Y Le Parfum
Yves Saint Laurent · Parfum / Extrait · 2021
≈ $135 · 100ml · approx. retail
The most concentrated take on Y, layering aldehydes and grapefruit over an aromatic lavender-sage heart and a deeper woody base of cedar, olibanum and patchouli. It trades some of the freshness of the EDP for added warmth and longevity.
