Yves Saint Laurent Y Eau de Parfum Spray for Men 10 ml Travel Spray — Aromatic fougère, Woody base

Yves Saint Laurent Y Eau de Parfum is a compact, travel-ready 10 ml men’s fragrance that blends crisp apple and bergamot with spicy ginger and a warm woody base.

This 0.34 ounce (10 ml) travel spray captures the signature YSL Y Intense aromatic fougère character in a portable size designed for sampling, gifting, or tossing into a carry-on. Created by perfumer Dominique Ropion and released in 2018, the composition opens with fresh, bright top notes and settles into a modern, masculine base of woods and ambered tonality. The mini format is ideal for trying the scent without committing to a full bottle and for staying fragrant on the go.

What does Y Eau de Parfum smell like at first?

The opening is lively and immediate, with fruit and citrus giving a bright first impression complemented by a spicy zing. These top notes provide energy and approachability during the first minutes of wear.

• Top notes: apple, bergamot for freshness
• Ginger adds a warm, spicy lift
• Clean, citrus-accented introduction suitable for daytime

How does the scent develop throughout the day?

After the opening, aromatic and herbal middle notes take center stage, softening the brightness and adding depth. The heart balances aromatic sage and juniper with floral geranium, creating a refined, slightly green character before the woody base appears.

• Heart notes: sage, juniper berries, geranium for herbaceous complexity
• Transition from fresh to aromatic within the first hour
• Works well in varied settings thanks to its layered evolution

What base notes give the fragrance its lasting power?

The dry down is anchored by warm, woody and resinous elements that provide persistence and masculinity without overpowering. These base components create an elegant foundation that lingers subtly on skin and clothing.

• Base notes: amberwood, tonka bean, cedar, vetiver and olibanum
• Warm, slightly sweet tonka and resinous olibanum for smooth depth
• Woody cedar and vetiver add structure and longevity

Who is this for? Y Eau de Parfum 10 ml travel spray suits men who want a refined, modern fougère in a convenient format. It’s a good pick for first-time YSL Y wearers, frequent travelers, gift buyers seeking a luxury sampler, or anyone who prefers a pocketable option to carry from day to night. The scent’s balance of fresh fruit, aromatic herbs, and warm woods makes it versatile across seasons and occasions without being overly sporty or too formal.
