Y Eau de Parfum review

Y Eau de Parfum ranks first because it is the most complete YSL men's scent on sale in the US. YSL Beauty describes it as a fresh and woody fragrance with sage, geranium and sensual wood, and calls it long-lasting. That profile suits offices, weekends and evenings, which is why it scores highest for experience. It also has the most buying options in the Y line: a 0.33 oz travel size for $38, a 2.0 oz bottle for $136, the 3.3 oz bottle for $170, a 6.7 oz bottle for $239 and a 5 oz refill for $160 that fills the refillable 10, 60 and 100 mL bottles. On YSL's US page it showed 5,954 reviews with a 4.7 average, which YSL says includes incentivized reviews. The main tradeoff is price: Y Eau de Toilette has a similar sage and geranium core for $140. We compared published notes, sizes and prices and did not wear-test any fragrance.
