It is a powerful, dark, and sensual interpretation of the classic fougère fragrance family, blending clean freshness with raw, smoky depth.

About the Perfume

Launched in 2021 and masterfully composed by legendary master perfumer Dominique Ropion, Yves Saint Laurent Y Le Parfum redefines modern masculinity. It serves as an intense, blacked-out counterpart to the highly acclaimed Y Eau de Parfum. This fragrance captures the essence of the YSL man: accomplished, confident, and constantly pushing boundaries. By elevating the concentration to a pure Parfum, YSL delivers an olfactory contrast between bright, radiant top notes and a dark, velvety, mysterious base. It is a luxurious liquid embodiment of a tailored black suit.

Fragrance Notes

The magic of this fragrance lies in its captivating duality. It plays on a dramatic contrast between clean, vibrant top notes and an intensely dark, sensual dry-down.

Top Notes

• Green Apple: Offers a crisp, vibrant, and slightly sweet opening that immediately grabs attention.

• Aldehydes: Provides a clean, metallic, and airy freshness that mimics the scent of a freshly ironed white shirt.

• Ginger: Adds a sharp, spicy, and energizing kick to the initial spray.

• Grapefruit: Lends a bitter, zesty brightness that balances the sweetness of the apple.

Heart Notes

• Diva Lavender: Sourced sustainably from France, this note delivers a clean, aromatic, and deeply refined floral masculinity.

• Geranium: Adds a minty, rose-like green freshness that enhances the aromatic heart.

• Sage: Introduces an herbal, earthy, and sophisticated dimension that bridges the freshness to the dark base.

Base Notes

• American Cedarwood: Provides a robust, dry, and majestic woody foundation.

• Incense: Infuses a rich, smoky, and mysterious resinous warmth that wraps around the skin.

• Dark Patchouli: Earthy, sweet, and deep, adding an undeniable sensuality and complexity.

• Olibanum: A touch of high-quality frankincense that enhances the luxurious, smoky trail.

Performance

Longevity

As a pure parfum, the longevity of this fragrance is truly exceptional. On skin, it easily lasts between 8 to 12 hours, while lingering on clothing for days. It survives the warm, humid climate of Sri Lanka with ease, making it a highly reliable option for long working days or all-night events.

Projection

It opens with a strong, attention-grabbing projection for the first 2 to 3 hours. As it settles, it transforms into an incredibly alluring, dense scent bubble that extends within arm's length. It creates an intoxicating sillage trail that leaves a lasting impression without overpowering the room.

Best Seasons

While it features clean, fresh top notes that work well in warmer weather, the rich, smoky, and woody base notes make it exceptionally well-suited for cooler environments. In Sri Lanka, it shines brilliantly during the rainy seasons, cooler evenings, or inside continuously air-conditioned offices and luxury venues.

Best Occasions

This is a highly versatile yet undeniably upscale fragrance. It is perfectly suited for:

• High-powered business meetings and corporate settings.

• Formal evening galas, weddings, and red-carpet events.

• Intimate date nights where you want to project confidence and sensuality.

• Night outs when you want your fragrance to cut through the crowd.

Who Should Wear It

This fragrance is tailored for the mature, ambitious, and self-assured gentleman. If you enjoy clean, blue fragrances but want something darker, richer, more mysterious, and deeply sophisticated, this is your perfect match. It appeals to men who appreciate fine luxury and want their scent profile to command respect.

Bottle Design

The bottle of this masterpiece is a design statement in itself. Retaining the sharp, architectural silhouette of the Y collection, it is completely wrapped in a deep, glossy black lacquer. This opaque black finish represents absolute intensity, luxury, and mystery. The iconic silver 'Y' cut into the back of the glass bottle creates a stunning structural contrast, making it a dramatic, show-stopping addition to any vanity or dressing table.
