Yves Saint Laurent Y Eau Fraiche Eau de Toilette 100ml Spray

Yves Saint Laurent Y Eau Fraiche Eau de Toilette 100ml is a fresh, aromatic-woody men's fragrance composed by perfumers Dominique Ropion and Claire Liégent, launched in 2020 as a summer-leaning take on the Y line. Lemon, ginger and pepper open over an aromatic heart of mint, geranium, juniper and lavender, settling into a clean cedar and olibanum base.

About Yves Saint Laurent Beauté

Yves Saint Laurent founded his eponymous fashion house in Paris in 1961 and became one of the most influential designers of the 20th century. The Beauté and fragrance arms (now part of L'Oréal Luxe) have produced enduring perfumery icons including Y, Opium, Black Opium and Libre. The Y line, refreshed in 2017 as a modern men's pillar, sits at the heart of YSL's contemporary masculine offering.

Fragrance notes

• Top: lemon, ginger, pepper
• Heart: mint, geranium, juniper berries, lavender
• Base: cedar, olibanum (frankincense)

Who it's for

Best for men who already wear or like Y Eau de Toilette and want a fresher, summer-leaning version of the signature. Suits warmer weather, daytime and active-lifestyle wear, with a clean cedar-frankincense base that gives the scent more longevity than typical eaux fraîches.

How to wear it

1. Spray two to three times onto pulse points — chest, neck and inner wrists — from roughly 15cm away.
2. Allow to dry naturally rather than rubbing the wrists.
3. Reapply mid-afternoon if needed; the eau de toilette concentration is designed to be refreshed.
4. Pair with the matching YSL Y deodorant or shower gel for fragrance layering.
