Eau de Parfum.

Y Eau de Parfum opens bright and energetic, combining bergamot with juicy apple and the spicy freshness of ginger. The opening has a clean, contemporary character without becoming purely citrus-forward.

As it develops, sage and geranium become more prominent, giving Y EDP the aromatic character that YSL emphasizes in its current description. Juniper adds another fresh, slightly crisp dimension to the heart.

The drydown becomes deeper and smoother with cedarwood, vetiver, amber woods and tonka bean. The result is a fresh woody fragrance with a warmer and more sensual base than the initial opening suggests.

Y Eau de Parfum is a deeper interpretation of the Y concept, pairing its fresh aromatic character with sensual woods and warm tonka bean.

Y Eau de Toilette is positioned by YSL around crisp geranium, ambergris and incense, giving it a somewhat brighter and more transparent profile within the collection.

If you want the recognizable Y freshness with a warmer, fuller woody base, Y Eau de Parfum is the more natural place to start.

Y Eau de Parfum's combination of fresh aromatics and deeper woods makes it especially versatile. It can work well for the office, dinners, dates, social occasions, travel and everyday wear.

The fresh sage and geranium keep the fragrance suitable for daytime use, while the warmer woody and tonka base gives it enough depth for evenings and cooler weather.

It can be worn throughout much of the year, although application may be adjusted according to temperature and personal preference.

Longevity, projection, and sillage can vary depending on skin chemistry, application, climate, and environment.

A Y Eau de Parfum sample gives you the opportunity to experience the fragrance on your own skin before investing in a full bottle. Its transition from fresh apple, ginger and bergamot into sage, geranium and a warmer woody base is best evaluated over a complete wearing.

Sampling is also useful if you are deciding between Y Eau de Parfum and another fragrance from the Y collection, such as Y Eau de Toilette, Y Eau de Parfum Intense, Y Le Parfum or Y Elixir.

If you already enjoy the fragrance, a larger YSL Y travel spray offers a convenient way to carry it without traveling with the original full-size bottle.
