Our Take
YSL Y EDP sits in the sweet spot between fresh and warm. The opening is crisp apple and ginger, then it dries down into amberwood and tonka that give it real depth.
That combination makes it one of the most versatile designer colognes out there. It works at the office, on a date or out with friends, and it carries a little better than most fresh scents in cooler weather.
If you like the clean freshness of Sauvage or Bleu but want something a little sweeter and younger, Y is a great pick.
Scent Breakdown
- Apple, ginger and bergamot open fresh and crisp
