The absolute strength of a dark fougère, more intense than ever. Smooth freshness. Raw elegance. A men’s cologne that pairs the vibrancy of French lavender with the strength of American black cedarwood – two ingredients selected exclusively for YSL Beauty.

This powerful olfactive statement is underscored by the minty radiance of geranium & sensuality of incense. Starring YSL Beauty global fragrance ambassador Lenny Kravitz.

INSPIRATION
Y is a testament to the YSL modern man. A man who dares to follow his passions and carve his own path.

From inspiration, through hard work and collaboration, to self-accomplishment and success. A man confident to take all of life’s challenges.

For the authentic and bold, YSL Beauty creates Y: the fragrance for those who dare to ask themselves ‘why not’. The YSL modern man is embodied by YSL Beauty fragrance ambassador Lenny Kravitz.

SCENT
Exuding the absolute intensity of a dark fougère, NEW Y Le Parfum intensifies the sensuality and strength of the signature Y Eau de Parfum by heightening the contrast between a sparkling citrus opening, and deep and enveloping woody base notes.

At the heart of this men’s cologne, the vibrancy of French lavender is paired with the strength of American black cedarwood – two ingredients selected exclusively for YSL Beauty.

This powerful olfactive statement is underscored by the minty radiance of geranium & sensuality of incense.

Created by master perfumer Dominique Ropion.

BOTTLE
The Y bottle is an expression of modernity. A masculine and sharp design, boldly cut out with the signature Y logo. Y Le Parfum takes the signature Y silhouette and envelops it in full back lacquer, from top to bottom. A striking statement for a bold male fragrance.

Directions

APPLICATION
– For light intensity: spray in a cloud around your head and shoulders, let the fragrance fall gently around you.
– For medium intensity: spray in a y-shape across your body, beginning at one shoulder and finishing at the other. If you are wearing jewellery it is a great alternative to spraying your neck.
– For added intensity: apply perfume directly to your pulse points and / or hot spots (wrist, inner elbow and lower neck). Here the heat of your body will allow the fragrance to reveal its full trail. Include shoulders and back to intensify your perfume trail

OTHER APPLICATION TIPS:
– Hair & hair accessories: they can be fragranced for a gentle fragrance trail. For just a halo of scent, spray your hair brush only.
– Garments: perfume the inside of your jacket and coats for a medium trail. For added intensity of fragrance go further and perfume your shirt / jumper.
– Scarves: for lighter fragrance, spray a scarf and wrap the scarf around your neck to transfer fragrance onto yourself gently.
– Bathing: spritz perfume on warm bath water for an indulgent experience.
