What Does YSL Y EDP Smell Like?

Crisp apple and ginger up top, a clean aromatic heart of sage and geranium, then a smooth amberwood-and-tonka base with a little incense. It is fresh enough for daytime and warm enough for evenings — a modern 'blue' fragrance with more sweetness and depth than most.

Y EDP vs Y EDT

This is the Eau de Parfum. The EDT is sharper and more aromatic-woody. The EDP adds sweetness and an amberwood-tonka base, which makes it smoother, warmer and longer-lasting — and it is the version most people mean when they recommend 'YSL Y'.

Who It's For

• Office and college (2–3 sprays)
• Dates and evenings out (3–4 sprays)
• All year round — one of the most versatile designer scents
• Anyone choosing between blue designers: Y EDP is sweeter and smoother than Dior Sauvage EDP and more casual than Bleu de Chanel EDP

YSL Y EDP Decant: FAQ

How many sprays are in a 10ml YSL Y EDP decant?
A 10ml decant gives approximately 160 sprays — around 32 wears at five sprays each. Actual usage varies with spray strength and atomiser output; see our FAQ page for all sizes.

Is this decant 100% authentic Yves Saint Laurent?
Yes, every decant is hand-filled from an original retail bottle, never mixed or diluted. See our authenticity page for our full sourcing process.

Is YSL Y EDP better than Dior Sauvage?
Neither is 'better' — they are different. Sauvage is peppery and ambroxan-heavy; Y EDP is sweeter and smoother, with apple, sage and amberwood. If Sauvage feels too sharp on you, Y EDP is the one to try.

Is YSL Y EDP good for office wear?
Yes. It is clean, fresh and not cloying, so it works well in the office at 2–3 sprays.

How long does YSL Y EDP last?
Most wearers report 7–9 hours, with the amberwood and tonka lingering longest. Results vary with skin and weather.

When will my order arrive?
