Y Le Parfum by Yves Saint Laurent

Aromatic Fougère · 2020 · Tier: designer · Approx $140

The modern fougère done right. Fresh apple-ginger opening dries down to sexy amber-tonka. Universal winner.

The psychology

Herbaceous freshness (sage, lavender) over sweet amber — reads as 'clean but not sterile.' The scent of a well-dressed 30-year-old.
