Y For Men Eau de Parfum, a play of light and dark signed Yves Saint Laurent
Yves Saint Laurent is today just as renowned for its highly refined men's wardrobe as for its fragrances. Yves Saint Laurent now offers men a complete style, synonymous with luxury and elegance. In 2017, the house made its mark by addressing today's new generation of men through the creation of its Y For Men Eau de Toilette. This time, that juice transforms and becomes Y For Men Eau de Parfum. Presented in a smoky black bottle, it immediately conveys a sense of elegance, more nocturnal and charismatic than before. Let us see whether this holds true on the olfactory level as well…
Y For Men Eau de Parfum, a fragrance belonging to the fougère family
Y For Men Eau de Parfum is a fragrance that fits fully within the world of men's perfumery, belonging, moreover, to one of the most renowned olfactory families of the masculine genre: the fougères. Beyond designating a plant, fougère groups together all fragrances built around a single, unique framework: a top featuring lavender, a more floral heart of geranium, and a base of oakmoss and coumarin. If this olfactory category appeals so much to men, it is simply because it is evocative of grooming products, and in particular the scent of shaving foam. Thus, the fougère family has been anchored in them for a very long time! Nevertheless, fougère can be crafted in different ways and paired with many other olfactory facets. Many perfumers enjoy playing with it and drawing inspiration from it. Such is the case of Yves Saint Laurent for Y For Men Eau de Parfum.
Y For Men Eau de Parfum, a highly contrasted scent
This time, Yves Saint Laurent's fougère relies on a play of light and dark. Y For Men Eau de Parfum is a fragrance filled with countless contrasts, which only amplifies its brilliance. According to its creator, the fragrance is fresh, sun-kissed and dynamic, like a scent of freedom. Y is modern, intense and electric, like an expression of power. Y For Men Eau de Parfum opens on a fruity scent of apple paired with bergamot. This opening carries a bitterness both soft and luminous. Y For Men Eau de Parfum is a composition filled with vitality, encouraging men to surpass themselves day after day. Then, the famous geranium, emblematic of fougères, takes its place in the heart, accompanied by a more aromatic note of sage. All the masculinity of Y For Men Eau de Parfum then resurfaces in its base. This becomes woodier. Finally, this fragrance ends with a smooth tenderness of tonka bean. Y For Men Eau de Parfum resembles a virile man concealing a tender heart behind his imposing stature.
