Yves Saint Laurent Y is a fresh aromatic woody fragrance for men. It launched in 2017 and is still in the line today. This is the 100ml bottle.
How It Smells
The opening is bergamot alongside ginger and aldehydes, which is the brightest part of the wear and fades within the first half hour. Underneath, sage alongside geranium and violet leaf carries the middle, and this is what most people will actually smell on you. What remains at the end of the day is fir balsam alongside cedar and incense, closer to the skin and warmer than the opening suggested.

Why You'll Love It
- Safe to wear in a shared office. Its moderate sillage reaches the person next to you rather than the whole room.
- Comfortable in Philippine heat. The Eau de Toilette strength keeps it light instead of turning heavy through the day.
- The fir balsam base gives it a grown-up finish once the opening settles.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this Yves Saint Laurent Y original?
Yes. Perfume Philippines has sold 100% original, imported fragrances online since 2012. Every bottle is fresh stock, and cash on delivery is available nationwide.
How long does Yves Saint Laurent Y last?
Moderate, around 5 to 7 hours. Spraying onto moisturised skin, and onto your shirt collar as well as your wrists, helps it hold longer in humid weather.
Is Y good for the office?
Yes. Sillage sits at moderate, an arm's length, so it stays within conversational distance instead of filling a shared room. One to three sprays is plenty in an air-conditioned space.
How does Y compare to YSL Y Eau de Parfum?
YSL Y Eau de Parfum is the closest comparison, the stronger, apple-and-sage EDP version that most shoppers compare it against. Y is built on a fir balsam base with bergamot up top, so judge them on that: if you want the fir balsam direction, this is the one. Both are stocked here when available, so you can compare prices directly.
COD nationwide, plus GCash, debit and credit card, and online banking.
