Y Le Parfum, the latest take on YSL’s Y scent, is set to become a mainstay within every man’s olfactive collection. Combining vibrant lavender with fresh geranium and bold black cedarwood, the woody concoction makes a powerful statement, elevating the original aroma to something entirely more intense. Like the fragrance, the bottle in which it lies is undeniably elegant, combining high-shine tinted glass with a matte cut-out that pays homage to the singular letter that makes up the perfume’s name.
