    Buying this one was a mistake. I was actually looking for something that smells like the discontinued Givenchy III ( I still am, desperately) and came across Y.The delicate flowers,the green notes,...

    Another of the great green classics. If Long Lost Perfume's dupe of Crepe de Chine is a hard pinch in the fanny (and it is), then YSL's Y is the soft brush of a man's lips against your cheek. Y...

    Unfortunately, this lovely green chypre didn't settle on my skin. In fact, it just disappeared and I didn't get to experience any of the clean or creaminess I was expecting.

    Y is a very gentle, unobtrusive, soft green chypre fragrance that would probably be ideal to wear in an office environment, where it would offend no-one! To be honest, apart from the opening...

    An old favourite that I keep coming back to time and time again. An old-fashioned elegant perfume that I have worn for over 20 years. I often purchase newer scents when they hit the market but I...

    I discovered this as a teenager, and needless to say, I didn't appreciate it then. I have always hated sharp green fragrances and Y's opening notes made me give it away. A few years later someone...

    Y - I simply love you! Probably my favourite YSL fragrance. I discovered Y when I was still a teenager, about 25 years ago. I loved it then, but I had to grow up first to really be able to...

    Agree. It is decidedely sophisticated. Appeal is not for really for youngsters. This is a fabulous fragrance!

    One of my all time favorites. Light yet complex and sophisticated. Definitely not your girl next door scent. This is a classic chypre and is such a subtle, yet really present scent. Love it!

    I discovered Y about 30 years ago, when Rive Guache was being heavily promoted. Y was the one that captured me though; it's so modern and bright, yet soft and complex too. I discovered it again...

    I fell in love with this perfume 20 years ago and still love it. Men also love it because every time I wear it, I get compliments. I think it's because it's light, not heavy, and there's...

    YSL Y was Yves Saint Laurent's first fragrance, making its debut in 1964. Nobody much talks about it, and I doubt the average Jane or Joe on the street has ever heard of it or wears it. But if you...

    Another unrecognized, obscure beauty. I've received many, many compliments on this one. It clings to my skin all day, and the smell of its notes wafting up during the day or evening is lovely.

    This didn't work on me, although I like other chypres such as Mitsouko and thought this might be a lighter alternative for warmer weather/daytime. Starchy aldehydes dominated the topnotes and...

    A typical YSL, for me it is a "spirit of YSL in a bottle" (it was introduced in 1964.): very chic, daring, intriguing and elegant fragrance. A green-chypre (light flowery scent with touches of...

    This is a lovely chypre with light and airy top and middle notes and a mossy base. It has a kind of "sparkle" to it that I think is very appealing, especially for spring. The floral notes stay...

    Y is my favorite scent of the YSL line. Y is a green chypre with a wonderful creamy base (to my nose, the same creamy base as Diorella). Elegant, the perfect scent for the office.
