Y Iced Cologne is the newest Y and the one built for heat. YSL Beauty calls it an eau de toilette intense: fresh iced mint and a Cooling Arcticle accord on top, a heart of living mint and blue sage, and a base of ambroxan and patchouli. YSL claims 12 hours of wear, a figure it bases on a consumer test of 63 men, and says the redesigned atomizer gives a spray that lasts 3 times longer than existing Y fragrances. It costs $155 for 3.3 oz, $128 for 2.0 oz and $35 for 0.33 oz, the cheapest travel size on our list. We rank it below the original Y versions because mint is a narrower style that suits summer and the gym more than evenings, and it is not listed as refillable. It showed a 4.8 average across 1,971 reviews on YSL's page, which include incentivized reviews. We compared published notes, sizes and prices and did not wear-test any fragrance.
