Yves Saint Laurent Y Eau De Parfum Spray 100 ML / 3.3 OZ

I bought this perfume as a gift for Devin, and he really likes it. He says the fragrance smells great and lasts a long time. I’m very happy with this purchase, especially since it was a gift and he really enjoyed it. Definitely recommend

I just received it and opened it. I have a lot of parfums since toilettes are too weak for me. Im in my late twenties with an office job and I party on the weekends so I usually buy fresh or sweet colognes. I also have a lot of Arabic ones from the Hawas and Afnan lines too. This one is very good; it's fresh, a little fruity, and it has that designer smell that I can't explain which usually Arabic parfums miss. You just smell like you put on a 2000 dollar Gucci jacket when you spray this on. The ginger smell is not as pugnant as it in on Imagination. This is fresh and the apple comes around in a sweet manner accompanied with lavender but in a masculine way. Best parfum to get blindly. YYYYYYYYYYY NOT lol hence the pun.

This is a spectacular buy! My girlfriend bought this for me as an early birthday gift, and I’m honestly tempted to start using it before my birthday. When she first let me smell it, I couldn’t believe how good it was,I immediately couldn’t wait for the actual date to wear it! I highly recommend that every man have this in his collection. The bergamot, cedar, and fruity notes are incredibly pungent and blend together beautifully. It’s an amazing fragrance that definitely makes an impression.. I love it and she does too...

The bottle I received is the real deal, not a fake. The price of this compared to retailers is a steal. The scent is one of my all time favorites. Longevity is about 5 hours if I overspray. If you're looking for beast mode this is not it.

Best cologne I've ever personally bought. Smells amazing and I get compliments constantly when wearing it. The smell is nice and clean and the smell is very high quality.

Smells amazing! I purchased a knockoff one on the Walmart website that was terrible. This though is the real deal! It's my favorite scent besides "Myself" by YSL. It lasts all day and is also refillable! Love it!

While new to exploring colognes, and off-put by anything "too-much", lookin at you, Axe, this is an elegant scent that works well with a mid-day refresh in summer heat, very nice!

Yves Saint Laurent Y has earned its reputation as one of the best modern designer fragrances, and after spending plenty of time wearing it, I can understand why. It combines freshness, sweetness, and woody depth into a fragrance that’s incredibly versatile and easy to enjoy. While I don’t think it’s quite deserving of a perfect score, it’s still one of the safest blind buys in men’s fragrances. The opening is immediately bright and energetic. You get a crisp burst of juicy green apple, fresh bergamot, and spicy ginger that creates a clean, uplifting first impression. It’s fresh without smelling like a typical citrus cologne and has just enough sweetness to make it stand out. The apple note is particularly well done—it smells crisp and natural rather than overly sugary or synthetic. The fragrance was created by Dominique Ropion and Claire Liégent, with notes including apple, bergamot, ginger, sage, juniper, geranium, amberwood, tonka bean, vetiver, and frankincense. As it begins to develop, aromatic sage and juniper berries come forward, giving the fragrance a masculine, clean “fresh out of the shower” quality. The herbal notes keep the sweetness under control, making it feel refined instead of overly youthful. This is where Y shines—it maintains its freshness while adding complexity. The dry down is smooth, warm, and slightly creamy. Amberwood, tonka bean, vetiver, and a touch of frankincense provide a woody backbone with just enough sweetness to keep things interesting. It remains masculine and modern without becoming heavy or overly smoky. The transition from the bright opening to the warm base is seamless, making it enjoyable from the first spray until the very end. Performance is excellent for a designer fragrance. I consistently get around 8–10 hours of longevity with strong projection during the first couple of hours before it settles into a pleasant scent bubble. It easily lasts through an entire workday and still leaves traces on clothing well into the next day. It’s one of those fragrances that gets noticed without overwhelming everyone around you. Community reviews similarly praise its longevity, projection, and versatility. One of its biggest strengths is versatility. Whether you’re going to work, heading out for dinner, running errands, or attending a semi-formal event, Y fits almost every situation. It works in every season, although I think it really excels during spring, fall, and cooler summer evenings. The bottle is also excellent. The thick glass, dark blue gradient, and silver Y wrapping around the bottle give it a premium look that matches the quality of the fragrance inside. The reason I can’t give it a full five stars is because of how incredibly popular it has become. Chances are you’ve smelled this DNA before, and if you’re a fragrance enthusiast with a larger collection, it may not feel particularly unique. The opening can also lean a bit sweet for those who prefer extremely fresh or citrus-forward fragrances, especially in very high heat. Overall, Y Eau de Parfum is one of the easiest fragrances to recommend. It’s clean, masculine, versatile, and consistently earns compliments. While it may not be the most original scent on the market, it delivers exactly what most people want in an everyday signature fragrance. Pros: * Fresh, clean, and masculine scent profile * Excellent longevity (8–10 hours) * Strong projection without being overwhelming * Extremely versatile for nearly any occasion * High compliment factor * Premium bottle and presentation Cons: * Very popular, so it doesn’t feel especially unique * Opening can be a bit sweet for some preferences * Higher retail price than many comparable designer fragrances
