    Fantastic. Very classy in a cool sophisticated way. Quite expensive and hard to find in stores though which is unfortunate. It should be more popular for those who like a chypre type scent. even at...

    Y sails in on a cloud of nose-prickling aldehydes; whispers of dry nostalgic peach, the subtlest fruit of Mirabelle plum, and gardenia follow. The peach actually takes my nose not into the...

    Years ago, I had a coffret of YSL minis, and Y was one of them (in the parfum). I hadn't yet become really interested in perfumes, and I still was a little scared of chypres. I liked this but...

    There are more famous YSL perfumes—Paris, Opium, Rive Gauche, In Love Again—but this was the first, and it is as strange, reticent, gentle, elegant, and intelligent as Saint Laurent himself (the...

    I have tried both the vintage EDT and vintage Parfum, and unfortunately I found the scent to disappear very quickly on my wrist even with the pure parfum concentration. After some gorgeously...

    Smells of lemon, oakmoss, and jasmin to me. It does have that perfumey quality that unfortunately gets branded "old lady" on these reviews but if this is old lady then I want to be an old lady. ...

    Mixed feelings on this one. If you're in the mood for a heavy, old-fashioned chypre, look no further. It is strong on the oakmoss, yet still light enough to wear on a warm day and not feel too...

    Beautiful chypre. Opens with lovely aldehydes then dries down to woody green and oakmoss. Some fruitiness in the drydown too so not as dry as other chypres like Givenchy III. Long lasting,...

    Alas - this is absolutely horrible on me. Sharp, acrid, musty, smoky with undertones of cat pee. ONce again it just goes to show how much our body chemistry has to do with how a fragrance smells on...

    I really like chypres, but this one goes a little weird on me sometimes. I sprayed it on my wrist and petted the cat, and my brother picked the cat up and said "Why does she smell like curry?" ...

    If you like chypres and green scents, Y may be your perfection-in-a-bottle. At first spritz, it's a big green and powdery rush of aldehydes. Hold on, because after a few minutes of drydown, the...

    Classisism, Paris and Haute Couture - if you're into that type of thing, Y is your perfume. The green chypre type which siuts all elegant women and will never disturb anybody.

    I had all but given up on a honeysuckle scent that would work for me, but this the spirit of the flower: the dewey sparkle, the creamy sweetness, the touch of bright green, a slight depth of...

    I am a die-hard floral chypre girl, and in discussing another of that ilk with Tania/brooklyntbone, she mentioned Y by Yves Saint Laurent. I was in the midst of putting in an unsniffed perfume...

    Unfortunately chypres are not for me, I've also tried Chanel Cristalle among others, and it's the same effect - smells way too ladyish on me (I'm 27). Sephora's perfume...
