Y, the first fragrance from Yves Saint Laurent, embodies the luxury & elegance of the YSL House of Fragrance. Yves Saint Laurent gave the initial of his name to this perfume creation, added a masculine touch to this fragrance for strong women. This is a scent for an elegant, sensual female, with a sense of her own freedom & potential. Yet she is restrained. Her sensuality is delicate, only detectable in the trail she leaves behind her. The top note of Yves Saint Laurent Y Eau De Toilette is almost cold through the presence of a fused spicy note combined with the freshness of bergamot. Then come sumptuous, silky soft notes of white flower. At the heart lies quintessentially elegant iris, a flower with woody overtones. The base opens onto a note of oak moss which is the hallmark of the elegance of chypre fragrances, associated with patchouli. Deep, vibrant & intense, patchouli accompanies the floral note to create a mysterious & exciting trail which leaves quite remarkable presence.
