Y Perfume by Yves Saint Laurent, Like a sophisticated woman, Y never goes out of style. Released in 1964, this feminine fragrance continues to be a beautiful and elegant choice. Top notes are reminiscent of flowers, fresh breezes and outdoor aromas. A delicate balance of aldehydes, green notes, honeysuckle, galbanum, gardenia, Mirabelle plum and peach achieve this glorious introduction. Floral heart notes enliven you, including hyacinth, tuberose, jasmine, ylang-ylang, Bulgarian rose and orris root. The woody, earthy base notes bring a sensual depth to the perfume, with oakmoss, vetiver, sandalwood, styrax, amber, benzoin and patchouli.

Launched in 1962, Yves Saint Laurent was created by a French fashion designer and protégé of Christian Dior. Initially successful in couture, the company is known as the founder of quality ready-to-wear women’s fashions. For over fifty years, the brand has offered exquisite make up, perfumes and colognes. It has been prolific in the perfume industry, from this classic perfume to popular contemporary scents. All products are original, authentic name brands. We do not sell knockoffs or imitations.

Hey, everyone. It's Sarah, and today, I'll be reviewing Y by YSL. Originally released in 2011, this perfume exudes elegance and class. Considered a floral fragrance, it opens with a bit of spice. And it's filled with beautiful notes, like white flower, iris, oakmoss, patchouli, and pink pepper. I would recommend this for refined women to have as their go to fragrance for special occasions. All right, everyone, that's all for today. If you want to see more reviews on your favorite products, be sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel.

Exquisite

I was thrilled to find this old favorite at FragranceX, it has become very hard to find. Fell in love with it 20 years ago and it still smells as breathtakingly lovely as I remembered it. It is a typical, classic complex blend that's so very French. It has so many layers that one is constantly

discovering lovely nuances as the head notes give way to the heart notes and so on. Word of advice - don't bathe in it, a little goes a long way. Better to re-apply to refresh rather than put a lot on at first. It can come on strong & has made me sneeze before I figured that out!

Disappointing!

The arresting element to the original Y I used to know is completely gone and it is difficult to say what remains other than a musky patchouli residue. I was really looking forward to this however, it was not to be.

I love this product and used it daily for years, BUT...

Used Y daily for many, many years and adored it with almost daily comments from others. But, after going off market it reappeared but does not smell exactly the same and I am disappointed . Please bring it back how it was.

There

Y, I'm told means 'there' I guess it doesn't imply 'Voila' as in a theatrical sense, but as something lingering and just..there. Yves is pronounced 'Eve' and so my question is not Y, or why, but E. Is this perfume E? The vagaries of language aside lets talk about oak moss and peach and chypre and the combinations that are famous:. Eau Savage, Diorella, Mitsouko, Cristalle, Calandre and Y. It is a great love I've never left behind, Y was designed to epitomise and anoint the House of Yves St Laurent. I purchased my last bottle from FragranceX and have yet to try the La Collection one. I hope it is as good.

Bottom Line

No, I would not recommend to a friend.

Like a memories...

I have been buying Y for my wife for the Springtime specially. She likes different fragrances but Chypres is most favorites. This perfume is very, very beautiful, classic one. Crisp, sharp aldehydes accompany to green leaves and flowers whirl at start. Sping as it is! Hyacinth and Narcissus with low tones Oakmoss is the main theme of this melody. Similar to woody and earthy smells after a warm rain. Fruity nuance rather because flowering honeysuckle than peaches and plums. Some time later the sharp edges have gone and left the lovely sophisticated and warm powder heart. Lasting power for Eau De Toilette about 4-6 hours on skin. If You looking for green & natural fragrances, this may be the one! Artistically balanced, not too formal, not too casual, very feminine but could be an unisex . Y was launched in 1964. And today it's an actual, charming soft and slightly bitter. Like a memories...

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.
