Y Le Parfum by Yves Saint Laurent
Amber Fougere
In Y Le Parfum you find sweetness and fruitiness together with aldehydes in the opening. The mid is traditionally masculine with sage, lavender and geranium. The dry-down is creamy and oriental with tonka bean, balsamic olibanum and sexy incense.
Y Le Parfum is for a man who is confident and sensitive at the same time and wants to leave a good impression. He appreciates the contrast in this fragrance. It is fresh and aromatic as well as deeply alluring. I can see this more as an evening wear. It is a showcase of elegance and sophistication.
Y Le Parfum is a great blend, a generally likeable fragrance in all walks of life, younger or older does not matter, a relatively safe blind buy. Because of that niche perfume snobs could argue it is not interesting enough, another unnecessary release … totally predictable scent by Yves Saint Laurent. There is always this dilemma as to what extent perfume can be unique and when enough is enough. In that case, I would ask: “Do you actually wear your fragrances?.
