Inspiration:

• Y is a testament to the YSL modern man
• A man who dares to follow his passions and carve his own path
• From inspiration, through hard work and collaboration, to self-accomplishment and success
• A man confident to take all of life’s challenges

For the authentic and bold, YSL Beauty creates Y: the fragrance for those who dare to ask themselves ‘why not’.

The YSL modern man is embodied by YSL Beauty fragrance ambassador Lenny Kravitz.

Scent:

Y L’Elixir, the quintessential fragrance for the self-accomplished man. A new exceptional scent, this evolution of the Y fragrance has a powerful presence, blending radiant freshness with a luxuriously woody twist. Opening with bergamot and ginger, L’Elixir is crisp and refreshing. At its heart, elegant, clean notes of lavender and geranium impart a timeless sophistication. As the scent evolves, delve into the opulence of a contrasting dark accord: a warm and rich incense evokes a sense of mystery, paired with notes of natural oud wood, exuding a leathery, sensual allure.

With long-lasting intensity, this olfaction has been artfully crafted by master perfumer Dominique Ropion.

• Top notes: Bergamot essence, ginger essence, elemi essence, saffron accord
• Middle notes: Diva lavender heart, sage essence, juniper essence, living geranium
• Base notes: Fir Balsam absolu, Olibanum Essence, cypriol essence, patchouli essence, oud essence

Bottle:

The Y bottle is an expression of modernity. The iconic creation by Suzanne Dalton takes on its most luxurious appearance yet for Y L'Elixir. In a bold statement on Y’s signature colour, ever-shifting, the new bottle catches the light through the elegant, translucent metallic blue shade of the glass.

Collection:

• Y Eau de Toilette: Bright & Fresh
• Y Eau de Parfum: Elegant & Bold
• Y Eau de Parfum Intense: Fresh & Spicy
• Y Le Parfum: Smooth & Intense

How to use:

• For light intensity: spray in a cloud around your head and shoulders, let the fragrance fall gently around you
• For medium intensity: spray in a y-shape across your body, beginning at one shoulder and finishing at the other. If you are wearing jewellery it is a great alternative to spraying your neck
• For added intensity: apply perfume directly to your pulse points and / or hot spots (wrist, inner elbow and lower neck). Here the heat of your body will allow the fragrance to reveal its full trail. Include shoulders and back to intensify your perfume trail
