Yves Saint Laurent Y Le Parfum is a bolder take on the original Eau de Parfum, it's more complex & is utterly masculine & sophisticated. It starts with a light sweetness, which is in contrast to the depth of the scent. This is achieved through zesty grapefruit & the fresh lightness of aldehydes. This warms to a vibrant aromatic heart of French lavender with sage & geranium, but it's the dark backdrop that's the true star. The sensual base brings together black cedarwood with patchouli, incense & tonka bean for a dark, smoky woodiness that lingers beautifully on the skin. Top notes are grapefruit, ginger, elemi, aldehydes. Heart notes are French lavender, sage, geranium. Base notes are American black cedarwood, olibanum, patchouli, tonka bean, incense. Why it's Escentual: We love when a brand takes an already captivating scent & gives it even more depth & complexity, & that's exactly what Yves Saint Laurent has done with this fragrance. Y Le Parfum is a darker & woodier take on the original, making it perfect for your new signature evening scent. We love the way it plays with sharp citrus & envelops it in a cocoon of dark woods & sensual musky tones for an undeniably seductive & masculine scent. We imagine it would make the perfect companion to a clean & crisp black shirt. & we have to tell you about the bottle.
