"Y" has so much character and is so unmistakable. Once you know it, I promise: you will not forget it.
This is what perfume *should* smell like. It smells, to me, like I imagine the best French shops smelled in the mid sixties. It is the definitive French-school fragrance!
The peach and plum lactones are just the right amount of creaminess, and don't weigh down the soft, cool elegance of this beauty.
It is at once comforting and austere, sensual and refined.
I think this one is also very accessible
to non-appreciators of old-fashioned fragrances. It is very likable and easy on the nose.
It has *marvelous* sillage. Whenever I wear it, I keep catching little smell "glimpses", and I thinking: "What is that amazing, perfect scent?" And it's me!
I disagree with other members, that this is an "office scent". That would be a waste. Wear it when you want people to know you have impeccable taste.


A great classic, my favourite fragrance by YSL.


Y is beautiful, green chypre, but again, difficult to wear because of this sensitivines of many chypres.

Probably our noses perceives the smells in very different way. In general I like strong, intense, complex scents and anything ligter may seem as light scent to me while for someone else it can be strong. I offered to try Paloma Picasso as I consider it as a strong chypre perfume and I was curious to know your opinion. To me Y is much much much lighter than Paloma Picasso.
Y is very well balanced chypre. A bit of green and citrusy notes and beautifully done wood. I think it is more intense than lets say Madam Rochas by Rochas but weaker than Paloma Picasso.


In opposite I feel it as quite light chypre perfume which is very well balanced too. Have you tried Paloma Picasso? I think thats the strong chypre.
