Yves Saint Laurent Y Eau de Toilette is the legendary first fragrance for women by YSL, launched in 1964. A true haute couture scent, it embodies timeless elegance and sophisticated femininity. This chypre floral creation evokes the contrast of cool citrus and aldehydes with the soft sensuality of white florals, settling into a warm, woody trail. Inspired by the refined complexity of a woman’s character, Y remains a radiant and enduring classic, as fresh and arresting today as it was at launch.

What Does YSL Y Eau de Toilette Smell Like?
The scent opens with airy aldehydes and luminous honeysuckle, mingled with creamy gardenia. The heart blooms into a full-bodied bouquet of tuberose, jasmine and rose—radiant, romantic and unmistakably feminine. As the fragrance evolves, a warm base of sandalwood, patchouli and amber adds a sophisticated depth that lingers softly on the skin like golden sunlight on a breeze.
Why Choose Yves Saint Laurent Y Eau de Toilette?
Y is a scent with heritage and soul—crafted to reflect a couture spirit and worn by generations of confident, elegant women. Its blend of structure and softness, brightness and warmth makes it a versatile signature fragrance. Whether you’re discovering Y for the first time or returning to a beloved classic, this Eau de Toilette delivers timeless French refinement in every spray.

It is great to be able to still buy “Y” as it is getting harder to find at such a good price. It is just a shame that YSL discontinued the perfume
... as I don’t think the eau de toilette is as nice.

When ordering I was a little skeptical about ordering from landy’s chemist, however that first initial skepticism was totally gone. Such good servic
...e, prompt delivery, value for money and a great product. This perfume was brought as a present for my mother, she loves it! She used to wear it as a teenager, and I’ve been looking for this for ages! So when I came across Landy’s I was so happy!
And the price is by far the cheapest on the market. So the moral of the story: don’t be out of with companies you don’t know, and cheaper looking websites.

I brought this lovely eau de toilette for my partner and like me he loves it. I really can not see anyone disliking this product as it smells amazing.
I received a sample of this fragrance from somewhere, I wore it and loved it. It's not until now when I've come online to buy a bottle that
...I've discovered it's a man's fragrance (I'm a woman). Anyway I'm still going to buy a bottle of it for myself. Airy, light and alluring scent which I now would describe as unisex.
