Y - Le Parfum

Great

This scent is smooth, deep, and addictive. It has the clean DNA of the Y line, but darker and more mature. Think apple, sage, and a warm woodsy drydown with amazing staying power. I wear it mostly at night, but it’s versatile enough for daytime too. It smells expensive without trying too hard.

Smells great

Has great last fragrance and a lot of people give a lot of compliments. Bottle comes with cap so you can throw it in the gym bag or luggage when traveling.

A Daily Driver Perfume

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] The 2025 version of this cologne is very distinct from previous versions but I love it - it leans very heavily towards spicy & woody notes instead of aquatic. It is bold and has excellent lasting power, you’ll still smell it when you’re getting ready for bed. Definitely recommend!

Une signature olfactive puissante et élégante

Y Le Parfum est une véritable révélation. Il dégage une intensité moderne, avec un équilibre parfait entre fraîcheur aromatique et profondeur boisée. Les premières notes sont vives et dynamiques, tandis que le fond devient plus chaud, sensuel et affirmé. Une fragrance masculine, charismatique et longue tenue, idéale pour les soirées ou les grandes occasions. Le flacon noir mat est également très élégant, en parfaite adéquation avec l’univers YSL. Un parfum de caractère qui ne passe pas inaperçu.

Le sigh. WhySL?

High hopes had fallen hard. As a long time lover and wearer of the original Le Parfum, there was a bit of hesitation to purchase the 2025 reformulation. In fairness, I called a local shop to ask if they still had the black bottles with black label... to which they replied 'yes, that's what's in the case as a tester, so that's what should be available.' I rushed to purchase what I thought was the last and later found my product to be the new, midnight blue bottle with silver. Upon initial spray, it was recognizable. Good, even, but not what I would expect a 'bold reformulation' of Le Parfum to be. Simply put, it's just another version of the Eau De Parfum with a bit of holiday green mixed in. An easy cash-grab and a near identical twin to its flaking brothers EDT & EDP. No disrespect to the perfumer who'd done what they were asked, but what I loved so deeply about the mature, flagship model has been stripped away and replaced by another product targeted to a youthful male generation. The 2021 creation seemed to be intended for grown adults and I'm feeling like we're no longer the target market for YSL. I returned my bottle within 24 hours and began to search the grey market for 2021 bottle with no success. It's possible I may have just a few spritz's left of my last bottle and will hold on as long as I can until I can either find a full size out there somewhere or if YSL calls this what it is: "Eau De Parfum Reimagined", and re-releases the 2021 formula with zero changes to ingredients or process.

Bold, Smooth, and Long-Lasting

[I received this product in exchange for my honest review] Y Le Parfum is a bold yet refined fragrance that blends fresh apple and grapefruit with warm notes of sage, lavender, cedarwood, and creamy tonka bean. It’s smooth, modern, and incredibly versatile. A true powerhouse—lasting over 12 hours with strong projection, especially with multiple sprays. Sweet, masculine, and a total crowd pleaser. Excellent value for the performance and quality

Another Y Bomb!

Definitely have to add to the collection! More woodsy than the EDP, but just as many compliments. Perfect for Christmas!

Worth the hype

This is the best sent out there. The strength is gray and the packaging and bottle are amazing. You can really dress this up to down and the value for the money is stellar since it lasts forever.

Amazing!

Le Parfum is amazing! Women in stores notice,comment and hang around a little longer than they would have!

Clean and sophisticated

the crisp aroma with a hint of sweet from this fragrance provides a sophisticated approach to any gathering within high society
