Composition of the fragrance
The composition of the fragrance is based on a contrast between coolness and sensuality, which is typical of the Y collection. At the very start, you will be greeted by a fresh hint of juniper berries. Soon after, the interplay between floral notes of lavender and geranium is revealed. Combined notes of cedarwood and patchouli, which you’ll notice on your skin the longest, deliver intensity and sensuality to the fragrance.
Story of the fragrance
The Yves Saint Laurent Y Eau de Parfum Intense extends the successful Y men’s fragrance collection with its even more intense expression of masculinity. The bottle also points to its place in this perfume line, retaining the shape of its predecessors with their sharp edges and distinctive silver letter Y that dominates the whole design.
