Y Eau de Toilette review

Y Eau de Toilette is the value way into the Y family. YSL Beauty describes it as a fresh and clean men's cologne in which sage and lavender meet crisp geranium, rounded out by sensual woods and masculine incense. It shares the sage and geranium core of Y Eau de Parfum but adds lavender and incense, and YSL also calls it long-lasting. It costs $140 for 3.3 oz and $115 for 2.0 oz, which is $30 less than the eau de parfum at the large size, and YSL's subscription option takes another 10% off with free shipping on recurring orders. The limits are clear: there are only two sizes, no travel spray and no refill. On YSL's US page it showed a 4.7 average across 2,081 reviews, which include incentivized reviews. We compared published notes, sizes and prices and did not wear-test any fragrance.
