Y Live Intense

This is precisely how the Y fragrance by Yves Saint-Laurent was conceived, in 2017. As its name suggests, and aside from referring to the designer's first name, this is a fragrance intended for generation Y, more creative and ambitious than ever. A year after its creation, Y had already transformed into an Eau de Parfum. From a woody fougère, it had become a more aromatic fragrance. Once again, in 2019, history repeats itself. So, what might the new Y Live Eau de Toilette Intense hold.

Y Live Eau de Toilette Intense takes on a new bluish gradient

For the Y Live Eau de Toilette Intense fragrance, the house of Yves Saint-Laurent chose to reuse the previous bottle designed by Suzanne Dalton, in 2017. Understated yet original, this bottle is made of a thick rectangular block of glass, on which stands out a metallized bar bearing the name of Yves Saint-Laurent, forming a Y on one of its sides. The whole is topped with an imposing black cap, a mark of the full truth of this fragrance. While the bottle of Y Live Eau de Toilette Intense is nearly identical to that of its predecessors, it now takes on a new gradient color. Its base displays a light, clear and transparent blue. Its top, on the other hand, is much darker. In reality, this choice is far from incidental. This evolving color perfectly echoes the fragrance contained in this glass bottle…

Y Live Eau de Toilette Intense, a trembling fragrance, charged with emotion

Just as its lovely bluish gradient suggests, Y Live Eau de Toilette Intense evolves from a light, transparent base toward base notes that are more masculine, warm and sustained. It all begins with a blend of citrus, more precisely bergamot and lemon. These two refreshing essences give the man who wears this fragrance an exceptional sense of vitality in everyday life. Then, Y Live Eau de Toilette Intense evolves toward a heart that is more floral and spicy. The Mediterranean luminosity of orange blossom is paired with a more peppery geranium. To add a touch of gourmand character to the whole, the base notes of Y Live Eau de Toilette Intense also contain a round, bitter cocoa. Finally, it all comes to a close with hints of tonka bean.

Y Live Eau de Toilette Intense is a fragrance conceived as an emotion, a fleeting yet no less powerful instant. This essence draws inspiration from an extraordinary man, ready to fully come into his own. The image suddenly halts backstage, as the man in question is about to step from shadow into light. His heart pounds, his skin trembles, his senses are stirred… Such is the power of this contemporary fragrance.
