Yves Saint-Laurent is an atypical figure who never stopped surprising throughout his history. Behind his apparent shyness, he concealed an innovative spirit. A relentless worker, he literally revolutionized fashion until reaching full accomplishment. Now, these are precisely the values found in the Y collection by Yves Saint-Laurent. Launched in 2017, it is enriched with a new, bolder edition in 2023: Y Eau de Parfum Intense.
It was in 2017 that the house Yves Saint-Laurent decided to dedicate a new fragrance collection to the young Generation Y. Designed for today's men, the Y Eau de Toilette thus made its appearance in the form of a woody fougère. Since then, it has been a highly acclaimed creation, though some individuals still lament a lack of power. If that is your case, rest assured: Yves Saint-Laurent has just modified the formula, giving rise to Y Eau de Parfum Intense. Here is our review.
